To find the values of \( n_1, n_2, n_3, \) and \( n_4 \) in the Venn diagram: 1. **First, calculate the number of girls who play only rugby:** Total playing rugby = 26 Playing both rugby and basketball = 14 So, girls playing only rugby, \( n_1 = 26 - 14 = 12 \). 2. **Next, calculate the number of girls who play only basketball:** Total playing basketball = 37 Playing both rugby and basketball = 14 So, girls playing only basketball, \( n_2 = 37 - 14 = 23 \). 3. **For the girls who play both sports:** From the problem, we know that \( n_3 = 14 \). 4. **Finally, calculate the number of girls who play neither sport:** Total girls = 86 Girls playing rugby or basketball = Girls playing only rugby + Girls playing only basketball + Girls playing both + Girls playing neither We have 12 (rugby) + 23 (basketball) + 14 (both) + \( n_4 \) (neither) = 49 (total playing rugby or basketball). Thus, the girls playing neither, \( n_4 = 86 - 49 = 37 \). The values are: - \( n_1 = 12 \) (only rugby) - \( n_2 = 23 \) (only basketball) - \( n_3 = 14 \) (both sports) - \( n_4 = 37 \) (neither sport)
