(a(i)(a)) Number who complained of body weakness only.[1]

Verified working — step 1

Body weakness only = region inside W but outside H and F = …

(a(i)(b)) Number who complained of body weakness and fever only.[1]

Verified working — step 1

Body weakness and fever only (W∩F but not H) = …

(a(i)(c)) Number who complained of headache.[1]

Verified working — step 1

Headache (set H) = the two H regions = 14 + 6 = …

(a(ii)) Calculate the percentage of those who complained of all three ailments.[2]

Verified working — step 1

Total surveyed = 18+13+14+6+5 = 56

(b) Solve the inequality (32)n + 5 < 14.[2]

Verified working — step 1

(32)n + 5 < 14

(c) Given that 4% of bricks get damaged, how many bricks should a builder order if 4 800 are needed?[2]
