1. Twenty-four dogs are in a kennel. Twelve of the dogs are black, six of the dogs have
short tails, and fifteen of the dogs have long hair. There is only one dog that is black
with a short tail and long hair. Two of the dogs are black with short tails and do not have
long hair. Two of the dogs have short tails and long hair but are not black. If all of the
dogs in the kennel have at least one of the mentioned characteristics, how many dogs
are black with long hair but do not have short tails?

2. In a school of 320 students, 85 students are in the band, 200 students are on sports

3. A veterinarian surveys 26 of his patrons. He discovers that 14 have dogs, 10 have

5 . Suppose I discover that my cat has a taste for the adorable little geckoes that live in
the bushes and vines in my back yard. In one month, he deposits the following on my

escape capture, and fifteen geckoes that he'd chewed on a little. Only one of the
geckoes was gray, chewed on, and tailless; two were gray and tailless but not chewed
on; two were gray and chewed on but not tailless. If there were a total of 24 geckoes left
on my carpet that month, and all of the geckoes were at least one of "gray", "tailless",
and "chewed on", how many were tailless and chewed on but not gray?

failed both Algebra and Biology, (5) six students failed both Algebra and Chemistry, (6)
