This example list represents answers from five groups:
- The first group contains one person who answered “yes” to
3
questions: a
, b
, and c
.
- The second group contains three people; combined, they answered “yes” to
3
questions: a
, b
, and c
.
- The third group contains two people; combined, they answered “yes” to
3
questions: a
, b
, and c
.
- The fourth group contains four people; combined, they answered “yes” to only
1
question, a
.
- The last group contains one person who answered “yes” to only
1
question, b
.
In this example, the sum of these counts is 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1
= 11
.
Now it’s your turn. For each group, count the number of questions to which anyone answered “yes”. What is the sum of those counts?
