A TV network considering new contracts to televise pro sports hires a marketing consultant to conduct a survey of randomly selected TV viewers asking them
which of football, baseball, and basketball they go out of their way to watch on TV. Of those surveyed, 30 watch baseball, 1230 watch basketball, 300 watch
football, 95 watch basketball and football, and 565 watch none of the three. Every single person who watches baseball also watches basketball, and none of
those people watch football.
