The problem describes a class of 32 students. We are given information about how many students study German, Spanish, or neither language. We need to complete a Venn diagram, find the probability that a randomly chosen student studies Spanish but not German, and find the probability that a student who studies German also studies Spanish.

1. Problem Description

The problem describes a class of 32 students. We are given information about how many students study German, Spanish, or neither language. We need to complete a Venn diagram, find the probability that a randomly chosen student studies Spanish but not German, and find the probability that a student who studies German also studies Spanish.

2. Solution Steps

(i) Completing the Venn diagram:
- Total students = 32
- Students studying German = 15
- Students studying Spanish = 18
- Students studying neither = 5
Let xx be the number of students studying both German and Spanish.
Students studying only German = 15 - xx
Students studying only Spanish = 18 - xx
The sum of all students should be
3

2. $(15 - x) + (18 - x) + x + 5 = 32$

38x=3238 - x = 32
x=3832x = 38 - 32
x=6x = 6
So, 6 students study both German and Spanish.
Students studying only German = 156=915 - 6 = 9
Students studying only Spanish = 186=1218 - 6 = 12
The Venn diagram should show 9 students studying only German, 12 students studying only Spanish, 6 students studying both, and 5 students studying neither. (Note: the provided image already contained some incorrect numbers within the diagram.)
(ii) Probability of studying Spanish but not German:
The number of students who study Spanish but not German is
1

2. The total number of students is

3

2. The probability is $\frac{12}{32}$.

(iii) Probability of studying Spanish given that the student studies German:
The number of students studying German is
1

5. The number of students studying both German and Spanish is

6. The probability is $\frac{6}{15}$.

3. Final Answer

(i) Venn diagram values:
Only German: 9
Only Spanish: 12
Both: 6
Neither: 5
(ii) Probability of studying Spanish but not German: 1232\frac{12}{32}
(iii) Probability of studying Spanish given German: 615\frac{6}{15}
