College Student Drink Preferences Survey

How many of the students drink coffee?

A) 165 students
B) 207 students
C) 199 students
D) 128 students

Final answer:

After constructing the Venn diagram with the provided survey data, it was found that 249 students drink coffee. However, this number does not match any of the multiple-choice answers, indicating a possible error in the question or provided options.

Explanation: To determine the number of students who drink coffee from the survey results given, we need to create a Venn diagram to visualize the data. According to the survey, 121 students drink coffee but neither soda nor milk, 128 students drink both soda and coffee but don't drink milk, and 39 students drink both soda and milk but don't drink coffee. There's no mention of students who drink all three or just milk and coffee, so we'll assume those numbers are zero for this question.

Since we're only interested in students who drink coffee, we'll focus on the coffee circle in our Venn diagram. The sum of students who drink coffee only and those who drink it with soda but not milk gives us the total number of coffee drinkers. 121 (coffee only) + 128 (soda and coffee) = 249.

Therefore, the answer to how many students drink coffee is 249 students, which isn't an option provided in the multiple-choice list. It seems there might have been either a mistake in the question options or in the information provided. If this number were correct, it would suggest that the data given in the question has been misinterpreted or is incomplete, potentially skewing the results.
