OG Sets question

by vikz_316 » Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:35 pm
Hi, I cant seem to solve this problem. Can someone please help me?
The skeleton-
200 students majoring in 1 or more sciences
130 students - chemistry
150 students - bio
At least 30 students not majoring in both
Q - range of students majoring in both

Answer is 110-130, but I would really appreciate a break down. :?

well, 110 is easy, isnt it?
the problem is with 130!
since the Q can not be bigger than number of chemistry students, therefore the range is 110 to 130.
