We are given |C| = 65%, |H| = 70%, and |W| = 75%. We want to find the minimum value of |C \u2229 H \u2229 W|.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s consider the students who *dislike* each type of movie.<br \/>\nPercentage disliking C = 100% &#8211; 65% = 35%.<br \/>\nPercentage disliking H = 100% &#8211; 70% = 30%.<br \/>\nPercentage disliking W = 100% &#8211; 75% = 25%.<br \/>\nA student who likes all three types of movies is a student who does *not* dislike any of the three types. The set of students liking all three (C \u2229 H \u2229 W) is the complement of the set of students disliking at least one type (Dislike C U Dislike H U Dislike W).<br \/>\n|C \u2229 H \u2229 W| = 100% &#8211; |Dislike C U Dislike H U Dislike W|.<br \/>\nTo minimize |C \u2229 H \u2229 W|, we need to maximize |Dislike C U Dislike H U Dislike W|.<br \/>\nThe maximum possible value of the union of three sets is the sum of their individual sizes (if they are disjoint).<br \/>\nMax |Dislike C U Dislike H U Dislike W| <= |Dislike C| + |Dislike H| + |Dislike W| = 35 + 30 + 25 = 90%.\nIf these dislike sets are disjoint, then 90% of students dislike at least one movie type. The remaining 100% - 90% = 10% must therefore like all three. This scenario is possible (e.g., different groups of students exclusively disliking one type).\nUsing the inclusion-exclusion principle for intersection:\n|C \u2229 H \u2229 W| >= |C| + |H| + |W| &#8211; 2 * 100% (since the maximum size of the total set is 100%)<br \/>\n|C \u2229 H \u2229 W| >= 65 + 70 + 75 &#8211; 200 = 210 &#8211; 200 = 10%.<br \/>\nThis formula gives the minimum possible intersection. Since we showed that 10% is achievable (when the dislike sets are disjoint), the minimum percentage is 10%.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nThis problem is a classic application of the inclusion-exclusion principle in set theory, particularly focused on finding the minimum size of the intersection of multiple sets. The &#8220;worst-case scenario&#8221; for the intersection size occurs when the sets are spread out as much as possible within the total population.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>65% students in a class like cartoon movies, 70% like horror movies, and 75% like war movies.
