    A walking group has 52 members. One week it ran a Wednesday walk and a Saturday walk.

    The frequency tree shows some information about the members who went on the walks.

    52Wednesday ?NotWednesday 37Saturday 8Not Saturday?Saturday ?Not Saturday?

    27 members went on the Saturday walk.

    The Venn diagram is to show the same information. The number who went on both walks has been filled in from the tree. The other regions are labelled P, Q and R.

    \(\xi\) = the 52 members, \(W\) = members who went on the Wednesday walk, \(S\) = members who went on the Saturday walk.
