  • 1. Oiled Birds

    Birds were collected in areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Through November 2, 2010, a report indicates that of the birds collected, 4342 were visibly oiled, 6104 were dead, and 2263 were both visibly oiled and dead. Draw a set diagram that shows the information.

      The number of birds that were dead, but not visibly oiled was

      The number of birds that were visibly oiled, but not dead was
