Solution

Dear student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:

120 had been exposed to chemical A.

so, n(A) = 120

50 had been exposed to chemical B.

n(B) = 50.

n(A∩B) = 30.

therefore the number of individuals exposed to chemical A but not B

= n(A) - n(A∩B)

= 120 - 30

= 90

the number of individuals exposed to chemical A or B

= n(A∪B)

= n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

= 120+50 - 30

= 140

Regards
