Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A denotes the number of major defects and B denotes the number of design defect.
By considering the given information, we have
[tex]U=28\ ;\ n(A)=14\ ;\ n(B)=8\ \ ;\ n(A^c\cap B^c)=1[/tex]
Now, the number of major defects or design defects:
[tex]n(A\cup B)=U-n(A^c\cap B^c)=28-11=17[/tex]
Also,
[tex]n(A\cap B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cup B)\\\\\Rightarrow\ n(A\cap B)=14+8-17=5[/tex]
Hence, the number of design defects were major=5
