Probability of a student playing both basketball and baseball is 7/28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given the class has 28 students out of which 11 play basketball and 13 play baseball. It is also given that 11 students play neither sport.

Total number of students = 28

Students playing neither sport = 11

Students playing at least one sport = 28 - 11 = 17

Step 2:

Let N(Basketball) denote the number of students playing  basketball and N(Baseball) denote the number of people playing  baseball.

Then N(Basketball U Baseball) denotes the total number of students playing basketball and baseball and N(Basketball ∩ Baseball) denotes playing both basketball and baseball.

Since the number of students playing at least one sport is 17, N (Basketball U Baseball) = 17.

N (Basketball U Baseball) = N(Basketball) + N(Baseball) - N(Basketball ∩ Baseball)

N(Basketball ∩ Baseball) = N(Basketball) + N(Baseball) - N (Basketball U Baseball)

N(Basketball ∩ Baseball) = 11 + 13 - 17 = 7

Step 3:

Number of students playing both basketball and baseball = 7

Total number of students = 28

Probability of a student playing both basketball and baseball is 7/28

Step 4:

Answer:

Probability of a student playing both basketball and baseball is 7/28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3 − 4x

Let x=-5

f(-5) = 3-4(-5)

       = 3 -(-20)

      = 3+20

     =23

3x + 4y = 14 x = 2y - 12 Which point satisfies both equations?
Neporo4naja [7]
X = 2y - 12....so sub 2y - 12 in for x in the other equation

3x + 4y = 14
3(2y - 12) + 4y = 14
6y - 36 + 4y = 14
6y + 4y = 14 + 36
10y = 50
y = 50/10
y = 5

x = 2y - 12
x = 2(5) - 12
x = 10 - 12
x = -2

solution is (-2,5) <==

Answer:

An artist use 51.9 feet of string for constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Here an artist is constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle having length 12 feet & width of 7 feet

Since the artist wants to use string to tightly tie each vertex of rectangle to the other three vertices. Hence one string will tie in a diagonal way

Hence total length of string will be

Total length = Perimeter of rectangle  +  length of diagonal

Perimeter of rectangle  = 2( length + width ) = 2 ( 12 + 7 ) = 2 x 19 = 38 feet

Length of diagonal given by Pythagoras theorem

\mathrm{Length =   {  \left(  { a  }^{ 2  }  + { b  }^{ 2  }    \right)    }^{ 0.5  }     =    {  \left(  { 12  }^{ 2  }  + { 7  }^{ 2  }    \right)    }^{ 0.5  }     = 13.89244\:\:feet}

Hence

Total length = Perimeter of rectangle  + length of diagonal

Total length = 38 feet + 13.89244 feet = 51.9 feet

Hence an artist use 51.9 feet of string for constructing a piece of art in the shape of rectangle
