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

You decide to put $5000 in a savings account to save $6000 down payment on a new car. If the account has an interest rate of 7%

Find four distinct complex numbers (which are neither purely imaginary nor purely real) such that each has an absolute value of
Luda [366]

Answer:

  • 0.5 + 2.985i
  • 1 + 2.828i
  • 1.5 + 2.598i
  • 2 + 2.236i

Explanation:

Complex numbers have the general form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part.

Since, the numbers are neither purely imaginary nor purely real a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0.

The absolute value of a complex number is its distance to the origin (0,0), so you use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the absolute value. Calling it |C|, that is:

  • |C| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Then, the work consists in finding pairs (a,b) for which:

  • \sqrt{a^2+b^2}=3

You can do it by setting any arbitrary value less than 3 to a or b and solving for the other:

\sqrt{a^2+b^2}=3\\ \\ a^2+b^2=3^2\\ \\ a^2=9-b^2\\ \\ a=\sqrt{9-b^2}

I will use b =0.5, b = 1, b = 1.5, b = 2

b=0.5;a=\sqrt{9-0.5^2}=2.958\\ \\b=1;a=\sqrt{9-1^2}=2.828\\ \\b=1.5;a=\sqrt{9-1.5^2}=2.598\\ \\b=2;a=\sqrt{9-2^2}=2.236

Then, four distinct complex numbers that have an absolute value of 3 are:

  • 0.5 + 2.985i
  • 1 + 2.828i
  • 1.5 + 2.598i
  • 2 + 2.236i

Maria bought a bag of flour so that she can make muffins it has a mass of 2.26 kg Shanice 450 g of flour to make one batch of mu
xenn [34]

Answer:

10 grams or 0.010kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the bag used to make flour is 2.26 kg = 2260 grams

Now, in order to find out how many badges she made, we would need to divide the weight of the bag by the amount needed to make a badge.

Therefore: \frac{2260}{450}  = 5.02

We know now that the bag will make 5 batches and will have some left over. In order to find how much we used, we can multiply 5 * 450 = 2250.

Therefore, in order to make 5 batches, Maria used exactly 2250 grams of flour which in result left us with 10 grams of the bag.

Note: 2260 -2250 = 10 grams.

Subtract, in order to find how many you have left.

Hope this helps.
