Answer:

\dfrac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

  • Total number of pupils = 20
  • 3 pupils play the flute
  • 6 pupils play the piano only
  • 6 play both instruments

We can assume that 3 pupils play the flute <u>only</u> as we have also been told that 6 pupils play both instruments.

To calculate the probability that a randomly chosen pupil plays neither instrument, first determine how many pupils do not play an instrument by subtracting the number of pupils who do play an instrument from the total number of pupils:

⇒ total number of pupils - pupils who play instruments

⇒ 20 - (3 + 6 + 6)

⇒ 20 - 15

⇒ 5

Therefore, 5 pupils do not play the piano and/or flute.

To calculate probability:

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

Therefore:

\implies \textsf{Probability of a pupil playing neither instrument} = \dfrac{5}{20}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Answer
5/20
0.25

Step 1
Add all pupils that play the listed instruments

6+6+3= 15

Step 2
Subtract 15 from total number of pupils

20-15= 5

Step 3
You now have a 5/20 chance of choosing a pupil that does not play a listed instrument.

Marrrta [24]
A function is a relationship with a quantity (number). For example, if you made a table, and had one side be 1 2 3 4 5 (X axis) and then the y axis (other side) be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, the function (rule) would be y= x5. The vertical line test is used to see if a graph has a function or not, so if it creates a vertical line on a graph, it has a function.
A real life situation would be miles per hour, so, for the x axis (hours) it said 1, and for the y axis (miles) it would be 60, this means in a duration of 1 hour you went 60 miles. Well, lets say you went 2 hours driving, the miles would be 120. 
For 3 hours, it would be 180. The function here is y= x60!
