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.

19 is you awnser since:

By order of operations first do the exponent and then do the multiplication and finally the subtraction

3 to the third is 27

4 times 2 is 8

so 27-8 is 19

25 Select the correct answer. What is the average rate of change of f(x), represented by the graph, over the interval [-1, 2]? A
sesenic [268]

The average rate of change of the function over the interval [-1, 2] is: C. 2.5.

<h3>How to Find the Average Rate of Change?</h3>

The average rate of change over an interval of a function is: f(b) - f(a) / b - a.

Given the interval  [-1, 2]:

a = -1; f(a) = -5

b = 2; f(b) = 2.5

Average rate of change = (2.5 - (-5)) / (2 - (-1)) = 7.5/3

Average rate of change = 2.5 (option C).
