Let C be the set of all students in the <u>c</u>lassroom.

Let P and M be the sets of students that pass <u>p</u>hysics and <u>m</u>ath, respectively.

We're given

n(C) = 60

n(P \cap M') = 17

n(P \cap M) = 25

n((P \cup M)') = n(P' \cap M') = 9

i. We can split up P into subsets of students that pass both physics and math (P\cap M) and those that pass only physics (P\cap M'). These sets are disjoint, so

n(P) = n(P\cap M) + n(P\cap M') = 25 + 17 = \boxed{42}

ii. 9 students fails both subjects, so we find

n(C) = n(P\cup M) + n(P\cup M)' \implies n(P\cup M) = 60 - 9 = 51

By the inclusion/exclusion principle,

n(P\cup M) = n(P) + n(M) - n(P\cap M)

Using the result from part (i), we have

n(M) = 51 - 42 + 25 = 34

and so the probability of selecting a student from this set is

\mathrm{Pr}(M) = \dfrac{34}{60} = \boxed{\dfrac{17}{30}}

Which of the following are solutions to the quadratic equation? Check all that
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

x = 1/3 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 7x - 2 = - x^2 + 2x

3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0 (use factoring)

(3x − 1)(x + 2) = 0

3x - 1 = 0    OR     x + 2 = 0

3x = 1                   x = - 2

x = 1/3

Can you mark as brainliest? Hope it helps by the way!

The freezing point of water is 32°F. When water is at or below this temperature, it is in solid form. Which statements are true
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The number 32 is part of the solution set

The circle on the graph is closed

The arrow on the graph points to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 32 is part of the solution because it said that water freezes at 32 degrees when it is at or below 32

The circle on the graph is closed because 32 is part of the answer , when the solution is showed then the circle is closed.

Last but not least the arrow on the graph points left because water freezes when it is at 32 or below 32 degrees, so when it points left the numbers become lower.

Hope this helped! :)

What value is true of x makes this equation true 0.7x-5=0.2x+1
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make sure x is on both sides of the equation. So you do 0.7x-5-0.2x=0.2x+1-0.2x. Which just simplifies to 0.5x-5=1. You make sure x is the only thing on that side of the equation so you do 0.5x-5+5=1+5 which simplifies to 0.5x=6. Multiply the equation times 2 to just have x. x=12. The value that makes true of x is 12.
