Given:

The number of male professors = 15.

The number of female professors = 9.

The number of male teaching assistants = 6.

The number of female teaching assistants = 12.

A person is selected randomly from the group.

Required:

We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

Explanation:

The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42

n(S) =The total number of people in the group

n(S)=42

Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.

The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30

n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.

n(A)=30

Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}P(A)=\frac{30}{42}P(A)=\frac{15}{21}=\frac{5}{7}

Final answer:

The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.

5h+4+52+64=180 what does that equal to
Softa [21]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+4+64+52=180

We move all terms to the left:

5x+4+64+52-(180)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5x-60=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

5x=60

x=60/5

x=12

When referring to the normal probability distribution, there is not just one; there is a "family" of normal probability distribu
pishuonlain [190]
<span>A probability distribution is formed from all possible outcomes of a random process (for a random variable X) and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distributions may either be discrete (distinct/separate outcomes, such as number of children) or continuous (a continuum of outcomes, such as height). A probability density function is defined such that the likelihood of a value of X between a and b equals the integral (area under the curve) between a and b. This probability is always positive. Further, we know that the area under the curve from negative infinity to positive infinity is one. The normal probability distribution, one of the fundamental continuous distributions of statistics, is actually a family of distributions (an infinite number of distributions with differing means (ÎĽ) and standard deviations (Ď). Because the normal distribution is a continuous distribution, we can not calculate exact probability for an outcome, but instead we calculate a probability for a range of outcomes (for example the probability that a random variable X is greater than 10). The normal distribution is symmetric and centered on the mean (same as the median and mode). While the x-axis ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity, nearly all of the X values fall within +/- three standard deviations of the mean (99.7% of values), while ~68% are within +/-1 standard deviation and ~95% are within +/- two standard deviations. This is often called the three sigma rule or the 68-95-99.7 rule. The normal density function is shown below (this formula won’t be on the diagnostic!)</span>
