Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

0.0108 = 1.08% probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major

Out of 92 students, 9 are non-chemistry major sophomores. So

P(A) = \frac{9}{92}

Then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

Now, there are 91 students(1 has been chosen), of which 10 are non-chemistry major juniors. So

P(B) = \frac{10}{91}

What is the probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random

P = P(A)*P(B) = \frac{9}{92}*\frac{10}{91} = \frac{9*10}{92*91} = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

Hitman42 [59]

The amount each friend does pay is £9.75

<h3>How to calculate the pay of each friend using fractions and arithmetic operations?</h3>

We are going to find 5% of the total amount paid and divide it by the numbers of all the friends to determine the amount paid by each one of them.

From the given information:

  • The 5% of 130 = £6.5
  • Total amount paid = £130 + £6.5 = £136.5

Therefore, the cost of each friend is = \dfrac{136.5}{14}

The cost of each friend = £9.75
