24,000-21,000=3,000nThe decrease is 3,000 dollars. Now, put 3,000 over 24,000 which is 1/8, which is 12.5 percent.

All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be

Aneli [31]

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

In which

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B)$

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.65$

78% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that $B = 0.78$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.78 = b + 0.65$

$b = 0.13$

85% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that $A = 0.85$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.85 = a + 0.65$

$a = 0.20$

Proficient in at least one:

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.20 + 0.13 + 0.65 = 0.98$

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

$C = 1 - (A \cup B) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02$

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

From the first equation
6x - y = 1
6x - y - 1 = 0
6x - 1 = y

Substituting we get

Explanation:
___________________________________
It would be best to list this values in the data set given, from least to greatest:
________________________________________________
{ 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 9 } .
________________________________________________
The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the data set, which is: "3".
_________________________________________________________
{The number, "3", occurs FOUR (4) times. The number, "4", occurs ONE (1) time. The number, "5", occurs TWO (2) times. The number, "6", occurs ONE (1) time. The number, "9", occurs ONE (1) time.}.
___________________________________________________
The range is calculated from subtracting the LOWEST value in the data set FROM the HIGHEST value in the data set.
____________________________________________________
The lowest values in the data set is: "3" .

The highest value in the data set is: "9" .
________________________________________________
To calculate the range: 9 <span>− 3 = 6 . The range is: "6".
