There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.

1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21

So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:

84(8/21) = 32 people

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST! pls help thank u sm!! :-) u are all amazing
Andrews [41]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x+9)^{\frac{3}{4} } = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

(x+9)^{\frac{3}{4} } = 8

Raise both sides to the power of \frac{4}{3}

x + 9 = 8^{\frac{4}{3} } = (\sqrt[3]{8}) ^{4} = 2^{4} = 16 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 7 → C

An elementary school is offering 2 language classes: one in Spanish (S) and one in French (F). Given that P(S) = 50%, P(F) = 40%
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French = 0.5 .

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish = 0.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an elementary school is offering 2 language classes ;

 <em>Spanish Language is denoted by S and French language is denoted by F.</em>

Also we are given, P(S) = 0.5 {Probability of students taking Spanish language}

P(F) = 0.4 {Probability of students taking French language}

P(S\bigcup F) = 0.7 {Probability of students taking Spanish or French Language}

<em>We know that,  </em>P(A\bigcup B)<em>  = </em>P(A) + P(B) -<em> </em>P(A\bigcap B)<em />

So, P(S\bigcap F) = P(S) + P(F) - P(S\bigcup F) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.7 = 0.2

P(S\bigcap F) means Probability of students taking  both Spanish and French Language.

Also, P(S)' = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

         P(F)' = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

        P(S'\bigcap F') = 1 -  P(S\bigcup F) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French is given by P(S/F);

  P(S/F) = \frac{P(S\bigcap F)}{P(F)} = \frac{0.2}{0.4} = 0.5

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish is given by P(F'/S');

   P(F'/S') = \frac{P(S'\bigcap F')}{P(S')} = \frac{1- P(S\bigcup F)}{1-P(S)} = \frac{0.3}{0.5} = 0.6 .

Note: 2. A pair of fair dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears  ; This question is incomplete please provide with complete detail.
