Answer: Our required probability is 0.1695.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of male applicants = 4200

Number of female applicants = 3800

So, total number of applicants = 4200+3800 = 8000

Probability of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.4\times 0.4=0.16

Probability of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.4\times 0.45\\\\=0.18

Number of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.16\times 4200\\\\=672

Number of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.18\times 3800\\\\=684

So, Probability that a student who applied  for admission will be accepted by the university and subsequently will enroll is given by

\dfrac{672+684}{8000}\\\\=\dfrac{1356}{8000}\\\\=0.1695

Hence, our required probability is 0.1695.

Solve the equations if possible <br><br> * -5×=×+6(1-×)<br><br> *(2×-5)²=(2×-1)(2×+1)-10(2×-1)
Allushta [10]
-5x = x + 6(1-x)

-5x = x + 6(1) + 6(-x)
-5x = x + 6 -6x
-5x = x - 6x + 6
-5x = -5x + 6
-5x + 5x = 6
0 = 6  Not equal. No solution.

(2x-5)² = (2x-1)(2x+1) -10(2x-1)
(2x-5)(2x-5) = (2x-1)(2x+1) - 20x + 10
2x(2x-5)-5(2x-5) = 2x(2x+1)-1(2x+1) - 20x + 10
4x² - 10x -10x + 25 = 4x² + 2x - 2x -1 - 20x + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 1 + 10
4x² - 20x + 25 = 4x² - 20x - 9

Not equal. No solution.
