200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

Total                              80                             120                200

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

6.A = 23 × 3 × 5 B = 22 × 3 × 52
frez [133]

Given:

The two numbers are

A=23\times 3\times 5

B=22\times 3\times 52

To find:

The highest common factor (HCF) of A and B

Solution:

We have,

A=23\times 3\times 5               ...(i)

B=22\times 3\times 52

All the factors of A are prime but the factors of B are not prime. So, it can be written as

B=2\times 11\times 3\times 13\times 2\times 2          ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), it is clear that 3 is the only common factor of A and B. So,

HCF(A,B) = 3

Therefore, the highest common factor (HCF) of A and B is 3.
