A student is applying to Harvard and Dartmouth. If the student is accepted at Dartmouth, the probability of being accepted at Ha
rvard is 40%. If the student is not accepted at Dartmouth there is an 80% of non-acceptance at Harvard. There is a 50% chance of being accepted at Dartmouth. What is the probability a student is accepted at both Harvard and Dartmouth?
1 answer:
I made a probability tree. Pls. see attachment.
Based on the probability tree I made, below are the probabilities
Probability of a student accepted at both Dartmouth and Harvard is:
50% x 40% = 20%
Probability of a student accepted at Dartmouth but not Harvard is:
50% x 60% = 30%
Probability of a student not accepted at Dartmouth but accepted in Harvard is:
50% x 20% = 10%
Probability of a student not accepted in both schools is:
50% x 80% = 40%
As you can see, these probabilities total 100%

Answer:
volume of cube share box = 67.92 inch²
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
soccer ball volume = 85.3π cubic inches
solution
we know that ball will fit inside the box when box length will be equal to diameter of ball
and here soccer ball volume will be express as
soccer ball volume = .................1
85.3π =
solve it we get
r³ = 69.9765
r = 4.12 inch
so diameter = 2 × 4.12 = 8.24 inch
diameter = length of box side
volume of cube share box = a²
volume of cube share box = 8.24²
volume of cube share box = 67.92 inch²
