Answer:

$\frac{11}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total male students = 200

Students who play football (F)= 58

Students who play basketball (B)= 40

Students who play both (F∩B)= 8

The number of students who play either sport is

$(F\cup B)=F+B-(F\cap B)$

$(F\cup B)=58+40-8=90$

The number of students who play neither sport is

$200-(F\cup B)=200-90=110$

The probability that a randomly selected male student plays neither sport is

$Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of students who play neither sport}}{\text{Total male students}}$

$Probability=\dfrac{110}{200}$

$Probability=\dfrac{11}{20}$

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{11}{20}$ .

The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 3.5 . Suppose 49 golfers p

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The probability that the average score of the 49 golfers exceeded 62 is 0.3897

Step-by-step explanation:

The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 3.5

$\mu = 61$

$\sigma = 3.5$

We are supposed to find he probability that the average score of the 49 golfers exceeded 62.

Formula : $Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{62-61}{3.5}$

$Z=0.285$

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.6103

P(x>62)=1-P(x<62)=1-0.6103=0.3897

Hence the probability that the average score of the 49 golfers exceeded 62 is 0.3897

Write the composite function in the form f(g(x)). [Identify the inner function u = g(x) and the outer function y = f(u).] y = ta

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The inner function is $u = \pi x$ .

The outer function is $f(u) = \tan{u}$ .

$\frac{dy}{dx} = y^{\prime} = \sec^{2}(u)*\pi = \pi\sec^{2}{\pi x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner function is the one we apply the outer function to.

So

$y = \tan{\pi x}$

We apply the outer function tangent to $\pi x$ .

So, the inner function is $u = \pi x$ .

The outer function is $f(u) = \tan{u}$ .

The derivative of a compositve function

$y = f(u)$ in which $u = g(x)$ is given by the following function.

$y^{\prime} = f^{\prime}(u)*g^{\prime}(x)$

So

$f(u) = \tan{u}$

$f^{\prime}(u) = \sec^{2}{u}$

$u = g(x) = \pi x$

$g^{\prime}(x) = \pi$

So

$y^{\prime} = f^{\prime}(u)*g^{\prime}(x)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = y^{\prime} = \sec^{2}(u)*\pi = \pi\sec^{2}{\pi x}$
