Answer:

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

The probability that a student is proficient in reading, but not in mathematics is, 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the events:

L: The student is proficient in reading

M: The student is proficient in math

The probabilities are given by:

P (L) = 0.81\\P (M) = 0.74\\P (L\bigcap M) = 0.64

P (M\bigcap L^c) = P (M) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.74 - 0.64 = 0.1\\P (M^c\bigcap L) = P (L) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.81 - 0.64 = 0.17

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

The probability that a student is proficient in reading, but not in mathematics is, 0.17

I need help with this question.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bases be x and x + 6.

Substituting the known values into the formula :

  • A = 1/2 x (a + b) x h
  • 48 = 1/2 x (x + x + 6) x 4
  • 2x + 6 = 24
  • 2x = 18
  • x = 9

The base lengths are :

  1. x = 9 inches
  2. x + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15 inches

lawyer [7]

Answer:

26 or 62

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the two digits of a two-digit number is three times the other digit, then the options for the two-digit number are:

  • 13 or 31
  • 26 or 62
  • 39 or 93

If you interchange the digits of this two-digit number and add the resulting number to the original number, you get 88.

From inspection of the listed pairs of numbers, the only pair that sums to 88 is 26 and 62:

⇒ 26 + 62 = 88

Therefore, the original number is either 26 or 62.

Answer:

The correct option is Sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume refers to the amount of three-D space that a liquid, a solid or a gas, occupies. Some of the most commonly used units of volume are cubic meters, liters, millilitres and cubic centimetres.

Whereas, capacity refers to the capability to hold or absorb something. It is similar in theory to volume, but there are little dissimilarities.  

Consider the example below:

  • The nitrogen gas cistern has a capacity of 12 gallons.
  • The gas in the experiment expanded to three times its original volume.

So, the capacity of a container can be or cannot be less than the volume.

Thus, the correct option is Sometimes.
