All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 81% of the students were found to be

proficient in reading, 74% were found to be proficient in mathematics, and 64% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics. A student is chosen at random.(a) What is the probability that student is proficient in mathematics but not in reading?(b) What is the probability that student is proficient in reading but not in mathematics?

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

Explain how the value of 7 in 327,902 will change if you move it to the tens place
Ilya [14]
In the initial number xx7,xxx; 7 is in the thousands place meaning its value is 7,000.
If it is moved to the tens place = xxx,x7x then it's value will decrease, it will become 70 only.

Every placement has its corresponding values, thus whereven the number 7 is place it is multiplied by its corresponding values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc).

(4.1.4) Let X and Y be Bernoulli random variables. Let Z = X + Y. a. Show that if X and Y cannot both be equal to 1, then Z is a
Fynjy0 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a)

X ~ Bernoulli (p_x) and Y ~ Bernoulli (y_x)

X + Y = Z

The possible value for Z are Z = 0 when X = 0 and Y = 0

and Z = 1 when X = 0 and Y = 1 or when X = 1 and Y = 0

If X and Y can not be both equal to 1 , then the probability mass function of the random variable Z takes on the value of 0 for any value of Z other than 0 and 1,

Therefore Z is a Bernoulli random variable

b)

If X and Y can not be both equal to  1

then,

p_z = P(X=1 or Y=1)\\

p_z = P(X=1)+P(Y=1)-P(=1 and Y =1)

p_z = P(x=1)+P(Y=1)\\\\p_z=p_x+p_y

c)

If both X = 1 and Y = 1 then Z = 2

The possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1 and 2.

since a  Bernoulli variable should be take on only values 0 and 1 the random variable Z does not have Bernoulli distribution

If x =2 find the value of q in the equation 3x-4=x+q​
Effectus [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

given x=2

and the equation

3x - 4 = x + q

to find the value of q , you need to make q the subject in the equation as shown below

q= 3x-x -4

q=2x-4

but x= 2

so just substitute the value of x in the equation for the q

q = 2(2) - 4

q=4-4

q=0

therefore the value of q is 0
