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

Find the volume of the square pyramid showing. round to the nearest 10th if necessary
solong [7]
The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid).

Here the area of the base is (10 ft)^2 = 100 ft^2.

13 ft is the height of one of the triangular sides, but not the height of the pyramid.  To find the latter, draw another triangle whose upper vertex is connected to the middle of one of the four equal sides of the base by a diagonal of length 13 ft.  That "middle" is 5 units straight down from the upper vertex.  Thus, you have a triangle with known hypotenuse (13 ft) and known opposite side 5 feet (half of 10 ft).  What is the height of the pyramid?  
To find this, use the Pyth. Thm.:  (5 ft)^2 + y^2 = (13 ft)^2.  y = 12 ft.

Then the vol. of the pyramid is (1/3)(area of base)(height of pyramid) =
(1/3)(100 ft^2)(12 ft) = 400 ft^3 (answer)
