Answer:

<em>0</em> is the probability that a  randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass  instrument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of students who play stringed instruments, N(A) = 15

Number of students who play brass instruments, N(B) = 20

Number of students who play neither, N(A \cup B)' = 5

<u>To find:</u>

The probability that a randomly selected students plays both = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

Total Number of students = N(A)+N(B)+N(A \cup B)' =15 + 20 + 5 = 40

(As there is no student common in both the instruments we can simply add the three values to find the total number of students)

As per the venn diagram, no student plays both the instruments i.e.

N(A\cap B) =0

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{N(A\cap B)}{N(U)}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0}{40}\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B) = 0

So, <em>0</em> is the probability that a  randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass  instrument.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

White = 1.67 gallons

Blue = 0.33 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

White : blue = 3 : 1

Total ratio = 3 + 1

= 4

Gallons = 2

White = 3 /4 × 2

= 6 /4

= 3/2 gallons

Blue = 1 / 4 × 2

= 2/4

= 1/2

If he later decide to dilute the color to a ratio of 5:1

Total ratio = 5 + 1

= 6

Total gallons = 2

White = 5 / 6 × 2

= 10/6

= 5/3 gallons

Or

= 1.67 gallons

Blue = 1 / 6 × 2

= 2 / 6

= 1/3 gallons

Or

= 0.33 gallons
