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.

Pete borrowed $400 for 1 year. He paid back a total of $440. What was the interest rate per year?
OleMash [197]

I=PRT/100

1. Make R (rate) subject

R/100= I/PT

2. Substitute and calculate

r/100= i/pt

r/100= 40/400 × 1

(<em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em>from 440-400.<em>T</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em>t</em>)

r/100= 0.1

r/100×100= 0.1×100

r=10% (interest rate per year)

To confirm

I=PRT

I= 400×10/100×1

I= $40 (Interest)

The equation of a function is y = 10 – 9x.Find the value of x when
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

x = 2, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 10 - 9x is a linear equation and the value of either y or x can be found by substituting the given values of either y or x.

given that y = -8, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -8 = 10 - 9x

10 + 8 = 9x

9x = 18; dividing both sides by 9

x = 2

given that y = -26, and substituting this into equation y = 10 - 9x,

we have, -26 = 10 - 9x

10 + 26 = 9x

9x = 36; dividing both sides by 9

x = 4
