An elementary school is offering 2 language classes: one in Spanish (S) and one in French (F). Given that P(S) = 50%, P(F) = 40%

, P(S ∪ F) = 70%, find the probability that a randomly selected student (a) is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French; (b) is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish. 2. A pair of fair dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears.

Answer:

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French = 0.5 .

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish = 0.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an elementary school is offering 2 language classes ;

 <em>Spanish Language is denoted by S and French language is denoted by F.</em>

Also we are given, P(S) = 0.5 {Probability of students taking Spanish language}

P(F) = 0.4 {Probability of students taking French language}

P(S\bigcup F) = 0.7 {Probability of students taking Spanish or French Language}

<em>We know that,  </em>P(A\bigcup B)<em>  = </em>P(A) + P(B) -<em> </em>P(A\bigcap B)<em />

So, P(S\bigcap F) = P(S) + P(F) - P(S\bigcup F) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.7 = 0.2

P(S\bigcap F) means Probability of students taking  both Spanish and French Language.

Also, P(S)' = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

         P(F)' = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

        P(S'\bigcap F') = 1 -  P(S\bigcup F) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French is given by P(S/F);

  P(S/F) = \frac{P(S\bigcap F)}{P(F)} = \frac{0.2}{0.4} = 0.5

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish is given by P(F'/S');

   P(F'/S') = \frac{P(S'\bigcap F')}{P(S')} = \frac{1- P(S\bigcup F)}{1-P(S)} = \frac{0.3}{0.5} = 0.6 .

Note: 2. A pair of fair dice is rolled until a sum of either 5 or 7 appears  ; This question is incomplete please provide with complete detail.

In Exercises 17-20, find the value of x so that the function has the given value. 17. f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) = 17
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

17.) x = 3

18.) x = -5

I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.

17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17

    17 = 8x -7  ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides

    24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides

    x = 3

18.)    g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27

           27  = -4x + 7  substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides

           20 = -4x

            x = -5

Choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form.
Gennadij [26K]

We are required to choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form

The fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form is 19/38 and 10/18

1. 21 / 34 is in its simplest form

factors of 21 = 1, 7 and 21

factors of 34 = 1, 2, 17 and 34

No common factor of 21 and 34 except 1

2. 15/16

factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16

No common factor of 15 and 16 except 1

3. 19/38

factors of 19 = 1, 19

factors of 38 = 1, 2, 19 and 38

divide both numerator and denominator by 19

So,

19 / 38 = 1/2

4. 10/18

factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5 and 10

factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18

So,

10/18

divide both numerator and denominator by 2

= 5/9
