. In a high school graduating class of 100 students, 47 studied mathematics, 61 studied physics, and 25 studied both mathematics

and physics. If one of these students is selected at random, find the probability that (a) the student took mathematics or physics. (b) the student did not take either of these subjects. (c) the student took physics but not mathematics. Are studying mathematics and physics mutually exclusive events? Why or why not?

Answer:

given,

Probability of student studying math P(M)=\dfrac{45}{100} = 0.45

Probability of student studying physicsP(P) = \dfrac{61}{100} = 0.61

Probability of student studying both math and physics together P(M∩P) = \dfrac{25}{100} = 0.25

a) student took mathematics or physics

P(M∪P) = P(M) + P(P) - P(M∩P)

             = 0.45 + 0.61  - 0.25

             = 0.81

b) student did not take either of the subject

P((M∪P)') = 1 - 0.81

               = 0.19

c) Student take physics but not mathematics

P(P∩M') = P(P) - P(P∩M)

             = 0.61 - 0.25

             = 0.36

studying physics and mathematics is  not mutually exclusive because we can study both the subjects.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration: 9800 ft/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the space probe in this problem, we have:

u = 100 ft/s (initial velocity)

v = 5000 ft/s (final velocity)

t = 0.5 s (time taken)

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{5000-100}{0.5}=9800 ft/s^2

kompoz [17]

Joseph Priestley was born in Yorkshire, the eldest son of a maker of wool cloth. His mother died after bearing six children in six years. Young Joseph was sent to live with his aunt, Sarah Priestley Keighley, until the age of 19. She often entertained Presbyterian clergy at her home, and Joseph gradually came to prefer their doctrines to the grimmer Calvinism of his father. Before long, he was encouraged to study for the ministry. And study, as it turned out, was something Joseph Priestley did very well.

Aside from what he learned in the local schools, he taught himself Latin, Greek, French, Italian, German and a smattering of Middle Eastern languages, along with mathematics and philosophy. This preparation would have been ideal for study at Oxford or Cambridge, but as a Dissenter (someone who was not a member of the Church of England) Priestley was barred from England's great universities. So he enrolled at Daventry Academy, a celebrated school for Dissenters, and was exempted from a year of classes because of his achievements.

After graduation, he supported himself, as he would for the rest of his life, by teaching, tutoring and preaching. His first full-time teaching position was at the Dissenting Academy in Warrington. (Although obviously brilliant, original, outspoken and, by one report, of "a gay and airy disposition," Priestley had an unpleasant voice and a sort of stammer. That he made a living through lectures and sermons is further evidence of his extraordinary nature.)

You have 2 resistors of unknown values you label Ra and Rb. You have an old battery and a multimeter you bought years ago for 7$
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

the answers, the correct one is D,   Rb₂ = 29.97 ohm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use ohm's law and the equivalent resistance ratio for series and parallel circuits.

Serial circuit

         (Ra + Rb) is = V

         (Ra + Rb) 0.111 = 10

         (Ra + Rb) = 10 / 0.111 = 90.09

parallel circuit

         \frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{Ra} + \frac{1}{Rb}

           R = \frac{Ra \ Rb}{Ra + Rb}

          \frac{Ra \ Rb}{Ra + Rb} i_p = V

         \frac{Ra \ Rb}{Ra + Rb} 0.5 = 10

         \frac{Ra \ Rb}{Ra + Rb} = 10 / 0.5 = 20

we write and solve our system of equations

         Ra + Rb = 90.09

         \frac{Ra \ Rb}{Ra + Rb} = 20

         

we solve for Ra in the first equation

          Ra = 90.09 - Rb

           RaRb = 20 (Ra + Rb)

we substitute Ra in the second equation

           (90.09-Rb) Rb = 20 [(90.09-Rb) + Rb]

            90.09 Rb - Rb² = 20 90.09

           

            Rb² - 90.09 Rb + 1801.8 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

            Rb = [90.09 ±\sqrt{90.09^2 - 4 \ 1801.8} ] / 2

            Rb = [90.09 ± 30.15] / 2

            Rb₁ = 60.12 ohm

            Rb₂ = 29.97 ohm

the smallest value is Rb = 30 ohm

When checking the answers, the correct one is D
