Answer:

Option 3 - 51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a class of 160 students, 90 are taking math, 78 are taking science, and 62 are taking both math and science.

To find : What is the probability of randomly choosing a student who is not taking science?

Solution :

We can show this situation through Venn diagram,

Refer the attached figure below.

Take the Blue circle as the students taking math and Red circle as the student taking science.

Total number of student = 160

Let M be the student taking math M=90

S be the student taking math S=78

M\cap S=B=62

The student only take math is 90-62=28=P

The student only take science is 78-62=16=Q

Total students cover the circle is  28+62+16 = 106

Remaining students who are not in either two circles is 160-106=54

The remaining students and student taking math only is 28+54=82

So, 82 students are those who are not taking science.

The probability of student who is not taking science is

P=\frac{82}{160}=\frac{41}{80}=0.51

In percentage, 0.51=51%.

Therefore, Option 3 is correct.

The probability of student who is not taking science is 51%.

IRISSAK [1]
1 hour = 60 minutes

Tuesday: 60 divided by 4 = 15. Karen did it 3/4 of a hour so we multiply 15 by 4 which is 45. 45 equals 45 minutes. On Tuesday, Karen finished her chores in 45 minutes

Wednesday: first we divide 60 by 12 which is 5. 5 would equal 5 minutes. now we multiply 5 by 5 which is 25. Karen finished her chores in 25 minutes.

Answer: Karen finished her chores 20 minutes faster on Wednesday than Tuesday.

Trey deposited 20% of his paycheck in the bank. if he deposited $30 how much was his paycheck
Komok [63]

Answer: 150

Step-by-step explanation: so when you want a whole amount of something you want to the 100% of it because 100% is the whole thing right? Well right now you only have 20% so how much do you need to multiply that by to get 100%?? Well that answer is 5. Okay so now since $30 is 20% but we wanna get it to 100% multiply it by 5 so 30x5 which is 150

Three Friends all have ages that are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 48. What is the age of the oldest friend?
Reptile [31]
Consecutive integers = in this situation double-digit whole numbers So as there are 3 of them let's say 2 are 11 because that would be the highest consecutive number so 11+11= 22 and 48-22=26 so the three have the ages of 11,11,26 and the oldest would be 26 ;)
