An elementary school is offering 3 language classes: one in Spanish, one in French,and one in German. The classes are open to an

y of the 100 students in the school.There are 28 students in the Spanish class, 26 in the French class, and 16 in theGerman class. There are 12 students that are in both Spanish and French, 4 thatare in both Spanish and German, and 6 that are in both French and German. Inaddition, there are 2 students taking all 3 classes.
(a) If a student is chosen randomly, what is the probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes?(b) If a student is chosen randomly, what is the probability that he or she is taking exactly one language class?(c) If 2 students are chosen randomly, what is the probability that at least 1 is taking a language class?

Answer:

A. 0.5

B. 0.32

C. 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

There are

  • 28 students in the Spanish class,
  • 26 in the French class,
  • 16 in the German class,
  • 12 students that are in both Spanish and French,
  • 4 that are in both Spanish and German,
  • 6 that are in both French and German,
  • 2 students taking all 3 classes.

So,

  • 2 students taking all 3 classes,
  • 6 - 2 = 4 students are in French and German, bu are not in Spanish,
  • 4 - 2 = 2 students are in Spanish and German, but are not in French,
  • 12 - 2 = 10 students are in Spanish and French but are not in German,
  • 16 - 2 - 4 - 2 = 8 students are only in German,
  • 26 - 2 - 4 - 10 = 10 students are only in French,
  • 28 - 2 - 2 - 10 = 14 students are only in Spanish.

In total, there are

2 + 4 + 2 + 10 + 8 + 10 +14 = 50 students.

The classes are open to any of the 100 students in the school, so

100 - 50 = 50 students are not in any of the languages classes.

A. If a student is chosen randomly, the probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes is

\dfrac{50}{100} =0.5

B. If a student is chosen randomly,  the probability that he or she is taking exactly one language class is

\dfrac{8+10+14}{100}=0.32

C. If 2 students are chosen randomly,  the probability that both are not taking any language classes is

0.5\cdot 0.5=0.25

So,  the probability that at least 1 is taking a language class is

1-0.25=0.75

Answer:  a) 10!/7!

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The "quick" way of answering this is: 10 × 9 × 8 = 720

If you are using the formula then you get:

\dfrac{10!}{(10-3)!}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{10!}{7!}}\quad = 720

Let hh be the set of all points in the second quadrant in the plane v=ℝ2v=r2. that is, h={(x,y)∣x≤0,y≥0}h={(x,y)∣x≤0,y≥0}. is hh
BaLLatris [955]
No, H is not a subspace of V. A simple counter-example to the contrary: let h\in H with h=(-1,0). However, scaling by -1 gives the vector -h=(1,0) and -h\not\in H.

If Leo is 6 years old and Max is 12 years older, in how many years wil Max be 3 times older than Leo?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

in 36 years

Step-by-step explanation:

in 36 years, Max will be 54 YEARS OLD and Leo will be 18 YEARS OLD.

54÷18= 3

this means that when max is 54, he will be 3 times older than leo

it can also be when Leo is 6 and Max is 18 because:

18÷6=3 means max is already 3 times older than leo

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points A(-2, -1) and D(3,5) ?
Rasek [7]

Answer:  y = 1.2x + 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write down the coordinates of the first point. Let's assume it is a point with x₁ = -2and y₁ = -1.

2. Write down the coordinates of the second point as well. Let's take a point with x₂ = 3 and y₂ = 5.

3. Use the slope intercept formula to find the slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (5-1)/(3-2) = 4/1 = 1.2

4. Calculate the y-intercept. You can also use x₂ and y₂ instead of x₁ and y₁ here.

b = y₁ - m * x₁ = -1 - 1.2*-2 = 1.4

5. Put all these values together to construct the slope intercept form of a linear equation:

y = 1.2x + 1.4
