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

A small town currently has a population of 15,000. Each year the population decreases by 2.25%. What will the population be in 8
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: 12,503 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential decrease so to find the population in 8 years you have to use a future value formula:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 15,000 ( 1 + (-2.25%)) ⁸

= 15,000 * (1 - 2.25%)⁸

= 12,503.32

= 12,503 people

Marty and Stewart are stuffing envelopes with index cards. They are putting index cards in each envelope. When they are finished
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The required expression is s = m + n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be the number of index cards stuffed in the envelopes and n be the number of extra index cards.

Let s be the total number of index cards.

Then, s = m + n represents the number of index cards the boys started with.

For Marty,

He has 15 stuffed envelopes and 4 extra index cards.

So, m = 15, n = 4

Therefore, s = 15 + 4 = 19

Marty started with 19 cards.

For Stewart,

He has 12 stuffed envelopes and 6 extra index cards.

So, m = 12, n = 6

Therefore, s = 12 + 6 = 18

Steward started with 18 cards.
