Answer:

There is an 88% probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

E is the probability that a course has final exam.

P is the probability that a course requires research paper.

We have that:

E = e + (E \cap P)

In which e is the probability that a course has final exam but does not require research paper and E \cap P is the probability that a course has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

P = p + (E \cap P)

(a) Find the probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.

This is

Pr = e + p + (E \cap P)

Suppose that 26% of courses have a research paper and a final exam.

This means that

E \cap P = 0.26

43% of courses require research papers.

So P = 0.43

P = p + (E \cap P)

0.43 = p + 0.26

p = 0.17

71% of courses have final exams

So E = 0.71

E = e + (E \cap P)

0.71 = e + 0.26

e = 0.45

The probability is

Pr = e + p + (E \cap P) = 0.45 + 0.17 + 0.26 = 0.88

There is an 88% probability that a course has a final exam or a research paper.

A decimal is considered as
dalvyx [7]
<h3>Answer:  B) real number</h3>

Explanation:

Something like 3.5 = 7/2 is a rational number because its a fraction of two integers.

While on the other hand, the constant pi = 3.14159... is irrational because we cannot write pi as a fraction of two integers. We can get approximations like 22/7, but not a perfect exact match.

Both types of numbers, rational and irrational, are under the umbrella of the real number system. Any real number is a string of decimal digits. Sometimes it might be a whole number, but fractional values can be included as well. The decimal number may terminate, or it may repeat, or it may go on forever without a pattern.

In short, any number you can think of is a real number assuming your teacher hasn't covered complex numbers (or imaginary numbers) just yet.
