Answer:

The probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a student is taking math =P(M)=33% =0.33

The probability that a student is taking computer science =P(C)= 62%=0.62

The probability that a student is taking math and computer science =P(M∩C)= 58%=0.58

So, the probability that a student is taking math or computer science i.e.P(M∪C)

So, Formula:P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

P(M∪C)=P(M)+P(C)-P(M∩C)

P(M∪C)=0.33+0.62-0.58

P(M∪C)=0.37

Hence the probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

Solve for z<br> 4/z =<br> 12/5 <br> what is z
Verdich [7]

Answer:

5/3      = z

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use proportions to figure this out.

Imma solve this as I work through it.

So

4/z is equal to 12/5. So you can do something called the butterfly method (I have never used this before, but it works tho) and the method involves only multiplication and division.

Lemme clean this up for ya

The butterfly method involves multiplying in a cross format on both sides, so the

4                       12

__        =      ______

z                          5

becomes 4 times 5, and z times 12.

4 times 5 is 20, and z times 12 is 12z

so you now have 20 = 12z

Lets simplify the equation by dividing by 4s

20 divided by 4 is 5 and 12z divided by 4 is 3z

so

5 = 3z

You can divide again

by dividing both sides

by

3

to get the unit rate of z.

It will be a fraction though

and it won't look pretty

but here it is:

5

__  = z

3

So

It is

5/3

Hope this helps

and hope you get a laugh out of this
