Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

60 % wear neither ring nor a necklace

20 % wear a ring

30 % wear necklace

This question can be Solved by using Venn diagram

If one person is choosen randomly  among the given student the probability that this student is wearing a ring or necklace is

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or \ necklace )+P\left ( neither\ ring\ or\ necklace)=1

P\left ( wear \ ring\ or\ necklace )=1-0.6=0.4

The sum of probabilty is equal to 1 because it completes the set

Therefore the required probabilty is 0.4

astraxan [27]

Answer:

a. 78.6 square feet

b. $7.86

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This simply asks us to calculate the area of the 10 feet diameter pool

Formula for area of circle is ;

pi * r^2 = pi * d^2/4

so Area = 22/7 * 10^2/4 = 78.60 square feet

b. This will be the area of the blanket multiplied by the price per square foot of the blanket

Mathematically, we have that as;

78.60 * 0.1 = $7.86
