All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be

Aneli [31]

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

In which

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B)$

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.65$

78% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that $B = 0.78$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.78 = b + 0.65$

$b = 0.13$

85% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that $A = 0.85$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.85 = a + 0.65$

$a = 0.20$

Proficient in at least one:

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.20 + 0.13 + 0.65 = 0.98$

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

$C = 1 - (A \cup B) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02$

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

g On any day, the probability of rain is 0.3. The occurrence of rain on any day is independent of the occurrence of rain on any

Ksju [112]

Answer:

0.249579

Step-by-step explanation:

P(rain) = 0.3

P(no rain) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

The event of rain falling a second time within the next 5 days is possible in these ways

1. Rain on days 1 and 2

2. Rain on days 1 and 3; none on day 2

3. Rain on days 1 and 4; none on days 2 and 3

4. Rain on days 1 and 5; none on days 2, 3 and 4

5. Rain on days 1 and 6; none on day 2, 3, 4 and 5

$P(\text{second rain within 5 days}) = 0.3^2+0.3^2\times0.7+0.3^2\times0.7^2+0.3^2\times0.7^3+0.3^2\times0.7^4 = 0.3^2(1+0.7+0.7^2+0.7^3+0.7^4)= 0.09\times2.7731=0.249579$

What is the sum of adding two opposites together? *

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

I'm guessing the opposites are negative and positive so whenever you add two opposite numbers it will always be 0. The answer will always be 0.

For example:

-3 + 3 = 0

4 - 4 = 0

-15 + 15
