Answer:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is  \frac{23}{30} or 0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in the class = 30

Number of students who plays basket ball = 19

Number of students who plays base ball = 12

Number of students who plays base both the games = 8

To find:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball=?

Solution:

P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)---------------(1)

where

P(A) = Probability of choosing  a student playing basket ball

P(B) =  Probability of choosing  a student playing base ball

P(A \cap B) =  Probability of choosing  a student playing both the games

<u>Finding  P(A)</u>

P(A) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing basket ball }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(A) = \frac{19}{30}--------------------------(2)

<u>Finding  P(B)</u>

P(B) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing baseball }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(B) = \frac{12}{30}---------------------------(3)

<u>Finding P(A \cap B)</u>

P(A) = \frac{\text { Number of students playing both games }}{\text{Total number of students}}

P(A) = \frac{8}{30}-----------------------------(4)

Now substituting (2), (3) , (4) in (1), we get

P(A \cup B)= \frac{19}{30} + \frac{12}{30} -\frac{8}{30}

P(A \cup B)= \frac{31}{30} -\frac{8}{30}

P(A \cup B)= \frac{23}{30}

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

Y \sim P( \beta = 2)

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}

\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353  \times 1}{1}}

P(y =0) = 0.1353

What were some of the challenges pilgrims faced on their journey
EleoNora [17]

On the ocean Pilgrims encounter fierce storms, disease, and their ship falls into disrepair. During the first winter they lack shelter, warmth, and food.

The Pilgrims struggled to build homes, and many families crowded into the few homes that were built. Food was scarce, and many Pilgrims starved to death that first winter.

Hope this helped
