Answer:

We do not have the total number of students or volunteers.

I will put variables (and then random numbers) and solve it, then you can put the numbers that you need in the equations.

Suppose that the class has Y students, and X of these students have volunteered.

The probability of picking at random a student that has volunteered is equal to the number of students that had volunteered divided by the total amount of students:

p1 = X/Y

now, we must choose another student, but now the volunteers are X - 1, and the total number of students is also Y - 1 (because we already took one student)

now, the probability of selecting other will be:

p2 = (X- 1)/(Y - 1)

Then, the joint probability of both events is equal to the product of both probabilities:

P = p1*p2 = (X/Y)*((X-1)/(Y -1))

Suppose that there are 20 students, and 10 students that have volunteered, then the equations are:

P = (10/20)*(9/19) = 0.237

Is the simplified form of 2-3 + 3.3 rational?<br> Yes<br> No
N76 [4]

Answer:

YES IT IS

Step-by-step explanation:

2-3 + 3.3

= -1 + 3.3

= -4.3

We learn that:

Rational number: rational number is the number that can be written as a/b (a and b would be intergers and b is not equal to 0). Rational number would be most of numbers we use in out life, except Square root and Pi number.

In this case, -4.3 can be write as -43/10

So YES it would be a rational number

Hope this helped :3
