Answer:

a) 0.70

b) 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let M be the event that student get merit scholarship and A be the event that student get athletic scholarship.

P(M)=0.3

P(A)=0.6

P(M∩A)=0.08

P(not getting merit scholarships)=P(M')=?

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-P(M)

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-0.3

P(not getting merit scholarships)=0.7

The probability that student not get the merit scholarship is 70%.

b)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M or A)=P(M∪A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M)+P(A)-P(M∩A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.3+0.6-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.9-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.82

The probability that student gets at least one of two scholarships is 82%.

HELP ASAP!!! I SUCK AT MATH AND I DON’T understand this!!!
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Part A:

\frac{13}{20}

Part B:

\frac{1}{39}

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of candies is 40.

10 + 14 + 4 + 12 = 40

14 are Butterfinger and 12 are Crunch.

14 + 12 = 26

\frac{26}{40}

\frac{26}{40}=\frac{26/2}{40/2}=\frac{13}{20}

\frac{10}{40} =\frac{10/10}{40/10} =\frac{1}{4}

40 - 1 = 39

\frac{4}{39}

\frac{1}{4} × \frac{4}{39}

\frac{1}{39}
