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%.

I really need help, someone please help me
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

18.84 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a circle is πr^2.

πr^2 = 28.26

3.14 * r^2 = 28.26

r^2 = 9

r = plus or minus 3.

But since this deals with the area of a circle, there is no way a radius can be negative. So, the radius is 3 meters.

The formula for the circumference is 2πr.

2 * 3.14 * 3 = 6 * 3.14 = 18.84.

So, the circumference of the circle is 18.84 meters.

Hope this helps!
