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%.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 = 3x + 18            {Vertically opposite angles}

∠1  + 28° = 90

3x + 18 + 28 = 90

3x + 46 = 90

3x = 90 - 46

3x = 44

x = 44/3

x = 14 \dfrac{2}{3}

1. For the function f(x) = 5, determine each of the following values.
Bess [88]

Answer:

f(4) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5.

Whatever value of x you input to the function , the function's value is always 5.

This is seen when you examine the graph of f(x) = 5. It is a straight horizontal line passing through y = 5. For every value of x along the line, f(x) = y = 5.
