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%.

The number of visitors to a park is expected to follow the function v(x) = 8(x − 1), where x is the number of days since opening
mina [271]
You have the function v(x) = 8(x − 1), where x <span>is the number of days since opening.

 </span><span>On the first day, there will be a ceremony with 32 people in attendance.

 Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, the </span><span>function that shows total visitors, including the ceremony is:

 f(x)=8(x-1)+32

 So, as you can see, the answer is: 
</span>
 f(x)=8(x-1)+32
