60 are in choir and band, which leaves 50 (110 - 60) in choir and not band, and 180 (240 - 60) in band and not choir, and the remaining 220 (450 - 50 - 180) students don't belong to either. So

P(\text{choir OR band})=P(\text{choir})+P(\text{band})-P(\text{choir AND band})

=\dfrac{50}{450}+\dfrac{180}{450}-\dfrac{60}{450}=\dfrac{170}{450}\approx0.38

If instead "110 of them are in choir" means 110 students are in choir and NOT in band, and "240 of them are in bad" means 240 students are in band and NOT choir, then

P(\text{choir OR band})=\dfrac{110}{450}+\dfrac{240}{450}-\dfrac{60}{450}=0.64

A bag contains 8 black beads and 4 white beads. If 2 beads are drawn at random, what is the probability that both beads are blac
maria [59]

Answer:

14/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of beads is 8+4 = 12.  8 of these are black beads, so that is what we want, so 8/12 or 2/3.  For the second one, one black bead is already taken so 8-1 = 7 are left and for the total 12 - 1 = 11 are left, so 7/11.  Multiply this by 2/3 and we get 14/33.
