Answer: Choice B
Events are not mutually exclusive
The probability of applicant meeting GPA requirement or they volunteer is 65%

===========================================================

Explanation:

For two events to be "mutually exclusive", it means that they cannot happen at the same time. An example is pulling a black diamond card. In a deck of cards, diamonds are red.

So the question is: "Is it possible to volunteer and meet the GPA requirements at the same time?"
The answer is "Yes, because 250 applicants have done so"

This means that the two events "volunteer" and "meet GPA requirements" are not mutually exclusive. This boils things down between choice A or choice B

Now onto calculating the probability
Let,
A = applicant volunteers
B = applicant meets GPA requirements

P(A) = 600/2000 = 0.300
P(B) = 950/2000 = 0.475
P(A and B) = 250/2000 = 0.125

Using those values, we can say....
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.300 + 0.475 - 0.125
P(A or B) = 0.65
P(A or B) = 65% which is part of the answer

We got 65% so that points to choice B as the final answer

Note: another way to find P(A or B) is to note how 250 meet both requirements so 950-250 = 700 meet the GPA hurdle only, 600-250 = 350 volunteer only, so 700+350+250 = 1300 either meet one requirement or both out of 2000. So 1300/2000 = 0.65 = 65%

Write and solve an equation to find the unknown angle.

Julli [10]

There's many properties you can use to find an unknown angle.

There are too many to lists but one core example would be an isosceles triangle that has two adjacent sides and angles.

Let's say that the sides of an isosceles triangle are any number "x"

now since two sides of the triangle are the same we can add these two x's together.

x+x = 2x

now the other side of the triangle can be anything you like. We can call it 4x for this example.

now if we add them all together we'll get 4x+2x=6x

Now since the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees
we can equate 6x=180 leaving x to be 30.

Now since x belongs to both sides of the triangle we can say that both angles are congruent as well because the two sides of the triangle are congruent. This is a known triangle law.

Since both angles are now 30 degrees this will leave us with 2(30) = 60

now if we subtract 180 - 60 we'll get 120 which is the remainder of the 3rd angle of the side that corresponds with 4x.

Consider three events A, B and C with following properties.

lisov135 [29]

By the inclusion/exclusion principle,

$\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A\cup B\cup C)$
$\mathbb P(D)=\mathbb P(A)+\mathbb P(B)+\mathbb P(C)-\bigg(\mathbb P(A\cap B)+\mathbb P(A\cap C)+\mathbb P(B\cap C)\bigg)+\mathbb P(A\cap B\cap C)$
$\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac14+\dfrac16+\dfrac14-\dfrac39+\dfrac1{13}$
$\mathbb P(D)=\dfrac{16}{39}\neq1$

So the union of A, B, and C does not constitute the entire sample space.
