Answer:

  • <u>17/28</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Call A the event of selecting a student who takes Spanish and P(A) the corresponding probability:</u>

  • P(A) = number of students who take Spanish / number of students

  • P(A) = 550 / 1400 = 11/28

<u>2. Call B the event of selecting a student who takes biology and P(B) the corresponding probability:</u>

  • P(B) = number of students who take biology / number of students

  • P(B) = 700 / 1,400 = 1/2

<u></u>

<u>3. The joint probability, P(A∩B), is the probability that a student takes Spanish and biology:</u>

  • P(A∩B) = number of students that take both Spanish and biology / number of students

  • P(A∩B) = 400/1400 = 2/7

<u>4. By the properties of probabilities, the probability of the event A or B is:</u>

  • P (A or B) = P (A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

  • P(A or B) = 11/28 + 1/2 - 2/7 = (11 + 14 - 8) / 28 = 17/28

A certain backpack costs $22, and there is 4% sales tax. What is one way to determine what the amount of sales tax will be? Sele
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

cost per 1% = 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22

⇒ cost of 4% = 4 x 0.22 = 0.88

Or

4% = 4/100 = 0.04

⇒ 4% of 22 = 0.04 x 22 = 0.88

Perry divided up some candy to give equally to his six friends if c represents the total amount write an expression to represent
Delicious77 [7]
Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.

I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.

Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.

Hope this helps!

so he can divide the glass into 2 sevings which is 30/2=15 ml in each

servings    ml         fraction
2              15            15/30=1/2
3              10              10/30=1/3
5                6             6/30=1/5
6              5                5/30=1/6
10               3              3/30=1/10
