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

The sum of two numbers is 54. The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
igomit [66]

Answer:

The larger number is 37.  This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

 

The first step is to pick variables for the two numbers.  Lets call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

Since the sum of the two numbers is 56, this means that x + y = 56.  Let's call this equation 1 and save it for later.

 

The next sentence says:

The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number.  So, 18 less than the larger number would be y - 18.  So, the smaller number must be equal to this, so

 

x = y - 18

 

Replace the x in equation 1 with y - 18

 

x + y = 56

(y-18) + y = 56   (replace x with y-18)

2y - 18 = 56        (add the y's)

2y = 74               (add 18 to both sides)

y = 37                 (divide both sides by 2)

 

So, the larger number is 37.  This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.

 

Hope this helps!!  :)
