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 merchant sold a pen for $6.90 ,thereby making a profit of 15% on her cost calculate the cost of the pen to the merchant to the
NeTakaya
So you know the merchant made a 15% profit on the pen, so she bought it for a cheaper price. To find the cost of the pen before you have to take the price now, $6.90 and times it by 85%. You do 85% because you subtract the 15% she saved from 100% and you get 85%. So 6.90x.85= 5.865 which rounds to $5.87
