ected at random, find the probability of the following. (See Example 5. Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) The student is enrolled in mathematics. (b) The student is enrolled in English. (c) The student is enrolled in both. (d) The student is enrolled in mathematics or English. (e) The student is enrolled in English but not in mathematics. (f) The student is not enrolled in English or is enrolled in mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Of 450 college students, 110 are enrolled in math, 205 are enrolled in English, and 50 are enrolled in both. If a student is selected at random

the probability

(a) The student is enrolled in mathematics= $\frac{110}{450} =0.244\\$

(b) The student is enrolled in English.= $\frac{205}{450} =0.456\\$

(c) The student is enrolled in both.= $\frac{50}{450} =0.111\\$

(d) The student is enrolled in mathematics or English.= $\frac{110+205-50}{450} =0.589\\$

(e) The student is enrolled in English but not in mathematics.

= $\frac{205-50}{450} =0.344\\$

(f) The student is not enrolled in English or is enrolled in mathematics.

= $\frac{450-205+110}{450} =0.7889\\$

a particular submarine is 12 m long. A model of it was built with a scale of 1 cm: 3 m. How long is the model? Show all work.

slamgirl [31]

1cm : 3m

to get from 12m to 3m you have to divide by 4, so if:

3 x 4 = 12

then you do the same to the 1cm and you get:

1 x 4 = 4

Therefore:

1cm : 3m
4cm : 12cm

the model is 4cm

Find the amount erica owes at the end of 6 years if $60000 is loaned to her at a rate of 4% compounded monthly

RSB [31]

Answer: $76,244.51

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the compound interest formula here.

First of all however, you need to convert the terms to monthly figures because the interest is compounded monthly.

4% in months = 4 / 12 = 4/12%

6 years = 6 * 12 = 72 months

Now use the compound interest formula:

= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

= 60,000 * ( 1 + 4/12%) ⁷²

= $76,244.51

I need answer Immediately pls!!!!!!

Illusion [34]

Given:

Total number of students = 27

Students who play basketball = 7

Student who play baseball = 18

Students who play neither sports = 7

To find:

The probability the student chosen at randomly from the class plays both basketball and base ball.

Solution:

Let the following events,

A : Student plays basketball

B : Student plays baseball

U : Union set or all students.

Then according to given information,

$n(U)=27$

$n(A)=7$

$n(B)=18$

$n(A'\cap B')=7$

We know that,

$n(A\cup B)=n(U)-n(A'\cap B')$

$n(A\cup B)=27-7$

$n(A\cup B)=20$

Now,

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)$

$20=7+18-n(A\cap B)$

$n(A\cap B)=7+18-20$

$n(A\cap B)=25-20$

$n(A\cap B)=5$

It means, the number of students who play both sports is 5.

The probability the student chosen at randomly from the class plays both basketball and base ball is

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Number of students who play both sports}}{\text{Total number of students}}$

$\text{Probability}=\dfrac{5}{27}$

Therefore, the required probability is $\dfrac{5}{27}$ .

Emily folded a paper circle into 2 equal parts. What is the angle measure of each part?

timama [110]

The diameter splits the circle into 2 equal halves by going through the midpoint of the circle. The two halves are called semicircles.
