There would have been 3.25 or 3 1/4 pounds of candy eaten.
you would do 5 1/2 - 2 1/4 and get 3 1/4 .

1 1/4  lbs of the candy was eaten. 5 1/2 becomes the improper fraction 11/2 and 2 1/4 becomes the improper fraction 9/4. After subtraction, you get 13/4, or 1 1/4.

A line segment is defined by which of the following statements?
kaheart [24]

The only given option that correctly defines a line segment is;

<u><em>Option C; All points between and including two given points.</em></u>

      In geometry in mathematics, a line segment is defined as a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points.

Now, let us look at the options;

Option A; This is not correct because a line segment must have 2 distinct endpoints

Option B; This is not correct because a line segment is a part of a line and not a set of points.

Option C; This is correct because it tallies with our definition of line segment.

Option D; This is not correct because a line segment does not extend infinitely.

Consider randomly selecting a student at a certain university, and let A denote the event that the selected individual has a Vis
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Visa card is represented by P(A)

MasterCard is represented by P(B)

P(A)= 0.6

P(A')=0.4

P(B)=0.5

P(B')=0.5

P(A∩B)=0.35

1. P(A U B) =?

P(A U B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B)=0.6+0.5-0.35

P(A U B)= 0.75

The probability of student that has least one of the cards is 0.75

2. Probability of the neither of the student have the card is given as

P(A U B)'=1-P(A U B)

P(A U B)= 1-0.75

P(A U B)= 0.25

3. Probability of Visa card only,

P(A)= 0.6

P(A) only means students who has visa card but not MasterCard.

P(A) only= P(A) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A) only=0.6-0.35

P(A) only=0.25.

4. Compute the following

a. A ∩ B'

b. A ∪ B'

c. A' ∪ B'

d. A' ∩ B'

e. A' ∩ B

a. A ∩ B'

P(A∩ B') implies that the probability of A without B i.e probability of A only and it has been obtain in question 3.

P(A ∩ B')= P(A-B)=P(A)-P(A∩ B)

P(A∩ B')= 0.6-0.35

P(A∩ B')= 0.25

b. P(A ∪ B')

P(A ∪ B')= P(A)+P(B')-P(A ∩ B')

P(A ∪ B')= 0.6+0.5-0.25

P(A ∪ B')= 0.85

c. P(A' ∪ B')= P(A')+P(B')-P(A' ∩ B')

But using Demorgan theorem

P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')

P(A∩B)'=1-P(A∩B)

P(A∩B)'=1-0.35

P(A∩B)'=0.65

Then, P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')= 0.65

d. P( A' ∩ B' )

Using demorgan theorem

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')

P(A U B)'= 1-P(A U B)

P(A' ∩ B')= 1-0.75

P(A' ∩ B')= 0.25

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')=0.25

e. P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') commutative law

Then, P(B ∩ A') = P(B) only

P(B ∩ A') = P(B) -P(A ∩ B)

P(B ∩ A') =0.5 -0.35

P(B ∩ A') =0.15

P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') =0.15
