Answer:

The number of girls are 90 girls

The number of boys are 125 boys

The number of adults are 20 adults

There are 90 girls, 125 boys and 20 adults at the camp

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people is given as 235 people

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70

Let the total number of girls = G

Therefore, we have;

The number of boys = 35 + G

The number of adults = G - 70

The total number of persons = The number of boys + The number of adults  +  The number of girls

Therefore;

235 = The number of boys + The number of adults  +  The number of girls

Which gives;

235 = 35 + G + G - 70 + G = 3·G - 35

235 = 3·G - 35

3·G - 35 = 235

3·G = 235 + 35  = 270

G = 270/3 = 90

The number of girls = 90

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls = 35 + 90 = 125

The number of boys =  125

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70 = 90 - 70 = 20

The number of adults = 20.

All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be
Aneli [31]

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and A \cap B is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

(A \cup B) + C = 1

In which

(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B)

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that A \cap B = 0.65

78% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that B = 0.78

B = b + (A \cap B)

0.78 = b + 0.65

b = 0.13

85% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that A = 0.85

A = a + (A \cap B)

0.85 = a + 0.65

a = 0.20

Proficient in at least one:

(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.20 + 0.13 + 0.65 = 0.98

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

(A \cup B) + C = 1

C = 1 - (A \cup B) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The large container holds 6 cups of water

On his drive from Montpelier, Vermont, to Columbia, South Carolina, Arthur averaged 51 mph. If he had been able to average 60 mp
Llana [10]

Answer:

Distance between Montpelier and Columbia is 1020

Step-by-step explanation:

51 mi/hr average:

d = 51 t  

60 mi/hr average:

d t = 60*(t-3)

Substitute (1) into (2)  

   51 t =  60*(t-3)

   51 t =  60 t + 180

   9 t  =  180

   t    =   20

d = 51 t

   = 51 (20)

   = 1020

let see distance is 1020 lets check

51 t = 60 * (t-3)

51 (20)= 60* (20-3)

1020   = 60*17

1020 = 1020
