Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 25 students. 3 don't study art or biology. 10 study only biology. 6 study both art and biology. This means the remaining students only study art.

1. Calculate the number of students taking art

only art: 25 - 3 - 6 - 10 = 6

number of students taking art and biology: 6

total number of students taking art: 12

2. Calculate the probability

Out of the 12 total students taking art, 6 are in art and biology.

6/12 = 1/2

How do you Use Trigonometry to find length
Ivan

Right Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2 , can be used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.

The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure).

Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.

and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.

now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.

now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.

so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.

and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Andrew's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}+\stackrel{\textit{Bailey's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{b}}=\stackrel{\textit{1 day of work}}{\cfrac{1}{7}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a}=\cfrac{1}{7}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{let's multiply all by }\stackrel{LCD}{42a}\textit{ to toss the}\\
denominators
\end{array}

\bf 42a\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a} \right)=42a\left( \cfrac{1}{7} \right)\implies 42+7=6a\implies \cfrac{49}{6}=a
\\\\\\
\stackrel{days}{8\frac{1}{6}}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{how many days will it take Bailey then?}\quad b=6a
\\\\\\
b=6\cdot \cfrac{49}{6}\implies b=\stackrel{days}{49}

In a statistics class there are 18 juniors and 10 seniors; 6 of the seniors are females and 12 of the juniors are males. If a st
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

P(a junior or a senior)=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the probability is given by:

P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}

Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.

In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.

N=18+10=28

The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)

Therefore:

P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)

Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.

n(a junior)=18

n(a senior)=10

P(a junior)=18/28

P(a senior) = 10/28

P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28

Solving the sum of the fractions:

P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1
