Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is <u>0.65</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. A complete is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A physics class has 40 students. Of these, 14 students are physics majors and 18 students are female. Of the physics majors, six are female. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major. The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is_______.

The Step-by-step explanation is therefore provided now as follows:

The probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major can be calculated using the following formula:

P(PM or F) = P(PM) + P(F) - P(PMF)

Where;

P(PM or F) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major or Female = ?

P(PM) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major = Number of Physics Major / Total number of students in the Physics class = 14 / 40 = 0.35

P(F) = Probability of student selected is Female = Number of female students in the Physics class / Total number students in the Physics class = 18 / 40 = 0.45

P(PMF) = Probability of student selected is Physics Major and Female = Number Physics Major that female in the Physics class / Total number students in the Physics class = 6 / 40 = 0.15

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

P(PM or F) = 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.15 = 0.65

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student is female or a physics major is <u>0.65</u>.

The cross-sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The triangular prism has a height of 5 units
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

  The volume of the prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

For each solid figure, the volume formula is ...

  V = Bh

where B is the cross-sectional area and h is the height. The problem statement tells us B and h have the same values for both figures. Hence their volumes are the same.

City A is 10 miles from city B and 5 miles from city C. Cities A, B, and C form a right triangle at A. A road connects cities B
laila [671]

Answer:

11.18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a right triangle a, b, c are related by the equation

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

where c is the longest side of the triangle

Hence given that A connects B and C directly and forms a right angle at A

5^2 + 10^2 = c^2

Where c is the length of the road

25 + 100 = c^2

125 = c^2

c = 125^1/2

= 11.18 miles
