Answer:
Ten Peaches and five bananas.
Step-by-step explanation
To solve the problem increase the cost by adding more peaches and less by adding more bananas
7 peaches = 3.50
8 bananas = 3.20 + 3.50 = 6.70
We need 30 more cents so add three more peaches
10 peaches = 5
5 x 0.4 = 2
2 + 5 = 7
A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
Answer:
3 students are eating lunches other than salads and sandwiches.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you know that there are 18 students in the cafeteria and 1/6 of them are eating salads and 2/3 are eating sandwiches right? So you would have to think about what 1/6 of 18 is so you know how many students are eating salads, and 1/6 of 18 is 3 so there are 3 students eating salads. Now, you have to find out how many students are eating sandwiches, so you need to know what 2/3 of 18 is. 2/3 of 18 is 12 so now you also know that there are 12 students eating sandwiches. Next, you have to add 12 and 3 and you get 15. Since you know that there are 18 students in the cafeteria, you have to subtract 18 by 15, and you should get 3. So 3 students are eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches.
Hope this helps you! :D
