Answer:

The probability of choosing mathematics =P(M)=\frac{3}{4}

The probability that he chooses either art or French=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a student must choose exactly two out of three elective  subjects : art ,french and mathematics.

The probability of choosing art=\frac{5}{8}

The  probability of choosing french =\frac{5}{8}

The probability of choosing French and art=\frac{1}{4}

Let A ,F and M denotes the students of art,french and mathematics.

P(A)=P(A\cap M)+P(A\cap F)

P(A\cap F)+P(A\cap M)=\frac{5}{8}

P(F\cap M)+P(F\cap A)=P(F)=\frac{5}{8}

Probability of choosing mathematics only=0

Probability of choosing French only =0

Probability of choosing art only =0

Probability of choosing all three subjects =0

P(M)=P(M\cap A)+P(M\cap F)

P(A\cap F)=\frac{1}{4}

Substitute the value then we get

P(A\cap M)=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}==\frac{3}{8}

P(F\cap M)=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{8}

Therefore,P(M)=P(A\cap M)+P(F\cap M)=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

Hence, the probability of choosing mathematics =P(M)=\frac{3}{4}

P(A\cup F)=P(A)+P(F)-P(A\cap F)

P(A\cup F)=\frac{5}{8}+\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}

P(A\cup F)=\frac{5+5-2}{8}=1

Hence, the probability that he chooses either art or French=1

You can buy 20 fluid ounces of shampoo for $4.40 or 24 fluid ounces for $4.80. Which is the better buy? Explain.
lidiya [134]
First you have to do 440 / 20, which is 22 cents per bottle
Next you have to do 480 / 24, which is 20 cents per bottle
20 < 22, so the 24 ounces of shampoo is the correct answer.
