Naddik [55]2 years ago

Answer: There are 135 candidates.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that:

52 offer biology

60 offers history

96 offers maths

21 offered both biology and history

22 offered maths and biology

16 offered maths and history

if 7 candidates offered all the subject.

We want to find the total number of candidates.

We start by adding the numbers for each particular exam:

(52 + 60 + 96)

Now, there are 21 that offered both biology and history, then these 21 are counted in the 52 for biology and in the 60 for history, then we need to subtract 21 (because we are counting it two times)

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21

The same happens for the 22 that offered maths and biology, and 16 that offered maths and history, then we get:

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16

And there are another 7 that offered for the 3 subjects, then we are counting these 7 ones 3 times, this means that we need to subtract 7 two times.

then we get:

(52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16 - 7 - 7

This is the total number of candidates, if we solve the equation we get:

candidates = (52 + 60 + 96) - 21 - 22 - 16 - 7 - 7 = 135

So we can conclude that there are 135 candidates.

What is the radian measure of the smallest angle formed by the hands of a clock at 7 o'clock?
netineya [11]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem
we know that
a full circle is a 360 degrees
divided in 12 equals parts-------> 360/12-------> 30 degrees each part

<span>the smallest angle formed by the hands of a clock at 7 o'clock has 5 parts
so
5*30</span>°------> 150°

convert to radian
pi radians---------> 180°
 x ---------------> 150°
x=150*pi/180--------> x=0.83*pi radians

the answer is
0.83*pi radians  or 2.62 radians

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The question has a missing part and here it the complete question:

Imagine each letter of the word “Mathematical” is written on individual pieces of paper and placed in a bag. Should you pick a random letter from that bag, what is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Answer: 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of picking a vowel.

From the word 'Mathematical', we have a total of 12 letters and a total of 5 vowels (a,e,a,i,a).

Probability of picking a vowel = Total number of times the event(vowel) occurs/total number of possible outcomes(total letters)

Probability = \frac{5}{12}
