An elementary school is offering 3 language classes: one in Spanish, one inFrench, and one in German. The classes are open to an

y of the 100 students inthe school. There are 28 students in the Spanish class, 26 in the French class,and 16 in the German class. There are 12 students that are in both Spanish andFrench, 4 that are in both Spanish and German, and 6 that are in both Frenchand German. In addition, there are 2 students taking all 3 classes.(a) If a student is chosen randomly, what is the probability that he or she isnot in any of the language classes

Answer:

0.5 = 50% probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We treat the number of students in each class as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Set A: Spanish class

Set B: French class

Set C: German class

We start building these sets from the intersection of the three.

In addition, there are 2 students taking all 3 classes.

This means that:

(A \cap B \cap C) = 2

6 that are in both French and German

This means that:

(B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 6

So

(B \cap C) = 4

4 French and German, but not Spanish.

4 that are in both Spanish and German

This means that:

(A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 4

So

(A \cap C) = 2

2 Spanish and German, but not French

12 students that are in both Spanish and French

This means that:

(A \cap B) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 12

So

(A \cap B) = 10

10 Spanish and French, but not German

16 in the German class.

This means that:

(C - B - A) + (A \cap C) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 16

(C - B - A) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 16

(C - B - A) = 8

8 in only German.

26 in the French class

(B - C - A) + (A \cap B) + (B \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 26

(B - C - A) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 26

(B - C - A) = 10

10 only French

28 students in the Spanish class

(A - B - C) + (A \cap B) + (A \cap C) + (A \cap B \cap C) = 16

(A - B - C) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 28

(A - B - C) = 14

14 only Spanish

At least one of them:

The sum of all the above values. So

(A \cup B \cup B) = 14 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 50

None of them:

100 total students, so:

100 - (A \cup B \cup B) = 100 - 50 = 50

(a) If a student is chosen randomly, what is the probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes?

50 out of 100. So

50/100 = 0.5 = 50% probability that he or she is not in any of the language classes.

The diameter of a iron sphere is 8 cm. It is beaten and drawn into a wire with a diameter of 2 mm. Find the length of the wire.
djyliett [7]

Answer : The length of the wire is, 8533 cm

Step-by-step explanation :

As the iron sphere is beaten and drawn into a wire. That means, their volume will be equal.

Volume of iron sphere = Volume of cylindrical wire

The formula will be:

\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3=\pi r_2^2h

where,

r_1 = radius of sphere = \frac{Diamtere}{2}=\frac{8cm}{2}=4cm

r_2 = radius of cylindrical wire = \frac{Diamtere}{2}=\frac{2mm}{2}=1mm=0.1cm

h = height of cylindrical wire or length of wire

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3=\pi r_2^2h

\frac{4}{3}\times r_1^3=r_2^2h

\frac{4}{3}\times (4)^3=(0.1)^2h

h=8533.33cm\approx 8533cm

Therefore, the length of the wire is, 8533 cm

g In American roulette, the wheel has the 38 numbers, 00, 0, 1, 2, ..., 34, 35, and 36, marked on equally spaced slots. If a pla
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The expected value for the player to play one time is -$0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable <em>X</em> is given by the formula:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X)

The American roulette wheel has the 38 numbers, {i = 00, 0, 1, 2, ..., 34, 35, and 36}, marked on equally spaced slots.

The probability that the ball stops on any of these 38 numbers is same, i.e.

P (X = i) = \frac{1}{38}.

It is provided that a a player bets $1 on a number.

If the player wins, the player keeps the dollar and receives an additional $35.

And if the player losses, the dollar is lost too.

So, the probability distribution is as follows:

<em>     X </em>: $35      -$1

P (<em>X</em>) :   \frac{1}{38}         \frac{37}{38}  

Compute the expected value of the game as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X)

         =[\$35\times \frac{1}{38}]+[-\$1\times \frac{37}{38}]\\\\=\frac{\$35-\$37}{38}\\\\=-\frac{\$2}{38}\\\\=-\frac{1}{19}\\\\=-0.052632\\\\\approx -\$0.05

Thus, the expected value for the player to play one time is -$0.05.
