Answer:

0.56 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes

To find:

Probability that the signal will show green light when you reach the destination = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us convert each time to same unit before doing any calculations.

Time for which signal shows green light = 4 minutes = 4 \times 60 seconds = 240 seconds

Time for which signal shows yellow light = 10 seconds

Time for which signal shows red light = 3 minutes = 3 \times 60 seconds = 180 seconds

Now, let us have a look at the formula for probability of an event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Here, E is the event that green light is shown by the signal.

Number of favorable cases mean the time for which green light is shown and Total number of cases is the total time <em>(Time for which green light is shown + Time for which Yellow light is shown + Time for which red light is shown)</em>

So, the required probability is:

P(E) = \dfrac{240}{240+10+180}\\\Rightarrow P(E) = \dfrac{240}{430}\\\Rightarrow \bold{P(E) \approx 0.56 }

At Prairieview Middle School, 100 students participate in at least one of three after-school clubs: soccer club, art club, and g
Tresset [83]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students in soccer club, n(S) = 50

Number of students in Art club, n(A) = 53

Number of students in Gaming club, n(G)

n(S \cup A\cup G) = 100

n(S \cap A\cap G) = 9

n(S \cap A) = 20

n(A \cap G) = 35

n(G \cap S) = 29

Formula:

n ( A ∪ B ∪ C ) =  n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n ( A ∩ B ) – n(B ∩ C) – n (A ∩ C) + n( A ∩ B ∩ C )

Putting the values:

100 = 50 + 53 + n(G) - 20 - 35 - 29 + 9

100 = 112 + n(G) - 84

n(G) = 72

Number of students in gaming club only = n(G) - n(G \cap S) - n(A \cap G) + n(S \cap A\cap G)

= 72 - 35 - 29 + 9

= <em>17</em>
