Answer:

1,968

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x₁ and x₂, y₁ and y₂, and z₁ and z₂ represent the 3 pairs of siblings, and let;

Set X represent the set where the siblings x₁ and x₂ sit together

Set Y represent the set where the siblings y₁ and y₂ sit together

Set Z represent the set where the siblings z₁ and z₂ sit together

We have;

Where the three siblings don't sit together given as X^c∩Y^c∩Z^c

By set theory, we have;

\left | X^c \cap Y^c \cap Z^c  \right | = \left | X^c \cup Y^c \cup Z^c  \right | =  \left | U  \right | - \left | X \cup Y \cup Z  \right |

\left | U  \right | - \left | X \cup Y \cup Z  \right | = \left | U  \right | - \left (\left | X \right | +  \left | Y\right | +  \left | Z\right | -  \left | X \cap Y\right | -  \left | X \cap Z\right | -  \left | Y\cap Z\right | +  \left | X \cap Y \cap Z\right | \right)

Therefore;

\left | X^c \cap Y^c \cap Z^c  \right | = \left | U  \right | - \left (\left | X \right | +  \left | Y\right | +  \left | Z\right | -  \left | X \cap Y\right | -  \left | X \cap Z\right | -  \left | Y\cap Z\right | +  \left | X \cap Y \cap Z\right | \right)

Where;

\left | U\right | = The number of ways the 3 pairs of siblings can sit on the 7 chairs = 7!

\left | X\right | = The number of ways x₁ and x₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 6!

\left | Y\right | = The number of ways y₁ and y₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 6!

\left | Z\right | = The number of ways z₁ and z₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 6!

\left | X \cap Y\right | = The number of ways x₁ and x₂ and y₁ and y₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 2 × 5!

\left | X \cap Z\right | = The number of ways x₁ and x₂ and z₁ and z₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 2 × 5!

\left | Y \cap Z\right | = The number of ways y₁ and y₂ and z₁ and z₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 2 × 5!

\left | X \cap Y \cap Z\right | = The number of ways x₁ and x₂,  y₁ and y₂ and z₁ and z₂ can sit together on the 7 chairs = 2 × 2 × 2 × 4!

Therefore, we get;

\left | X^c \cap Y^c \cap Z^c  \right | = 7! - (2×6! + 2×6! + 2×6! - 2 × 2 × 5! - 2 × 2 × 5! - 2 × 2 × 5! + 2 × 2 × 2 × 4!)

\left | X^c \cap Y^c \cap Z^c  \right | = 5,040 - 3072 = 1,968

The number of ways where the three siblings don't sit together given as \left | X^c \cap Y^c \cap Z^c  \right |  = 1,968

Fifty-five percent of the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses. Of the team memebers who do not wear glasses, 30
GarryVolchara [31]

the probability that a randomly chosen member of the JV swim team does not wear glasses and is in the 10th grade is 14%.

Given, the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses is 55%.

And the members of junior varsity swim team who do not wear glasses and in 10th grade is 30%.

Let the total no. of members be x.

So, the members of the junior varsity swim team wear glasses (55%),will be

0.55x.

The total number of members not wearing glasses, will be

x - 0.55 x = 0.45 x.

Now, the no. of members not wearing glasses and in 10th grade will be,

\frac{0.45x\times30}{100} =0.135x

We know that the probability of an event E, P(E) will be,

P(E)=\frac{No.\ of Favourable\ outcomes}{total \ no. \ of \ outcomes}

So, the probability for no. of members not wearing glasses and in 10th grade will be,

P(E)=\dfrac{0.135x}{x}

P(E)=0.135\\\\P(E)=13.5 \%

Hence the nearest whole percent of probability is 14%.
