Solution :

Let A = Economics, B = Mathematics

n(A) = 311, n(B) = 243, $n(A \cap B) = 135$

a). So, $n(A \cup B) = n(A) +n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

                     = 311 + 243 - 135

                     = 419

b). n(A only) = 311 - 135

                   = 176

     n(B only) = 243 - 135

                   = 108

Exactly one of these two courses

  $=\frac{176+108}{500}$

  = 0.568

c). Neither economics nor mathematics

    $=\frac{500-419}{500} $

  $=\frac{81}{500}$

 = 0.162

Wen was hiking on a 12-mile route. During the first 2 hours, his hiking speed was 3 mph. During the rest of the hike, his speed
Mars2501 [29]

The total time taken to cover 12 miles distance is 5 hours.

<u>Given the Parameters</u> :

  • Total distance hiked = 12 miles

Recall :

  • Distance = speed × time

Let :

  • Total Time taken = t

<u>We could create an equation thus</u> :

Total distance = 3(2) + 2(t - 2)

12 = 6 + 2t - 4

12 = 2 + 2t

12 - 2 = 2t

10 = 2t

t = 10/2

t = 5

Therefore, the total time taken is 5 hours
