Answer:

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

The probability that a student is proficient in reading, but not in mathematics is, 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the events:

L: The student is proficient in reading

M: The student is proficient in math

The probabilities are given by:

$P (L) = 0.81\\P (M) = 0.74\\P (L\bigcap M) = 0.64$

$P (M\bigcap L^c) = P (M) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.74 - 0.64 = 0.1\\P (M^c\bigcap L) = P (L) - P (M\bigcap L) = 0.81 - 0.64 = 0.17$

The probability that a student is proficient in mathematics, but not in reading is, 0.10.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Clyde has 14 pencils in his backpack

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pencils that Clyde has in his backpack.

We can translate this statement “<u><em>Steve hade 17 pencils in his backpack. this represents 5 more than 6/7 the number of pencils that Clyde has in his backpack</em></u>” mathematically like this :

$17=5+\frac{6}{7} x \\\\ \Longleftrightarrow 17-5=\frac{6}{7} x \\\\ \Longleftrightarrow 12=\frac{6}{7} x \\ \\\Longleftrightarrow x=\frac{12\times 7}{6} =14$
