In a group of students 25% are enrolled in physics, 23% in sociology, 17% in chemistry, 14% in political science, 12% in anthrop

ology, and 9% in math. you are going to select an individual from the group of students. the probability of event a is equivalent to the probability that you select someone who studies social science (sociology, political science and anthropology) or physics. what is the probability of the event a’s complement?

Notice that 25+23+17+14+12+9=100, so among these students there are no 2 studying 2 subjects.

The probabilities of selecting students studying a certain subject are as follows

P(physics)=25/100
P(chemistry)=17/100
P(maths)=9/100

P(sociology)=23/100
P(political sciences)=14/100
P(anthropology)=12/100

since all the sets are disjoint, that is there are no common elements, and since all the students in consideration are enrolled in one these 6 subjects:


P(physics)+P(chemistry)+P(maths)+P(sociology)+P(political sciences)
+P(anthropology)=1

P(a)=P(sociology)+P(political sciences)+P(anthropology)+P(physics)

thus 

P(a')=1-P(a)=P(chemistry)+P(maths)=17/100+9/100=26/100=0.26


Answer: 0.26

Airline fares for a flight from Dallas to Austin are $30 for first class and $25 for tourist class. If a flight had 52 passenger
Nezavi [6.7K]
Set up 2 equations.(x = number of people in first class, y = tourist class)

30x + 25y = 1360
x + y = 52

You have 2 equations and 2 unknown. You can solve them.
I like to use the substitution method 

Because    y = 52 - x
Then          30x + 25(52 - x) = 1360, solve for x.

30x + 1300 - 25x = 1360
5x = 60
x = 12

Use the x to solve y
30(12) + 25y = 1360
360 + 25y = 1360
25y = 1000
y = 40

KatRina [158]
Hey there!

In order to answer this question, it's easiest to start with one of the money amounts and work your way to the other ones. Keep in mind that, no matter what, the amount of collective money won't exceed 1.50, meaning you can't have two 1 dollar bills, etc. When I wrote it out, I did it in this order:

1 = 1 dollar
0.5 = Half dollar
0.25 = Quarter

1 + 0.5 = 1.50
1 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1.50
0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.50
0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1.50
0.5 + (0.25*4) = 1.50
0.25*6 = 1.50

Since no other combinations add up to 1.50, your answer is 6. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
