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

Need help with this one as well I would be very grateful please need help !
hram777 [196]
You are given two x and y pairs: (100,45) and (570,162.5)
First solve for the slope, m.

m = (162.5 - 45) / (570 - 100)
m = 117.5 / 470
m = 0.25

Not only is "m" the slope but it is the rate (dollars per minute) in the question. So it's 25 cents per minute to use the phone.
After imputing "m"  the linear equation looks like this:
y = 0.25x + b

Use either point as (x,y) to solve for the y-intercept "b". I'll use (100,45)

45 = 0.25(100) + b
45 = 25 + b
45 - 25 = b
20 = b

Not only is "b" the y-intercept but it is also always the flat fee added on to linearly increasing cost questions like this.

Final equation is:
y = 0.25x + 20

Part B.) If 939 minutes are used. Just put that in for x and solve for y.

y = 0.25(939) + 20
y = 234.75 + 20
y = 254.75

TrianglesABC and DEF are <br> Similar<br> Not similar
puteri [66]

Answer:

Similar

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that the triangles are similar by looking at the angle measurements

Angle B = 35

Angle F = 55

Both angles A and D = 90 because these are right triangles

We can say the measure of angle E = 35 because the sum of angles in a triangle equal to 180

Same rule applies to angle C
