Answer:
(E) 0.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call A the event that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better, A' the event that a student has GPA lower than 3.5, B the event that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class and B' the event that a student is not taking any AP class.
So, the probability that the student has a GPA lower than 3.5 and is not taking any AP classes is calculated as:
P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)
it means that the students that have a GPA lower than 3.5 and are not taking any AP classes are the complement of the students that have a GPA of 3.5 of better or are enrolled in at least one AP class.
Therefore, P(A∪B) is equal to:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
Where the probability P(A) that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better is 0.25, the probability P(B) that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class is 0.16 and the probability P(A∩B) that a student has a GPA of 3.5 or better and is enrolled in at least one AP class is 0.12
So, P(A∪B) is equal to:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(A∪B) = 0.25 + 0.16 - 0.12
P(A∪B) = 0.29
Finally, P(A'∩B') is equal to:
P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)
P(A'∩B') = 1 - 0.29
P(A'∩B') = 0.71
The correct answer should be C
There is no y in this question, however we can solve for t.
1.4t - 0.4(t - 3.1) = 5.8
1.4t - 0.4t + 1.24 = 5.8
t + 1.24 = 5.8
t = 4.56
Answer: x > 6
Step-by-step explanation: -4(2x+2) < -40
-8x - 8 < -40
+8 +8
-8x < 48
/-8x /-8x
x > 6 *The less than sign got flipped to a greater than sign because we divided by a negative.
