In a freshman class of 80 students,22 students take Consumer Education,20 students take French,and 4 students take both.Which eq

uation can be used to find the probability,P, that a randomly selected student from this class takes Consumer Education, French,or both?
A: P = 11/40 + 1/4 + 1/20

B: P = 11/40 + 1/4

C: P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

D: P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/10

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

=========================================================

Explanation:

The formula we use is

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

In this case,

  • P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
  • P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
  • P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes

So,

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

which is why choice C is the answer

----------------

Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

Ezra works two summer jobs to save for a laptop that costs at least $1100. He charges $15/hr to mow lawns and $10/hr to walk dog
777dan777 [17]

The first step is to ignore the inequality symbol first and replace it with '=' sign. Then, find the x- and y-intercepts.

15x + 10y = 1,100

x-intercept:

15x + 0 = 1,100

x = 1,100/15 = 73.33

y-intercept:

0 + 10y = 1,100

y = 1,100/10 = 110


Now, plot points (73.33,0) and (0,110). Since the equality symbol is ≥, which has an equal sign to it, connect the points using a solid line. 

Next, let's find a point on the graph. Suppose it is the origin at (0,0). Use this points to the equation.

15x + 10y ≥ 1,100

15(0) + 10(0) ? 1,100

0 ? 1,100

0 < 1,100

It makes the symbol ≥ false. Therefore, it means that the other region bounded by the line is the solution. So, you shade this area. The final graph is shown in the picture attached.

A city collects property taxes on vehicles at a rate of $3 for every $100 of the assessed value beyond $10,000 (the first $10,00
KatRina [158]
He pays $450 in taxes.

Since the first $10,000 of the assessed value is exempt, we subtract $10,000 from the $25,000 assessed:
25000-10000=15000

Now we need to see how many $100-increments are in 15000.  We do this by dividing:
15000/100 = 150

Each of these raises the taxes by $3:
150(3) = 450

10w + 4w = - 84
14w = - 84
w = - 84 : 14
w = - 6  (  answer )
-----------------------------------
10 * (- 6) + 4 * (- 6) = - 84
            - 60 + (- 24) = - 84
