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

<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.

Pentagon ABCDE and pentagon A″B″C″D″E″ are shown on the coordinate plane below:
erastova [34]

The transformations that are applied to pentagon ABCDE to create A"B"C"D"E" are:

1) Translation (x, y) → (x + 8, y + 2)

2) Reflection across the x-axis (x, y) → (x, -y)

So, the overall transformation given in the graph is (x, y) → {(x + 8), -(y + 2)}.

<h3>What are the transformation rules?</h3>

The transformation rules are:

  • Reflection across x-axis: (x, y) → (x, -y)
  • Reflection across y-axis: (x, y) → (-x, y)
  • Translation: (x, y) → (x + a, y + b)
  • Dilation: (x, y) → (kx, ky)

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The pentagons in the graph have vertices as

For the pentagon ABCDE: A(-4, 5), B(-6, 4), C(-5, 1), D(-2, 2), and (-2, 4)

For the pentagon A"B"C"D"E": A"(4, -7), B"(2, -6), C"(3, -3), D"(6, -4), and E"(6, -6)

Consider the vertices A(-4, 5) from the pentagon ABCDE and A"(4, -7) from the pentagon A"B"C"D"E".

Applying the Translation rule for the pentagon ABCDE:

The rule is (x, y) → (x + a, y + b)

So, the variation is

-4 + a = 4

⇒ a = 4 + 4 = 8

5 + b = 7

⇒ b = 7 - 5 = 2

So, the pentagon ABCDE is translated by (x + 8, y + 2).

Applying the Reflection rule for the translated pentagon:

The translated pentagon has vertices (x + 8, y + 2).

When applying the reflection across the x-axis,

(x + 8, y + 2) → {(x + 8), -(y + 2)}

Therefore, the complete transformation of the pentagon ABCDE to the pentagon A"B"C"D"E" is (x, y) → {(x + 8), -(y + 2)}

Verification:

A(-4, 5) → ((-4 + 8), -(5 + 2)) = (4, -7)A"

B(-6, 4) → ((-6 + 8), -(4 + 2)) = (2, -6)B"

C(-5, 1) → ((-5 + 8), -(1 + 2)) = (3, -3)C"

D(-2, 2) → ((-2 + 8), -(2 + 2)) = (6, -4)D"

E(-2, 4) → ((-2 + 8), -(4 + 2)) = (6, -6)E"

Using PYTHAGORAS THEOREM answer the question A vertical pillar ab bent at c at a height of 2.4m and its upper end b touches the
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

  5.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the various lengths is ...

  cd² = ac² +ad²

  cd² = (2.4 m)² + (1.8 m)² = 9.00 m²

  cd = √(9.00 m²) = 3.0 m

Since cd = cb and ab = ac+cb, we have ...

  ab = 2.4 m + 3.0 m = 5.4 m

_____

You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 0.6. We are asked for the sum of the lengths of the "4" and "5" legs, which is ...

  0.6·(4+5) = 5.4

What is the length of BC?
MrRissso [65]

If Two Angles in a Triangle are Equal, Then Sides Corresponding to those Angles are also Equal

From the Figure, We can Notice that ∠C = ∠B

⇒ Length of AC = Length of AB

⇒ 2x - 24 = x - 2

⇒ x = 24 - 2

⇒ x = 22
