All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 82% of the students were found to be

proficient in reading, 74% were found to be proficient in mathematics, and 65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.A student is chosen at random. What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics

Answer:

0.09 = 9% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question treating the events as Venn probabilities.

I am going to say that:

Event A: A student is proficient in reading.

Event B: A student is proficient in mathematics.

A total of 82% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that P(A) = 0.82

74% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that P(B) = 0.74

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.65

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

This is:

P = 1 - P(A \cup B)

In which

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

With the values that we have:

P(A \cup B) = 0.82 + 0.74 - 0.65 = 0.91

Then

P = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.91 = 0.09

0.09 = 9% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics

The volume of a cone with a height of 10 meters is 20 pi cubic meters. what is the diameter of the cone?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2√6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the vol. of a cone is V = (1/3)(area of base)(height).

Here, V = 20π m³ = (1/3)(area of the base)(10 m)

We need to solve for (area of the base).

Multiplying both sides of this equation by (3/10) results in:

(3/10)(20 π m³) = (area of the base)

This simplifies to 6π m² = (area of the base)

We still must find the diameter of the base.  Let's find the radius of the base first:      The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr².  Here we have 6π m² = πr², which tells us that r² = 6 m².  Since d = 2r, and r = d/2, r² = d²/4.     Then the equation 6 m² = r²  becomes:

6 m² = d²/4.

Solve this for d.   Multiplying both sides by 4, we get:

24 m² = d²2, and d = √(24 m²) = 2√6 m  

The cone diameter is 2√6 m.
