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

Michelle is building a rectangular landing strip for airplanes .She has material to cover 1/1,500 of a square mile. The landing

ANEK [815]

I think that the missing word here is:
"with the amount of the material that Michelle has"

Let's say that her landing strip is x miles long, then its area would be:

$\frac{1}{6} *x$

We also know how big it is:

$\frac{1}{6} *x= \frac{1}{1 500}$

now, let's multiply both sides by 6:
$\frac{6}{6} *x= \frac{6}{1 500}$
$1 *x= \frac{3}{750}$
$x= \frac{1}{250}$

So the answer is that it would be $x= \frac{1}{250}$ miles wide

Andrea is told that the means of two groups in a study were statistically significant. She knows the means and standard deviatio

salantis [7]

Answer:

Cohen's D

Step-by-step explanation:

Cohen's D is a statistic that measures effect size. It shows standardised difference between 2 means.

Effect size is defined as how large the effect of a something is or its magnitude.

Cohen's D works effectively when the sample is >50 (that is for large samples). However a correction factor can be used to make results from small samples more accurate

The formular for Cohen's D is:

D = (mean1 - mean2) ÷ (√({standard deviation1}^2 + {standard deviation 2}^2)/2)

This is the most appropriate method in the given scenario

The graph shows the cost, C, of sending m text messages. What is the cost per message?

Travka [436]

Answer:

C.$0.15 I TOOK IT ON STUDY ISLAND

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find an exact point on the graph. What I mean by this is you want to go somewhere on the graph where the line goes through an exact y and x value.

Second, you want to figure out where this x and y value are. Where the graph first goes through two points is at (20, 3).

Third, you want to figure out what the 20 and the 3 mean. 20 is the number of messages and 3 is the dollar amount.

Finally, to calculate the amount of money per message, you divide the dollar amount (3) by the number of messages (20). So, you have 3/20. After this, simplify 3/20 to get 0.15, or 15 cents per message.
