44

Step-by-step explanation:

let boys be x and girls be y

x/y=5/6

x=5y/6....(1)

if 6 boys join the club that will be x+6

Therefore:

(x+6)/y=13/12

13y=12x+72

13y-12x=72

Recall x=5y/6

Therefore:

13y-12(5y/6)=72

13y-(2*5y)=72

13y-10y=72

3y=72

y=24 people

Therefore:

x=(5*24)/6

x=20 people

Therefore people in the club before are 20+24=44

Answer:

0.0108 = 1.08% probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major

Out of 92 students, 9 are non-chemistry major sophomores. So

P(A) = \frac{9}{92}

Then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

Now, there are 91 students(1 has been chosen), of which 10 are non-chemistry major juniors. So

P(B) = \frac{10}{91}

What is the probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random

P = P(A)*P(B) = \frac{9}{92}*\frac{10}{91} = \frac{9*10}{92*91} = 0.0108

0.0108 = 1.08% probability that a sophomore non-Chemistry major and then a junior non-Chemistry major are chosen at random.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

n = 12 , m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

since it is said it is a parallelogram so opposite sides are equal

n = 12 (being opposite sides of parallelogram)

m + 1 = 6 (being opposite sides of parallelogram)

m = 6 - 1

m = 5
