An exceptionally bright high school student has applied for two scholarships: a merit scholarship and an athletic scholarship. H
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) 0.70

b) 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let M be the event that student get merit scholarship and A be the event that student get athletic scholarship.

P(M)=0.3

P(A)=0.6

P(M∩A)=0.08

P(not getting merit scholarships)=P(M')=?

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-P(M)

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-0.3

P(not getting merit scholarships)=0.7

The probability that student not get the merit scholarship is 70%.

b)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M or A)=P(M∪A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M)+P(A)-P(M∩A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.3+0.6-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.9-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.82

The probability that student gets at least one of two scholarships is 82%.

3a+4b=5a-t solve for a
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

2b+t/2=a

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + 4b = 5a-t

-3a           -3a

4b = 2a - t

+t         +t

4b + t = 2a

/2           /2

2b+t/2=a

Calculate the value of the exterior angle
aev [14]

What we know is that the sum of a triangle's internal angles are 180º, and a straight angle makes 180º.

first, we have to find the third internal angle(let's call it n) so that we can use it to find the exterior angle.

(3x + 20) + (4x + 5) + n = 180

simplify:

7x + 25 + n = 180

7x + n = 155

n = 155 - 7x

Now we can add it to the external angle to find x.

(155 - 7x) + (8x + 15) = 180

simplify:

170 + 8x - 7x = 180

170 + x = 180

x = 10

Now we can substitute it to the external angle.

8 x 10 + 15 = 95

the exterior angle is 95º.

Which function is the inverse of ſx) - 2x+ 3?
Sonbull [250]

If f^{-1}(x) is the inverse of f(x), then

f\left(f^{-1}(x)\right) = x

which means

2f^{-1}(x)+3 = x

Solve for f^{-1}(x) :

2f^{-1}(x) + 3 = x \\\\ 2f^{-1}(x) = x - 3 \\\\ f^{-1}(x) = \dfrac{x-3}2 = \boxed{\dfrac12x-\dfrac32}
