am below: A Venn Diagram titled College Majors with two circles labeled Math and Science. In the math portion is 120. In the intersection is ??. In the Science portion is 50. The area outside the two circles is labeled 100. If a student is randomly selected from the group, what is the probability that they are majoring in both math and science?

The probability of selecting one student who is both from math and science is 1/10

There are the total number of student = 300

Out of which,the number of students who are only in Maths = 120

The number of students who are only in Science = 50 and the students who are not from any subject = 100

<h3>What is the formula for the total students?</h3>

Total no of students=science student+math students +none

Therefore,the number of student who are from both math and science = Total student - Math student (only) - science student (only) - None

= 300 - 120 - 50 - 100

= 30

That is, there are 30 students who are both from science and math,

Thus, the probability of selecting one student who is both from math and science = 30/300 = 1/10

Sonia has 5 yellow hair clips, 2 red hair clips and 3 blue hair clips. What is the probability she was picks a yellow hair clip

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The probability that Sonia picks a yellow hair clip and a blue hair clip without replacement = $\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sonia has:

5 yellow hair clips

2 red hair clips

3 blue hair clips

To find the probability that she picks a yellow hair clip and a blue hair clip without replacement.

Solution:

Total number of clips = $5+2+3$ = 10

The probability that Sonia picks a yellow clip from the lot will be :

⇒ $\frac{\textrm{Number of yellow clips}}{\textrm{Total number of clips}}$

⇒ $\frac{5}{10}$

Simplifying fraction by dividing both numbers by their G.C.F.

⇒ $\frac{5\div 5}{10\div 5}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$

<em>Since no replacement is taking place, so after picking a yellow clip from the lot, the number of clips is decreased by 1.</em>

So, new number of clips = $10-1$ = 9

The probability that Sonia picks a blue clip from the remaining lot will be :

⇒ $\frac{\textrm{Number of blue clips}}{\textrm{Total number of clips}}$

⇒ $\frac{3}{9}$

Simplifying fraction by dividing both numbers by their G.C.F.

⇒ $\frac{3\div 3}{9\div 3}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{3}$

The probability that she picks a yellow hair clip and a blue hair clip without replacement can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}$

⇒ $\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 3}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{6}$ (Answer)

Find the probability of drawing an 8 and then a queen (with replacement) from a standard deck of cards

murzikaleks [220]

Prob (8) = 4/52 = 1/13

Prob(Queen) = 4/52 = 1/13

Prob ( 8 then a queen) = 1/13 * 1/13 = 1/169 answer

The probabilities are multiplied beause the 2 events are independent

**Will mark brainilest, please help!** A rectangular piece of metal is 10 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 2 in lon

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The dimensions of the piece of metal can be represented by x and x+10.

Now, 2 in squares are being cut out of each corner.

So the new dimensions are x-4 (2in from each side) and x+10-4 or x+6.

When you fold it up, the height becomes 2 and the base has dimensions x-4 and x+6. Now plug this into the volume formula.

V=l*w*h

1302 = (x+6)(x-4)(2)

651 = x2+2x-24

0 = x2 + 2x-675

0 = (x+27)(x-25)

x=-27 reject since lengths cannot be negative or x=25.

So your original dimension for the piece of metal are 25 by 35.
