Someone pls help me with this

1/2,1/3,1/8 find the sum

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum you must ad.

Fractions can only be added and subtracted when the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same.

24 is the smallest number that 2, 3 and 8 go into.

1/2 = 12/24, 1/3 = 8/24, 1/8 = 3/24

$\frac{12}{24} + \frac{8}{24} + \frac{3}{24} = \frac{23}{24}$

All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be

Aneli [31]

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$
