There are 100 freshman students at a school. The probability that a freshman plays a sport is 0.55. The probability that a fresh

man plays a musical instrument is 0.34. The probability that a freshman plays both a sport and a musical instrument is 0.15. What is the probability that a freshman student at this school plays either a sport or a musical instrument?

The likelihood that a freshman at this institution participates in either sports or music is 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The principles of probability addition are:

  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) when events are mutually exclusive (cannot occur simultaneously)
  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) when they are non-mutually exclusive (if there’s a shared outcome)

Since the chance of a freshman engaging in sports is 0.55

∴ P(sport) = 0.55

The chance of a freshman playing a musical instrument is 0.34

∴ P(music) = 0.34

The probability that a freshman is involved in both activities is 0.15

∴ P(sport and music) = 0.15

To determine the probability of a freshman engaging in sports or music, we use the second principle as it is non-mutually exclusive

∵ P(sport or music) = P(sport) + P(music) - P(sport and music)

∴ P(sport or music) = 0.55 + 0.34 - 0.15

∴ P(sport or music) = 0.74

The chance that a freshman at this school participates in either sports or music is 0.74

AnnZ [12381]
Addends refer to the numbers being summed in an equation. 

Their arrangement only matters if parentheses are utilized to modify the usual Order of Operations. 

For example:
2 - (8 + 3)  in this case, 8 and 3 must be grouped first before tackling the subtraction.

Any addition scenario without parentheses can similarly function where the grouping is irrelevant.

If the area of the vegetable garden is 170 square feet which equation could be of use to find the length of the tomato patch? 0=
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The equation 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160 might be useful in determining the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the vegetable garden is specified as 170 ft².

Now, regarding the provided equations;

1) For 0 = 3x² + 2x + 180, applying the quadratic formula results in:

x = [-2 ± √(3² - 4(3 × 180)]/(2 × 3)

x = [-2 ± √(-2151)]/6

The square root value is negative, indicating no real solution for x.

Thus, this equation does not help find the length.

2) For the equation 0 = 3x² + 10x + 180, employing the quadratic formula, the square root value is also negative, hence there's no natural root for x. This means this equation can't be used to determine the length.

3) For 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160, the roots when using the quadratic formula yield -10.67 or 5. The value 5 is viable since it is a whole number. Considering the area is also a whole number, this equation can be applied to ascertain the length.

4) For 0 = 3x² - 160, simplifying gives;

3x² = 160

x² = 160/3

x = ±√(160/3)

x = ±7.303

Since the area is a whole number but this length isn't, this equation may not accurately determine the length.

Jackson is conducting an experiment for his Physics class. He attaches a weight to the bottom of a metal spring. He then pulls t
zzz [12365]
The behavior of the spring can be described using either a sine or cosine function. The spring's maximum displacement is 6 inches, occurring at t=0, which we will define as the positive peak. Therefore, we can express the function as:
6sin(at+B). The spring's period is 4 minutes, which means the time factor in the equation must complete a cycle (2π) in 4 minutes. This gives us the equation 4min*a=2π, leading to a=π/2. Generally, a=2π/T where a is the coefficient and T is the period. For B, since sin(π/2)=1, we determine B=π/2 because at t=0, the equation becomes 6sin(B)=6. Therefore, we substitute to form f(t)=6sin(πt/2+π/2)=6cos(πt/2)
due to trigonometric relations.

A grocery store receives deliveries of corn from two farms, one in Iowa and the other in Ohio. Both farms produce ears of corn w
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The number of standard deviations above the mean is z_o   = 1.4607

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates that:

   The average weight of the corn ears from each farm is \mu=1.26

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Iowa is \sigma_1

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Ohio is

     \sigma_2= 0.01 + \sigma_1

     

  A randomly chosen ear of corn from Iowa weighs  x =  1.39 pounds

  The standardized score is  z = 1.645

  The weight of a randomly chosen ear of corn from Ohio measures  x_1 =  1.39\ pound

In general, the standardized score of corn weight from Iowa can be mathematically defined as:

        z  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }

=>     1.645 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }  

=>      \sigma_1 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{ 1.64 5}  

=>      \sigma_1  =   0.0790  

Conversely, the standardized score of corn weight from Ohio is expressed as:

         z_o  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_2 }

=>     z_o=  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{0.01 + \sigma_1 }  

=>      z_o =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{  0.089}  

=>      z_o   = 1.4607

A positive value indicates this quantity represents the number of standard deviations above the mean.
