Answer:

The probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a student is taking math =P(M)=33% =0.33

The probability that a student is taking computer science =P(C)= 62%=0.62

The probability that a student is taking math and computer science =P(M∩C)= 58%=0.58

So, the probability that a student is taking math or computer science i.e.P(M∪C)

So, Formula:P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

P(M∪C)=P(M)+P(C)-P(M∩C)

P(M∪C)=0.33+0.62-0.58

P(M∪C)=0.37

Hence the probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is:

5y+6r=660\\y=2r+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Number of bracelets with yellow beads is represented by y

Each bracelet with yellow beads is sold for $5.

Total money raised by bracelets with yellow beads = Number of bracelets sold \times Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 5y

Also Given that Number of bracelets with Orange beads is represented by r

Each bracelet with orange beads is sold for $6.

Total money raised by bracelets with orange beads = Number of bracelets sold \times Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 6r

Given that total money raised by sale of both type of bracelets is $660.

so, the first equation becomes:

5y+6r=660 ....... (1)

It is also given that "<em>The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads</em>"

\Rightarrow r =2r+8 ...... (2)

So, by equation (1) and (2), the system of equations is:

5y+6r=660\\y=2r+8

joja [24]

Answer: The answer is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times Jamie’s age. Jamie is at least 14 and Anna is at most 35. We are to select the correct combination of inequalities among the given options.

Also, 'a' and 'j' are the possible ages of Anna and Jamie respectively. Therefore, according to the given information, we can write

a\leq 2j+3,\\j\geq 14,\\a\leq 35.

Thus, the correct option is (b) a ≤ 3 + 2j; j ≥ 14, a ≤ 35.

Digiron [165]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
20^2 + 21^2 = c^2
400 + 441 = c^2
841 = c^2
sqrt 841 = c
29 = c <== third straw will be 29 cm
