A math teacher randomly selects one student in a class to write a probability question on a chalkboard. The teacher then randoml

y selects a different student to answer the probability question. There are 12 boys in the class, and the ratio of boys to girls is 2:3. Find the probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second. Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

The probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second is 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys in class = 12

let number of boys in class = 2x

number of girls in class = 3x

According to the question,

2x = 12

x = 6

So, number of girls = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18

Total number of students = 18 + 12 = 30

Probabiltiy=\frac{Number\:of\:favorable\:outcome}{Number\:of\:Total\:outcome}

Probability of selecting a girl first and second girl = \frac{18}{30}\times\frac{17}{29}

=\frac{51}{145}=0.352\:(nearest\:thousandth)

Therefore, The probability that the teacher selects a girl first and a girl second is 0.352

You paid $36.20 for a sweater that originally cost $90.50. What percentage of the original price was the sweater on sale for?You
marin [14]

Answer:

32.761 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage is any fraction or ration expressed as a fraction of 100.

Percentage is calculated using formula

If A has to be expressed as percentage of then it can be expressed as

A/B * 100 in percentage form .

For given problem price paid for sweater = $36.20

original price of sweater = $90.50

Problem is to express percentage of price for which sweater was on sale for.

It can be mathematically  expressed as

what is 36.20% of 90.5

percentage of price for which sweater was on sale for = (price paid for sweater/original price of sweater  ) * 100

It can be mathematically  expressed as

what is 36.20% of 90.5

=>  ($36.20/$90.50 )* 100= 32.761.

32.761 % of the original price sweater was on sale for.

For better understanding ,It can also be said that that if the original price of sweater had been $100, then you would have got it at $32.761 .

In a class of 30 students (x+10) study algebra, (10x+3) study statistics, 4 study both algebra and statistics. 2x study only alg
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. The Venn diagrams are attached

2. When the statistics students number = 10·x + 3, we have;

The number of students that study

a. Algebra = 128/11

b. Statistic = 213/11

When the statistics students number = 2·x + 3, we have;

The number of students that study

a. Algebra = 16

b. Statistic = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total number of students = 30

Number of students that study algebra n(A) = x + 10

Number of students that study statistics n(B) = 10·x + 3

Number of student that study both algebra and statistics n(A∩B) = 4

Number of student that study only algebra n(A\B) = 2·x

Number of students that study neither algebra or statistics n(A∪B)' = 3

Therefore;

The number of students that study either algebra or statistics = n(A∪B)

From set theory we have;

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

n(A∪B) = 30 - 3 = 27

Therefore, we have;

n(A∪B) = x + 10 + 10·x + 3 - 4 = 27

11·x+13 = 27 + 4 = 31

11·x = 18

x = 18/11

The number of students that study

a. Algebra

n(A) = 18/11 + 10 = 128/11

b. Statistic

n(B) = 213/11

Hence, we have;

n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 128/11 - 4 = 84/11

Similarly, we have;

n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A∩B) = 213/11 - 4 = 169/11

However, assuming n(B) = (2·x + 3), we have;

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

n(A∪B) = 30 - 3 = 27

Therefore, we have;

n(A∪B) = x + 10 + 2·x + 3 - 4 = 27

2·x+3 + x + 10= 27 + 4 = 31

3·x = 18

x = 6

Therefore, the number of students that study

a. Algebra

n(A) = 16

b. Statistics

n(B) = 15

Hence, we have;

n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 16 - 4 = 12

Similarly, we have;

n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A∩B) = 15 - 4 = 11

The Venn diagrams can be presented as follows;
