In a group of students 25% are enrolled in physics, 23% in sociology, 17% in chemistry, 14% in political science, 12% in anthrop

ology, and 9% in math. you are going to select an individual from the group of students. the probability of event a is equivalent to the probability that you select someone who studies social science (sociology, political science and anthropology) or physics. what is the probability of the event a’s complement?

Notice that 25+23+17+14+12+9=100, so among these students there are no 2 studying 2 subjects.

The probabilities of selecting students studying a certain subject are as follows

P(physics)=25/100
P(chemistry)=17/100
P(maths)=9/100

P(sociology)=23/100
P(political sciences)=14/100
P(anthropology)=12/100

since all the sets are disjoint, that is there are no common elements, and since all the students in consideration are enrolled in one these 6 subjects:


P(physics)+P(chemistry)+P(maths)+P(sociology)+P(political sciences)
+P(anthropology)=1

P(a)=P(sociology)+P(political sciences)+P(anthropology)+P(physics)

thus 

P(a')=1-P(a)=P(chemistry)+P(maths)=17/100+9/100=26/100=0.26


Answer: 0.26

​You'd like to estimate the proportion of the 12,152 full-time undergraduate students at a university who are foreign students.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

a) The data distribution consists of ( 7 )​1's (denoting a foreign ​student) and ( 43 )0's (denoting a student from the​ U.S.).

b) The population distribution consists of the​ x-values of the population of 12,152 full-time undergraduate students at the​university, ( 6 )​% of which are​ 1's (denoting a foreign​ student) and ( 94 )% of which are​ 0's (denoting a student from the​ U.S.).

c) The mean is ( 0.06 )

The standard deviation is ( 0.0336 )

The sampling distribution represents the probability distribution of the ( sample ) proportion of foreign students in a random sample of ( 50 ) students. In this​ case, the sampling distribution is approximately normal with a mean of ( 0.06 ) and a standard deviation of ( 0.0336 )

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%=\frac{110}{100}

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%=\frac{11}{10}

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate \frac{11}{10} of the expected amount of power.............Answer
