This can be solved using formula for Venn Diagrams:

Total = n(A)+ n(B) - n(both A and B) + n(neither A nor B)

Where, the n in front indicates number of items <u><em>[ n(A) is number of elements in set A ]</em></u>

We can take:

  • set A as students taking Ethics
  • set B as students taking Metaphysics

Given:

Tota = 15,000

n(A) = 2200

n(both A and B) = 1700

n(neither A nor B) = 9500

Substituting these into our formula, we get:

15,000=2200+n(B)-1700+9500\\15,000=n(B)+10,000\\n(B)=15,000-10,000\\n(B)=5000

Hence, 5000 students are taking metaphysics this term.

<u><em>*** If we want to know students taking </em></u><u><em>metaphysics ONLY</em></u><u><em>, we can subtract n(both A and B) from 5000. So we have 5000-1700=3300 ***</em></u>


ANSWER:

Total students taking Metaphysics = 5000

Students taking Metaphysics only = 3300

Show that A(t)=300−250e0.2−0.02t satisfies the differential equation ⅆAⅆt=6−0.02A with initial condition A(10)=50 .
Elina [12.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

dA/dt = 6 − 0.02A

dA/dt = -0.02 (A − 300)

Separate the variables.

dA / (A − 300) = -0.02 dt

Integrate.

ln(A − 300) = -0.02t + C

Solve for A.

A − 300 = Ce^(-0.02t)

A = 300 + Ce^(-0.02t)

Use initial condition to find C.

50 = 300 + Ce^(-0.02 × 10)

50 = 300 + Ce^(-0.2)

-250 = Ce^(-0.2)

C = -250e^(0.2)

A = 300 − 250e^(0.2) e^(-0.02t)

A = 300 − 250e^(0.2 − 0.02t)

Hey there!

Before you start solving anything, you need to identify which situation you want to call event A and which you want to call event B. I usually just do it in the order of the events as they're given to me in the question, so:

A = S<span>tudent participates in student council
B = S</span><span>tudent participates in after school sports

Any problems that contain the word "given" in the question portion will want you to refer to </span>P(A | B)<span> = P(</span>A ∩ B)/P(B). P(A | B) literally means "probability of event A, given that event B has occurred." P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and B happening, and P(B) is just the probability of event B happening. We've been given all of that, so:

P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 11% / 62%
P(A | B) = 0.11 / 0.62
P(A | B) = 0.18

There will be about an 18% chance that <span>a student participates in student council, given that the student participates in after school sports. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)</span>
