Answer: B ) \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of students in junior class n(S)= 50

The number of students take only Latin n(L-F)= 15

The number of students take only French n(F-L)=25

The number of students take both = n(F∩L)=10

The number of students take Latin n(L)=n(L-F)+n(F∩L)=15+10=25

Therefore, the probability that the student takes Latin is given by :-

\text{Probability(Latin)}=\frac{\text{number of students take latin}}{\text{Total students}}\\\\=\frac{25}{50}=\frac{1}{2}

There are 15 students who take Latin, and 10 students who take both.
Therefore:
15+10 =25 total students taking Latin
25students / 50 total students = 1/2

The answer is 1/2.

In high-school 135 freshmen were interviewed.
timama [110]

Answer:

a) n(none) = 25

b) n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Venn diagram drawn:

a) Number of students that took none

n(Freshmen) = 135

n(all three) = 5

n (PE and Bio) = 10

n(PE and Eng) = 15

n(Bio and Eng) = 7

n (PE and Bio only) = 10 - 5 = 5

n(PE and Eng only) = 15 - 5 = 10

n(Bio and Eng only) = 7 - 5 = 2

n(PE only) = 35 - 5 - 5 - 10 = 15

n(Bio only) = 42 - 5 - 5 - 2 = 30

n(Eng only) = 60 - 10 - 5 -2 = 43

n(Freshmen) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only) + n(PE and Bio only) + n(PE and Eng only) + n(Bio and Eng only) + n(all three) + n(none)

135 = 15 + 30 + 43 + 5 + 10 + 2 + 5 + n(none)

135 = 110 + n(none)

n(none) = 135 - 110

n(none) = 25

b)Number of students that too PE but not Bio

n(PE but not bio)= n(PE only) + n(PE and Eng only)

n(PE but not Bio) = 15 + 10

n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) Number of students that took ENG but not both BIO and PE

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = n(Eng only) + n(Eng and Bio only) + n(Eng and PE only) = 43 + 2 + 10

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) Number of students that did not take ENG or BIO

n( students that did not take Eng or Bio) = n(PE only) + n(none)

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 15 + 25

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) Probability that a randomly-chosen student from this group did not take exactly two subjects

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only)

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 15 + 30 + 43

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 88

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 88/135

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65
