At a certain college, 49% of the students are female, and 21% of the students major in civil engineering. Furthermore, 8% of the students both are female and major in civil engineering.

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that a student is a female or major in civil engineering is 62%

How to determine the probability?

Let A represent Female and B represents civil engineering.

So, we have:

P(A) = 49%

P(B) = 21%

P(A and B) = 8%

The required probability is calculated as:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

This gives

P(A or B) = 49% + 21% - 8%

Evaluate

P(A or B) = 62%

Hence, the probability that a student is a female or major in civil engineering is 62%

Complete question

what fraction of a dollar is 236 cents?

Answers

236/100, 59/25, or 2 9/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 100 cents in a dollar, so 236/100 is your starting fraction. The simplest improper fraction would be 59/25. But if you're looking for a mixed number, you get 2 9/25.

236 cents is equivalent to 118/50 or 2.36 dollars as a fraction of a dollar.

To solve this problem,

We need to convert 236 cents into dollars.

Since there are 100 cents in one dollar,

we can divide 236 by 100 to get the equivalent dollar value.

⇒ 236 cents ÷ 100 cents per dollar = 2.36 dollars

Now that we know that 236 cents is equivalent to 2.36 dollars,

we can express it as a fraction of a dollar.

To do this, we'll use the fact that one dollar is equivalent to 100 cents, which means that one dollar can be expressed as the fraction 100/100.

To find the fraction of a dollar that 2.36 dollars represents,

we'll divide 2.36 by 1.

⇒ 2.36 ÷ 1 = 2.36/1

To express this as a fraction of a dollar,

Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 to get,

⇒ (2.36 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 236/100

Simplifying this fraction, we get,

⇒ 236/100 = 118/50

Therefore,

236 cents is equivalent to 118/50 or 2.36 dollars as a fraction of a dollar.

√(x + 5) - 1 = 2                      Add 1 to both sides

√(x + 5) - 1 +1 = 2 + 1            Combine

Step-by-step explanation:

The required measure of the angle c in the quadrilateral is given as 65°.

As mentioned in the question,
A quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle o. the angle measures the quadrilateral in degrees is given by the expressions shown in the figure.

What is the angle?

Orientation of the one line with respect to the horizontal or other respective line is known as a measure of orientation and this measure is known as the angle.

Here,
In a quadrilateral, the sum of the composite angle is equal to 180°,
∠A + ∠C = 180
130 -x + 95 -2x = 180
-3x = 180 - 225
x = 15

Now,
∠c = 95 - 2x
∠c = 95 - 2×15
∠c = 65

Thus, the required measure of the angle c in the quadrilateral is given as 65°.

What is Probability ?

Probability can be defined as the study of likelihood of an event to happen.

It has a range of 0 to 1.

Probability is the ratio of the expected outcomes / total coutcome.

Total outcomes = 18

The probability that the first candy is taffy is 11/18

Now as there is no replacement , the total outcomes can be 17

The probability that the second candy is caramel is 4/17

Probability that the first candy selected is taffy and the second candy is caramel =  (11/18)(4/17)

he wants to find another point on the graph of this function.
First, he subtracts 6.5 from 17.55 to get 11.05.
Next, he adds 11.05 and 17.55 to get 28.6.
He states that (5,28.6) is a point on g(x).
Is he correct? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Mike's claim that (5,28.6) is a point on the exponential function g(x) is incorrect

How to determine if he is correct?

The points are given as:

(3,6.5) and (4,17.55)

An exponential equation is represented as:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Using the given points, we have the following equations:

[tex]ab^3 = 6.5[/tex]

[tex]ab^4 = 17.55[/tex]

Divide both equations:

[tex]ab^4 \div ab^3 = 17.55 \div 6.5[/tex]

Evaluate

b = 2.7

Substitute b = 2.7 in [tex]ab^3 = 6.5[/tex]

[tex]a * 2.7^3 = 6.5[/tex]

Solve for a

[tex]a = \frac{6.5}{2.7^3}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a = \frac{6.5}{2.7^3}[/tex] and b = 2.7 in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{6.5}{2.7^3} * 2.7^x[/tex]

His point (5,28.6) means that:

x = 5 when y = 28.6

Substitute x = 5 in [tex]y = \frac{6.5}{2.7^3} * 2.7^x[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{6.5}{2.7^3} * 2.7^5[/tex]

Evaluate

y = 47.385

y = 47.385 and y = 28.6 are not the same
