Powered by AITo find the number of boys who play both sports, use the inclusion-exclusion principle: Total = Football + Rugby - Both. If each boy plays at least one sport and 55 play football, 75 play rugby, then 55 + 75 - Both = 100. Solving gives Both = 55 + 75 - 100 = 30.
To determine this probability, consider the individual probabilities and use conditional probability principles. Suppose x take only music and y take only art. P(Music first, Art second) = P(select music first) * P(select art second given first was music). Calculate this with total students and adjust for order dependency by multiplying respective probabilities.
Events A and B are not mutually exclusive because there is an intersection between the two sets: some boys play both football and rugby. Given 55 boys play football and 75 play rugby, if a boy could not do both, the sum of players would exceed 100, but the class has only 100 students. Therefore, some boys are counted twice, confirming that A and B are not mutually exclusive.
To calculate the probability that Fred wins a prize, consider the binomial distribution given the number of trials (n = 4) and the probability of rolling a sum of 5 with two 4-sided dice. First, you need the probability of rolling a sum of 5, which requires listing all pairs (red, green) like (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), and (4,1), giving 4 out of the 16 possible outcomes. Therefore, p(success) = 4/16 = 0.25. The probability that Fred wins a prize (successful outcome in at least 3 dice rolls) is calculated as the sum of the binomial probabilities P(X=3) and P(X=4) using P(X=k) = C(n,k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k). Here, P(X=3) = C(4,3) * (0.25)^3 * (0.75)^1 and P(X=4) = C(4,4) * (0.25)^4. Adding these probabilities gives the total probability of winning a prize.
To determine p, q, and r, use the condition that the sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes must equal 1. The given probabilities are: P(sum=2)=p, P(sum=3)=q, P(sum=4)=16/4, P(sum=5)=3/16, P(sum=6)=4/16=1/4, P(sum=7)=3/16, P(sum=8)=r. Adding these: p + q + 1/4 + 3/16 + 1/4 + 3/16 + r = 1. Simplify to get an equation in terms of p, q, and r, then solve using additional constraints or given information about specific values.
To verify normality, confirm assumptions: symmetry, mean=median=mode, and specific known probabilities for standard deviations around the mean. The given shaded region represents a probability, suggesting areas under typical curves (z-tables). Verify math consistency between mean, standard deviation (find from z-scores), and given area.
The events of playing music and taking art are not independent if the probability of taking music affects the probability of taking art. If P(Art|Music) ≠ P(Art), then they are dependent. Given data from the problem about students taking both or only one subject, calculate these probabilities and compare; non-equality shows dependency.
Convert the value using a Z-score: Z = (X - mean) / standard deviation. With variance=9, std dev=√9=3. For X=24.5, Z=(24.5-20)/3=1.5. Use standard normal distribution tables to find P(Z≤1.5). This result gives P(X≤24.5) by cumulative probabilities.
This probability is calculated by first identifying the distribution (Binomial, n=240, p=0.05). To find P(at least 10), compute 1 - P(less than 10), summing probabilities for 0 to 9 brown eggs using the formula P(X=k) = C(n,k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k) and subtracting from one.
To express the probability of Evan winning exactly four games in Game B, use the formula for binomial probabilities: P(X=k) = C(n,k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k). Here, for exactly four wins (k=4) in seven games (n=7), the expression becomes P(X=4) = C(7,4) * p^4 * (1-p)^3.
