In your math class there are 15 boys and 21 girls. 12 of the boys and 15 of the girls are freshmen. if you randomly choose a student in your class, what is the probability that you'll choose a girl or a freshman?
Final answer:
The probability of randomly choosing a girl or a freshman from the class is 0.916 or 91.6%. This is calculated by considering the total number of girls and freshmen in the class, while avoiding double-counting freshman girls in the calculation.
Explanation:
To calculate the probability that a randomly chosen student from the class is either a girl or a freshman, we need to consider the total number of students in the class, as well as the number of girls and the number of freshmen. The class consists of 15 boys and 21 girls, totaling 36 students. Out of these, 12 boys are freshmen and 15 girls are freshmen, but we must avoid double-counting the girls who are also freshmen.
First, we calculate the total number of freshmen: 12 boys + 15 girls = 27 freshmen. Next, we calculate the probability of picking a girl: 21 girls / 36 total students = 0.583 (to three decimal places). We then calculate the probability of picking a freshman: 27 freshmen / 36 total students = 0.750. However, since the freshmen include both boys and girls, we must subtract the probability of picking a freshman girl to avoid double-counting: 15 girls who are freshmen / 36 total students = 0.417.
Finally, we add the probability of picking a girl and the probability of picking a freshman, and subtract the probability of picking a freshman girl to obtain the inclusive probability: 0.583 (girl) + 0.750 (freshman) - 0.417 (freshman girl) = 0.916.
Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student is either a girl or a freshman is 0.916, or 91.6%.
A man 50 years old has 8 sons born of equal intervals. The sum of the ages of the father and sons is 186. What is the age of the eldest son if the youngest is 3 years old.,
To find the age of the eldest son in a family where the father is 50 and has 8 sons with a total age sum of 186, and the youngest son is 3, one can determine the age difference between siblings and use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series.
The question is asking us to determine the age of the eldest son, given that the sum of the ages of a 50-year-old father and his 8 sons is 186 years and the youngest son is 3 years old. Let's assume that the sons are born at equal intervals; we can denote the age difference between each son as 'd' years.
The sequence of the sons' ages forms an arithmetic series where the youngest son is 3 years old (the first term of the series, or 'a1'), and the eldest son's age will be 'a1 + 7d' (since there are 8 sons).
Since the sum of an arithmetic series is given by the formula 'n/2 * (a1 + an)', where 'n' is the number of terms, 'a1' is the first term and 'an' is the last term, we can set up the equation:
8/2 * (3 + (3 + 7d)) = 186 - 50 (subtract the father's age from the total sum).
This simplifies to 4 * (3 + 3 + 7d) = 136, or '4 * (6 + 7d) = 136'. Dividing both sides by 4, we get '6 + 7d = 34', which leads to '7d = 28' and thus 'd = 4'.
Therefore, the age of the eldest son will be '3 + 7*4', which equals 31 years old.

The sum of two numbers is 240. the larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. find the numbers. the smaller number is , and the larger number is
The smaller number is 82 and the larger number is 158.
Given that, the sum of two numbers is 240.
What is an equation?In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.
Let the smaller number be x.
The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller.
Larger number = 2x - 6
Now, the sum of two numbers is 240.
So, x+2x-6 = 240
⇒ 3x - 6 =240
⇒ 3x = 246
⇒ x = 82
Larger number = 240 - 82
= 158
Therefore, the smaller number is 82 and the larger number is 158.
