Among 35 students in a class, 20 of them earned A's on the midterm exam, 13 earned A's on the nal exam, and 12 did not earn A's on either examination. What is the probability that a random

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is "[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Number of students,

= 35

A ! mid term A,

[tex]n(A) = 20[/tex]

B : final A,

[tex]n(B) = 13[/tex]

Didn't start,

[tex]n(A^c \cap B^c) = 12[/tex]

Now,

⇒ [tex]n(A \cup B)=35-12[/tex]

                   [tex]=23[/tex]

then,

⇒ [tex]n(A \cup B)=20+13-23[/tex]

                   [tex]=10[/tex]

hence,

The probability will be:

⇒ [tex]P(A \cap B)=\frac{10}{35}[/tex]

⇒                 [tex]=\frac{2}{7}[/tex]
