You are performing an experiment to determine how well plants grow under different light sources. of the 30 plants in the experiment, 12 receive visible light, 15 receive ultraviolet light, and 6 receive both visible and ultraviolet light. what is the probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light? explain so i can know how to do a similar question in the future.

The required probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light is $\dfrac{7}{10}$ .

Given that,

The total number of plants in the experiment = 30 plants,

Plants that receive visible light alone = 12 plants,

Plants that receive ultraviolet light alone = 15 plants,

Plants that receive both visible and ultraviolet light = 6 plants.

We have to determine,

The probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light.

According to the question,

To find the probability of the plants in the experiment by using the formula given below.

$Probability = \dfrac{Number \ of \ required \ events }{ Total \ number \ of \ events}$

Then, The probability of plants that receive visible light alone is,

$P(visible) = \dfrac{12}{30}\\\\P(visible) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

The probability of plants that receive ultraviolet light alone is,

$P(ultraviolet) = \dfrac{15}{30}\\\\P(ultraviolet) = \dfrac{1}{2}$

The Probability of plants that receive both visible and ultraviolet light,

$P(both) = \dfrac{6}{30}\\\\P(both) = \dfrac{1}{5}$

Therefore,

The probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light is,

$P(visible \ or \ ultraviolet ) = P(visible) + P (ultraviolet) + P (both)\\\\P(visible \ or \ ultraviolet ) = \dfrac{2}{5} + \dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{5}\\\\P(visible \ or \ ultraviolet ) = \dfrac{4+5-2}{10}\\\\P(visible \ or \ ultraviolet ) = \dfrac{7}{10}$

Hence, The required probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light is $\dfrac{7}{10}$ .

The probability that a plant in the experiment receives visible or ultraviolet light is 7/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of plants in the experiment = 30 plants

Plants that receive visible light alone = 12 plants

Plants that receive ultraviolet light alone = 15 plants

Plants that receive both visible and ultraviolet light = 6 plants

step 1 :

Probability = No. of required events / Total number

step 2 :

P(visible) = 12 / 30

P(ultraviolet) = 15 / 30

P(both) = 6 / 30

step 3 :

P(visible or ultraviolet) = P(visible) + P(ultraviolet) - P(both)

= 12/30 + 15/30 - 6/30

= 21/30

P(visible or ultraviolet) = 7/10

{x = -1/2 , y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer: {x = -1/2 , y = -1

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry. how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
