At a certain high school, 15 students play stringed instruments and 20 students play brass instruments. Five students play neither
stringed nor brass instruments. What is the probability that a
randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass
instrument?

0 is the probability that a  randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass  instrument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of students who play stringed instruments, N(A) = 15

Number of students who play brass instruments, N(B) = 20

Number of students who play neither, N()' = 5

To find:

The probability that a randomly selected students plays both = ?

Solution:

Total Number of students = N(A)+N(B)+N()' =15 + 20 + 5 = 40

(As there is no student common in both the instruments we can simply add the three values to find the total number of students)

As per the venn diagram, no student plays both the instruments i.e.

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

So, 0 is the probability that a  randomly selected student plays both a stringed and a brass  instrument.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
