Math Problem Statement
If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that: Round all answers to 3 decimal places as needed. e) The student competed in Bachata or Bolero, but not FoxTrot?>
Solution
To find the probability that a student competed in Bachata or Bolero, but not FoxTrot, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the regions in the Venn diagram for Bachata or Bolero but not FoxTrot.
- The Bachata set consists of the numbers 297, 360, and 272 (overlap with FoxTrot).
- The Bolero set consists of the numbers 330, 360, and 322 (overlap with FoxTrot).
- We exclude the regions where FoxTrot is involved, meaning we remove all numbers that intersect with FoxTrot (i.e., 272, 322, 312, and 289).
Thus, the relevant regions are:
- Bachata only: 297
- Bolero only: 330
- Bachata & Bolero (but not FoxTrot): 360
Step 2: Total students in Bachata or Bolero, but not FoxTrot.
Add the numbers from Step 1:
Step 3: Total number of students.
To calculate the total number of students, sum up all the regions in the Venn diagram:
Step 4: Probability calculation.
The probability that a student competed in Bachata or Bolero, but not FoxTrot is the ratio of the relevant students to the total number of students:
Thus, the probability is approximately 0.389.
Do you have any questions or want more details? Here are some related questions you might find useful:
- What is the probability that a student competed in all three events (Bachata, Bolero, and FoxTrot)?
- What is the probability that a student competed in exactly two events?
- What is the probability that a student competed in only FoxTrot?
- What is the probability that a student did not compete in Bolero?
- What is the probability that a student competed in Bachata and Bolero?
Tip: Always ensure that you're counting disjoint regions correctly in a Venn diagram to avoid double-counting overlapping sections.
