A) 9 B) 10
C) 11 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9

Explanation:

Let the total number of children be x. 

Then, x * (20% of x) = 405  

=> x * 20x/100 = 405 

15x2 = 405

Q:

n is an integer chosen at random from the set

{5, 7, 9, 11 }

p is chosen at random from the set

{2, 6, 10, 14, 18}

What is the probability that n + p = 23 ?

A) 0.1 B) 0.2
C) 0.25 D) 0.3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.1

Explanation:

Each of the integers in the first set could be combined with any from the second set, giving a total of 4 x 5 = 20 possible pairs.

Of these the combinations that could give a sum of 23 are (5 + 18), and (9 + 14)

This means that the probability of getting a sum of 23 is 2/20 = 1/10
