Assume you have applied for two scholarships, a Merit scholarship (M) and an Athletic scholarship (A). The probability that you receive an Athletic scholarship is 0.18. The probability of receiving both scholarships is 0.11. The probability of getting at least one of the scholarships is 0.3. Let M denote the event that you will receive a Merit scholarship. Let A denote the event that you will receive an Athletic scholarship. Answer questions 11-15. What is the probability that you will receive a Merit scholarship

The probability of obtaining a Merit Scholarship = 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The probability of obtaining a merit scholarship P(A) = 0.18

The probability of obtaining both P(A ∩ M) = 0.11

The probability of getting at least one P(A ∪ M)  = 0.3

The objective is to determine the probability of obtaining a Merit Scholarship.

So, as given:

if M represents Merit Scholarship and A represent Athletic Scholarship,

the probability of obtaining a Merit Scholarship is as follows;

P(M) = P(A ∪ M) + P(A ∩ M) - P(A)

P(M) = 0.3 + 0.11 - 0.18 = 0.23

P(M) = 0.23

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
