- Although Pythagoras preceded William Shakespeare by 2,000 years, the philosophy of the Pythagoreans is mentioned in Shakespears The Merchant of Venice. Here is a quote from that play: Thou almost makst me waver in my faith, To hold opinion will Pythagoras, That souls of animals infuse themselves Into the trunks of men. Research the Pythagoreans. What were the main beliefs held by their society? What part of the philosophy of the Pythagoreans was Shakespeare referring to specifically with this quote? What present-day religions share a similar belief? Write a paragraph or two about your findings.arrow_forwardno The average salary of 12 male employees is 550 JD and the average salary of 8 female employees is 420 JD, then the average salary among all these emplyees is O a. 505 JD O b. 485 JD O C. 498 JD O d. 484 JD O e. 495 JDarrow_forwardSuppose there are 120 students in a veterinary school.

- No need for thorough Explanation. The research department of a five-star hotel conducted a survey. It found that among 2230 guests, 1540 tip the front desk officers, 1192 tip the bellboys, 938 tip the maids, 250 tip the maids and the bellboys, 710 tip the front desk officers and the maids, 735 tip the front desk officers and the bellboys, 195 tip all the three personnel. How many of the surveyed guests tip exactly two of the three services? How many of the surveyed guests tip only the front desk officers? How many of the surveyed guests tip only the three services? How many of the guests do not give tip to any of the services? How many of the surveyed guests tip at least two of the three services?arrow_forwardFrom a total of six men and four ladies a committee of three is to be formed.

(Hint: Draw a sketch. Assume each route can pass through a city at most one time.) (a) How many routes from North Point to Star Lake pass through Beaver Dam? To answer this question, think of creating a route from North Point to Star Lake that passes through Beaver Dam as a 3-step process. Step 1: Choose a route from North Point to Select- Step 2: Choose a route from-Select- v to Beaver Dam. Step 3: Choose a route from Beaver Dam to Star Lake. There are choices for step 1, choices for step 2, and choices for step 3. Thus, the answer is (b) How many routes from North Point to Star Lake bypass Beaver Dam?arrow_forward
