Final answer:
The number of students who got an A in Discrete Mathematics only in the class is 16, obtained by subtracting the number of students who got an A in both Discrete Mathematics and Software Engineering from the total number of students who received an A in Discrete Mathematics.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of students who got an A in Discrete Mathematics only, we need to subtract the students who got an A in both subjects from the total number of students who got an A in Discrete Mathematics.
The formula to calculate the number of students who got an A only in one subject (Discrete Mathematics in this case) is:
Number of students with A in Discrete Mathematics only = Total students with A in Discrete Mathematics - Students with A in both Discrete Mathematics and Software Engineering.
Given the numbers are:
- Total students with A in Discrete Mathematics = 44
- Students with A in both Discrete Mathematics and Software Engineering = 28
So, the calculation is:
44 (Discrete Mathematics A's) - 28 (Both Discrete Mathematics and Software Engineering A's) = 16.
Therefore, the number of students who got an A in Discrete Mathematics only is 16.
