A survey of 1,000 men and women asked, "Do you earn over $50,000 per year?" The table below shows the responses for males and fe

males:
Male Female Total
Income over $50,000 475 375 850
Income below $50,000 75 75 150
Total 550 450 1,000


Based on these data, are "being female" and "earning over $50,000" independent events?
Yes, P(being female | the person earns over $50,000) = P(being female)
Yes, P(being female | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ P(being female)
No, P(being female | the person earns over $50,000) = P(being female)
No, P(being female | the person earns over $50,000) ≠ P(being female)

Based on the data, it is found that "being female" and "earning over $50,000" are not independent events. the correct answer is option D.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) P(B)

In this problem, the events are:

  • Event A: Being female.
  • Event B: Earning over $50,000.

Out of the 1000 people, 450 are female, hence:

P(A) = \dfrac{450}{1000} = 0.45

850 earn over $50,000, hence:

P(B) = \dfrac{850}{1000} = 0.85

375 are women who earn over $50,000, hence:

P(A \cap B)  = \dfrac{375}{1000} = 0.375

The multiplication of the probabilities is:

P(A \cap B)  = 0.45(0.85} = 0.3825

Therefore based on the data, it is found that "being female" and "earning over $50,000" are not independent events. the correct answer is option D.

Traveling m miles on this taxi costs

c=2.5+3.25m

In fact, we spend 2.50 no matter what, and then we add 3.25 (i.e. the cost of a mile) multiplied by the number of miles.

This quantity has to be less than or equal to 61, so we have

2.5+3.25m\leq 61

Solving for m, we start by subtracting 2.5 from both sides:

3.25m\leq 58.5

Then, we divide both sides by 3.25:

m\leq 18

In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle is 112 degrees. What is the measure of each base.
jeka94

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, hence

180° - 112° = 68°

base angle = \frac{68}{2} = 34°

Thus each base angle equals 34° → A

romanna [79]

Answer:

14 candy Bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's under the question before we attempt it.

Total number of Candy Brooklyn is supposed to sell = 20

Percentage of Candy Bars sold= 70%

To know the exact number of Candy sold, it's means we must know the exact value of 70% of 20.

To solve this, we just proceed with mathematical operations.

Therefore:

70% of 20

= 70 / 100 * 20

= 1400 / 100

= 14.

It therefore means that, Brooklyn sold 14 Candy Bars
