The probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges is 0.51.

Given probability that he will admit in A is 0.7, probability that he will not be admit in B is 0.5, probability that atleast one of his applications got rejected is 0.6.

We have to find the probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges.

Probability that he will admit in A =0.7

Probability that he will not admit in A=1-0.7=0.3

Probability that he will not admit in B =0.5

Probability that he will admit in B=1-0.5=0.5

Probability  that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges=probability that he will admit in A* probability that he will not admit in B+ probability that he will admit in B* probability that he will not admit in A+ probability that he will not admit in A* probability that he will not admit in B

=0.7*0.5+0.5*0.3+0.5*0.3

=0.35+0.15+0.15

=0.51

Hence the probability that he will be rejected to at least one of the colleges is 0.51.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

74,000

Step-by-step explanation:

In the year where he got 104,000 the year before he got 6,000 less. The year before 98,000 he got 12,000 less which means that now it would just be 86,000-12,000=74,000

I think this is right but you can double check on a calculator

Hope this helped!

diamong [38]

Answer:

a rental car agency charges a flat rate fee of $32.00 plus $3.00 per day to rent a certain car

c = 32 + 3d

another agency charges a fee of $30.50 plus $3.25 per day to rent the same car

c = 30.50 + 3.25d

the number of days for which the cost are the same means

32 + 3d = 30.50 + 3.25d

by solving we find   d = 6 days
