The events "male” and "buys lunch” are not independent because P(male | buys lunch) = 0.4 and P(male) = 0.3.

<h3>Complete question</h3>

James surveyed people at school and asked whether they bring their lunch to school or buy their lunch at school more often. The results are shown below.

Bring lunch: 46 males, 254 females

Buy lunch: 176 males, 264 females

The events "male" and "buys lunch" are not independent because

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The number of male students is:

Male = 46 + 176

Male = 222

The number of female students is:

Female = 254 + 264

Female = 518

The total student is:

Total = 222 + 518

Total = 740

Next, calculate the probability of selecting a male student

P(Male) = 222/740

P(Male) = 0.3

Of all the 440 that buy lunch, 176 are male,

So, we have:

P(male | buy lunch) = 176 / 440

P(male | buy lunch) = 0.4

Because

P(male | buy lunch) and P(male) are not equal.

Then, the events "male” and "buys lunch” are not independent

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Find the measure of the smallest angle.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(2x+18) degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a total of 180 degrees, so you would do:

(2x+18)+55+(4x+11)=180

(2x+4x)+(18+55+11)=180           <- take out parentheses and add like terms

6x+84=180                         <- subtract 84 from both sides of the equation

6x=96                                    <- divide 6 from each side

x=16

Now that you know what x is you would plug it into each of the angles

Angle 1: 2x+18 --> 2(16)+18= 32+18= 50

Angle 2: 55

Angle 3: 4x+11 --> 4(16)+18= 64+18= 82

Then out of these three angles of the triangle, angle 1 (2x+18) would be the smallest.
