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

A footbridge is in the shape of an arc of a circle. the bridge is 10 ft tall and 27 ft long, horizontally. what is the radius of

lilavasa [31]

See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
<span>the bridge is 10 ft tall and 27 ft long, horizontally
so
BC=10 ft
DE=27 ft---------> DC=27/2----> 13.5 ft
DA=r (radius of the circle)
AC=r-10

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
DA</span>²=DC²+AC²<span> ------> r</span>²=13.5²+(r-10)²----> r²=182.25+r²-20r+100
20r=282.25--------> r=14.11 ft

the answer is
r=14.11 ft

The graph looks accurate make sure you create a table of values and clearly dot the points at (0,-3) and (2,-3).

Determine the holes, vertical asymptotes, and horizontal asymptotes of the rational function y=3x^2+10x-8/x^2+7x+12

kompoz [17]

There would be a hole when x = -4.

If you factor both the top and the bottom, you will see that the factor (x + 4) is in both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, the would be a hole when x = -4 because that would also make the denominator 0.
