The probability that the person is a man or heavy smoker is 621 / 1124.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0. The more likely the event is to happen, the closer the probability value would be to 1. The less likely it is for the event not to happen, the closer the probability value would be to zero.

The probability that the respondent is a man or heavy smoker can be determined by adding the probability that the respondent is a man and the probability that the respondent is a heavy smoker together.

The probability that the person is a man or heavy smoker = (number of men / total number of respondents) + (number of heavy smokers / total number of respondents)

(531 / 1124) + (90 / 1124) = 621 / 1124

A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solutuion A and Solution B. Each contains salt. She knows that Solutuion A
ratelena [41]

a = amount (in oz) of solution A

b = amount of solution B

The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so

a + b = 110

Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So

0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5

Solve for a and b:

b = 110 - a

0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5

0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5

0.25 a = 16.5

a = 66  ==>  b = 44

Uwu this isnt a test but its practiceee
igor_vitrenko [27]

<u>Answer</u>: B, (-3/2, -1)


<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When you use the midpoint formula, (x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2) you end up taking one away from -4, and dividing it by 2 (-3/2), and when you add 2 to -4, you get -2, divided by 2, is -1.
