If one of the 255 subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the person is over 40 and prefers cola.
1 answer:
The probability that the person is over 40 and prefers cola exists at 1.3725.
<h3>What is probability?</h3>The probability of an event exists in the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.
The size of the sample space exists the entire number of possible outcomes.
The event space exists the number of outcomes in the event you exists interested in.
So, P = size of the event space/size of the sample space
To estimate the probability that the person exists over 40 years.
Size of the sample size = 255
Size of the event space = 85
P = 85/255
P = 1/3
To estimate the probability that they drink cola.
Size of the sample size = 255
Size of the event space = 95
P = 95/255
P = 19/51
To estimate the probability that the person exists over 40 years of age or that they drink cola
So, P = (1/3) + (19/51)
P = 1.3725
Therefore, the probability that the person is over 40 and prefers cola exists at 1.3725.

Answer:
On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 3) and (2, 4) and another line goes through (0, 3) and (0.75, 0).
This answer almost coincide with option C. I suppose there was a mistype.
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations is formed by:
–x + 2y = 6
4x + y = 3
In the picture attached, the solution set is shown.
The first equation goes through (0, 3) and (2, 4), as can be checked by:
–(0) + 2(3) = 6
–(2) + 2(4) = 6
The second goes through (0, 3) and (0.75, 0), as can be checked by:
4(0) + (3) = 3
4(0.75) + (0) = 3
