The probability that both of them go back to prison is 4.48%.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>
  • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.
  • Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty.
  • We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e., how likely they are going to happen, using it.
  • The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates the impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

The state recidivism rate is given by 22%.

So, the probability that both of the prisoners will go back to prison will be:

  • = 22% × 22%
  • = 0.22 × 0.22
  • = 4.84%

Hence, the probability that both of them go back to prison is 4.48%.

Use the relationship between the angles in the figure to answer the question.
Brut [27]

Answer:

​x + 49 + 28 = 180​

Step-by-step explanation:

​The angles on a straight line with x° are 28° and 49° respectively, side by side with x°. This is because, vertical angles are equal. Therefore, the angle vertically opposite 28° and 49° are equal to 28° and 49° respectively.

Therefore, since angles on a straight line is 180°, thus:

​x + 49 + 28 = 180​
