We need to find the probability of the event:

having blue eyes or blond hair

This event is the union of the events:

A: having blue eyes.

B: having blond hair.

So, we need to find the probability P(A ∪ B). In order to do so, we can use the following formula:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

We know that the probability of the intersection of A and B (having both) is

P(A ∩ B) = 24%

Also:

P(A) = 43%

P(B) = 46%

Then, using those values into the above formula, we find:

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A ∪ B) = 43% + 46% - 24%

P(A ∪ B) = (43 + 46 - 24)%

P(A ∪ B) = 65%

These tables represent continuous functions. In which table do the values represent an exponential function.
Dennis_Churaev [7]
If you look at all 4 of these tables. Exponential means a large increase or gradual increase so. With that in mind if you look at table 1, the y column only increases by 5. For B, the y column only increases by 1. For C, the y column increase by 4 then 8 then 16 then 32. Therefore it is exponential. For D it is consistently an increase of 8.

Hope this helps!

Raina's penny bank is  1/4  full. After she adds  360  pennies, it is  5/8  full. How many pennies can Raina's bank hold? ​
Triss [41]

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the variable "x". Let's call "x" Raina's penny bank.

After adding 360 pennies, at the end, she has 5/8x, or 5/8.

So we start with

(1/4)x + 360 = 5/8x

Let's subtract 1/4x from both sides

360 = 5/8x - 1/4x

Remember, we need to use common denominators to subtract, so 1/4 becomes 2/8

360 = 5/8x - 2/8x

Now we simplify to get

360=3/8x

Multiply the reciprocal of 3/8 to both sides which is 8/3

360 * 8/3 = x

Answer is 960 pennies.

Therefore Raina's bank hold 960 pennies.
