ffice building in New York City. The company believes it has a​ 40% chance of winning the hotel bid and a​ 25% chance of winning the office building bid. The company also believes that winning the hotel bid is independent of winning the office building bid. What is the probability the company will win at least one​ contract?

Answer: Our required probability is 0.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that chance of winning the hotel bid = 40%

Probability that no chance of winning the hotel bid = 100-40=60%

Probability that chance of winning the office building bid = 25%

Probability that no chance of winning the office building bid = 100-25 = 75%

So, Probability that the company will win at least one contract is given by

0.4\times 0.75+0.6\times 0.25+0.4\times 0.25\\\\=0.55

Hence, our required probability is 0.55.

What's the difference between two whole number 1/2 percent of 36 and 30% of 10<br>​
AlexFokin [52]

Here, we proceed step by step, to obtain our answer,

\frac{1}{2}  % of 36 can be written as ,

0.5 % of 36 , which means,

100 % refers to 36, then

0.5 % refers to what,  thus, by cross multiplication we get,

0.5 % of 36 =  \frac{0.5 X 36}{100} = 0.18 ___(1), which can be expressed in whole numbers as 0.

Now, 30 % of 10 means,

100 % refers to 10, then

30 % refers to what,  thus, by cross multiplication we get,

30 % of 10 = \frac{30 X 10}{100} = 3 __(2)

From equations (1)  and (2),

the whole numbers that we obtain are 0 and 3, respectively,

Thus the difference between these two whole numbers is,

= 3 - 0 = 3.

Without using a calculator determine the number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x -6
hodyreva [135]
Try this:
x³+4x²+x-6=0
1) To re-write the equation into form:
1*x³+4*x²+1*x-6=0, the note 1+4+1=6, it means x=1
2) to re-write the equation into form:
(x-1)(x²+5x+6)=0
(x-1)(x+2)(x+3)=0
3)
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x-1=0\\x+2=0\\x+3=0\end{array}\right \ \ \textless \ =\ \textgreater \   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x=1\\x=-2\\x=-3\end{array}\right
Answer: -3;-2;1.
