Answer:

   D.  0.098

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of all choices must total 1, so we have ...

  p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed) + p(divorced) = 1

  p(divorced) = 1 - (p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed))

  = 1 - (0.239 + 0.595 + 0.068) = 1 - 0.902

  p(divorced) = 0.098

Burger King sells burgers for $3.50 per burger. On Fridays, you can buy 2 burgers and get 1 free. They sold 500 burgers in 1 wee
faust18 [17]

Answer:

More information is needed, maximum weekly profit is $1750.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum profit would assume Burger King does not sell any burgers on Friday, therefore all 500 burgers were sold at $3.50. 500*$3.50 = $1750 in maximum earnings for the week. More information is needed about the split between the burgers sold over the week.

Maybe the question was trying to say 500 burgers were sold on Friday. In that case, assuming every customer got three burgers, 500/3 = 166.6 customers, rounding down because you cannot have half a customer, 166 customers on Friday. Each customer paid for two burgers 166*2*$3.50 = $1162 in earnings on Friday.

The answer is C) 67

Angle FGE is a right angle so it is 90 degrees and angle AGF is the same as CGD so it is 23 degrees.

Add angle FGE and angle AGF together (90 + 23 = 113) and subtract that by 180 (180 - 113 = 67)
