Answer: 0.206

Step-by-step explanation: the probability of employees that needs corrective shoes are =8%= 8/100 = 0.08

Probability of employees that needs major dental work = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Probability of employees that needs both corrective shoes and dental work = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (Probability an employee will need correct shoes and not need dental work) or (probability that an employee will need dental work or not corrective shoes)

Probability of employee not needing corrective shoes = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

Probability of employee not needing dental work = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (0.08×0.85) + (0.15×0.92) = 0.068 + 0.138 = 0.206 = 20.6%

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or dental work = 0.206.

Please note that the word "either" implies that we must choose one of the two options (corrective shoes or dental work) and not both.

What is the absolute value equation for this graph?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

y = -|x +2| +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function y=|x| is shifted to the left 2 units, so x is replaced by x+2. It is reflected across the x-axis, so is multiplied by -1: -|x+2|. It is shifted up 4 units, so has 4 added to it:

y = -|x+2| + 4

How to solve for x and y
Minchanka [31]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The values of </em><em>x and y are 20° and 30</em><em>, respectively.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

As in the given triangle all the angles are same so it must a equilateral triangle.

In an equilateral triangle all the measurements of the angles and side length are same. The measurement of the angels are 60°.

As given in the question one side length is 46, so all the side length are same.

So,

\Rightarrow y+16=46\\\\\Rightarrow y=46-16\\\\\Rightarrow y=30

We know that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles. 80° is the exterior angle opposite to x and one angle of triangle at the top vertex.

\Rightarrow 80^{\circ}=x+60^{\circ}

\Rightarrow x=80^{\circ}-60^{\circ}

\Rightarrow x=20^{\circ}

Therefore, the values of x and y are 20° and 30, respectively.
