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.

Tcecarenko [31]
Add the 18, 16, and 8 together
Then subtract that number from 50.

18+16+8=42
50-42=8

So, 8 patrons don't like either.

For what values of x is f(x) = |x + 1| differentiable? I'm struggling my butt off for this course
pav-90 [236]

By definition of absolute value, you have

f(x) = |x+1| = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x+1\ge0 \\ -(x+1)&\text{if }x+1

or more simply,

f(x) = \begin{cases}x+1&\text{if }x\ge-1\\-x-1&\text{if }x

On their own, each piece is differentiable over their respective domains, except at the point where they split off.

For <em>x</em> > -1, we have

(<em>x</em> + 1)<em>'</em> = 1

while for <em>x</em> < -1,

(-<em>x</em> - 1)<em>'</em> = -1

More concisely,

f'(x) = \begin{cases}1&\text{if }x>-1\\-1&\text{if }x

Note the strict inequalities in the definition of <em>f '(x)</em>.

In order for <em>f(x)</em> to be differentiable at <em>x</em> = -1, the derivative <em>f '(x)</em> must be continuous at <em>x</em> = -1. But this is not the case, because the limits from either side of <em>x</em> = -1 for the derivative do not match:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^-}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(-1) = -1

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1^+}f'(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}1 = 1

All this to say that <em>f(x)</em> is differentiable everywhere on its domain, <em>except</em> at the point <em>x</em> = -1.

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 3and 4 and that the angle between these two sides is 60. What is the length of the th
tangare [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A.  √13

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make an educated guess and come to the right conclusion.

The triangle is nearly an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two sides 3 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 3. A triangle with two sides of 4 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 4.

So, the third side must be between 3 and 4. Here is an evaluation of the answer choices:

__

A -- between 3 and 4, the correct choice

B -- 3, too short

C -- 1.73, too short

D -- more than 4, too long

__

The question can be answered using your triangle solver app on your calculator, or using the Law of Cosines.

  c = √(a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C))

  c = √(3^2 +4^2 -2·3·4·(1/2)) = √(9 +16 -12)

  c = √13 . . . . . length of the side opposite the 60° angle

I dont get this at all
zhenek [66]
Continuous vs discrete is if you can count vs. measure the results. For example: you can run 13. 5 miles but you can't have 13.5 dogs. Miles (measurable) are continuous while dogs (countable) are discrete. 

Qualitative results are when a result is not a number, and qualitative is when the result is a number. For example: if you're doing a lab and a result is either going to be "blue" or "green", that's qualitative, since those aren't number values. However, if you were measuring distance, that would be qualitative, since you would get a result of "6 meters" or "2.5 inches", which are numerical values. 

The scale of measurement are the units in which you are measuring something it. For example: distance has units of inches, feet, miles, etc... and weight has units of grams, kilograms, tons, etc...

Hope this helps! -Alex :)
