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.

A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 1.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

<h3>60°</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Circumference (C) = 6 units
  • Arc length (A) = 1 unit

<u>Find the central angle (</u><u>θ</u><u>)</u>

Arc is some part of circumference; thus,

the equation of arc length =

A = θ/360 × C

θ/360 = A/C

θ = (360×A)/C

θ = (360×1)/6

θ = 360 ÷ 6

<h3>θ = 60° ✅</h3>

Central angle = 60°
