Answer:

We use the formula:

S 10 = 8 · [(1/2)^9 - 1] / (1/2 - 1 );

Then, S 10 = 8 · ( 1/512 - 1 ) / ( 1/2 - 1 );

S 10 = 8 · ( - 511 / 512 ) / (-1 / 2 );

S 10 = ( - 511 / 64 ) · ( - 2 );

S 10 = + 511 / 32;

S 10 = 15.96;

The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that $P(A \cap B) = .12.$

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things: PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Please help, and plz don't be saying this is the right answer if u dont know for sure.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

135 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-7)+(12x+57)=180

combine like terms

20x+50 = 180

subtract 50 on both sides

20x = 130

divide by 20

x = 130/20

x = 13/2

x = 6.5

cpq = 12x+57

cpq = 78 + 57

cpq = 135
