Although the rules of probability are just basic facts about percents or proportions, we need to be able to use the language of

events and their probabilities. Choose an American adult aged 20 years and over at random. Define two events:
A= the person chosen is obese
B= the person chosen is overweight, but not obese
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, P(A) = 0.38 and P(B) =0.33.

a. Select the correct description stating what the event A or B is

a. A or B is the event that the person chosen is not obese or not overweight.
b. A or B is the event that the person chosen is overweight or obese or both.
c. A or B is the event that the person chosen is overweight and obese.
d. A or B is the event that the person is overweight or obese

What is P(A or B)?

a. P(A or B)= 0.02
b. P(A or B)= 0.34
c. P(A or B)= 0.71
d. P(A or B)= 0.55

c. If C is the event that the person chosen has normal weight or less, what is P(C)?

a. P(C)= 0.29
b. P(C)= 0.66
c. P(C) = 0.68
d. P(C)= 0.45

Answer:

a) Option D is correct for this question.

That is, A or B is the event that the person is overweight or obese.

But for other questions whose sets aren't disjoint, event A or B usually means all the elements that are in either A or B or both sets.

b) Option C.

P(A or B) = 0.71

c) Option A

P(C) = 1 - P(A or B) = 0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

b) Event B specifically rules out obesity, meaning, set A and set B have no elements in common.

In a normal probability question, event A or B usually means all the elements that are in either A or B and elements that are in the two sets.

But for this question, since, it has been made clear that there are no common elements in the two sets, event A or B is event that the person is overweight or obese. Option D.

b) For disjoint sets, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.38 + 0.33 = 0.71. Option C.

c) P(C) is the set of all elements that are not in either A or B.

P(C) = 1 - P(A or B) = 1 - 0.71 = 0.29. Option A.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

9. A. -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug the points into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1. In this case, I chose the points (0,-2) and (4,-3). This would make the equation -3--2/4-0. This would be equal to -3+2/4 or -1/4. Therefore, the slope is -1/4.

Triangle abc is similar to triangle qrs. what is the length of rq
aivan3 [116]
If the two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

That means that the length of RQ is the same as the corresponding side from triangle ABC.

Hope this helps :)

Prove that two non-zero vectors are collinear if and only if one vector is a scalar multiple of the other.
erastovalidia [21]

The Prove that two non-zero vectors are collinear if and only if one vector is a scalar multiple of the other is given below.

<h3>What are the proves?</h3>

1.  To know  collinear vectors:

∧ ⁻a ║ ⁻a

If  ⁻b = ∧ ⁻a

then |⁻b| = |∧ ⁻a|

So one can say that  line ⁻b and ⁻a are  collinear.

2.  If ⁻a and ⁻b  are collinear

Assuming |b| length  is  'μ' times of |⁻a |

Then | 'μ' ⁻a| = | 'μ' ⁻a|

So  ⁻b = 'μ' ⁻a
