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.

Two sides of an isosceles triangle measures 26 and 10. What is the possible value of the third side?
spin [16.1K]

The third side of the triangle is 26.

Explanation:  

Given:

Two sides of the isosceles  triangle are 26 and 10.  

To Find:

The possible value of the third side

Solution:

Definition of Isosceles  triangle:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. Isosceles triangle  has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

We also know the property of the triangle that  

Sum of two sides of triangle > third side of the triangle  

Case1. When third side is 10

Thee third side can’t be equal to 10 because it does not follow the rule of triangle  

10+10>26………which is  not possible

So the third side of the isosceles triangle is 26.

Factor each trinomial completely.<br> 4x^2 - 25b^2 and x^2 - 81
GenaCL600 [577]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x2 - 25b2

We can solve it by the squares so

(2x - 5b) (2x + 5b)

2) x2 - 81

The same case is here so

(x - 9) (x + 9)
