A survey of top executives revealed that 35% of them regularly read time magazine, 20% read newsweek, and 40% read u.s. news &am
ioda

Answer: The probability that  a particular top executive reads either time or US news and world report regularly is 0.65

Explanation: Let's say TM represents Time Magazine, NS represents Newsweek, and UW represents U.S news & World report.

Probability of TM readers (P.TM) = 0.35

Probability of UW readers (P.UW) = 0.40

Probability of both TM and UW readers (P.TM ∩ P.UW) = 0.10

Probability of both TM or UW readers (P.TM ∪ P.UW) = ?

Given the probability equation of:

(P.TM ∪ P.UW) = (P.TM) + (P.UW) - (P.TM ∩ P.UW)

= 0.35 + 0.40 - 0.10

= 0.65

Therefore the probability that  a particular top executive reads either time or US news and world report regularly is 0.65

Which of the following is a benefit of determining your personal vision:
labwork [276]

Answer:     the difference between two numbers can be obtained by subtracting the smaller number from the bigger number.

• Here, - 0.4 is the smaller number, and 44.4 is the larger number.

• Therefore, the difference between the two is 44.4 - (- 0.4).

• Now, in mathematics, - and - makes a +.

This implies that, 44.4 - (- 0.4) = 44.4 + 0.4 = 44.8

∴   The required difference is 44.8.

To make your business messages more effective, revise for vigor and directness. You can strengthen your writing by unburying ver
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A" and "D": The entire team engaged in the preparation of the proposal Paul submitted on Wednesday; I’ll make an assumption that Lisa received the e-mail.

Explanation:

Buried verbs are actions that were converted into noun expressions typically to give more emphasis in the action performed. However, buried verbs night provide a redundant sense to the message intended to be provided. To give clear messages, the buried verb should be unburied by simplifying it without changing meaning in the whole segment. Thus:

  • <em>The entire team </em><u><em>engaged in the preparation</em></u><em> of the proposal Paul submitted on Wednesday.</em>
  • <em>The entire team </em><em>prepared</em><em> for the proposal Paul submitted on Wednesday.</em>

<em />

  • <em>I’ll </em><u><em>make an assumption</em></u><em> that Lisa received the e-mail.</em>
  • <em>I'll </em><em>assume</em><em> Lisa received the e-mail.</em>
