Answer:

3. What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

A. 0.58

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

C. 0.3012

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that an adult has a landline at his residence.

B is the probability that an adult has a cell phone.

C is the probability that a mean is neither of those.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that an adult has a landline but not a cell phone and A \cap B is the probability that an adult has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

The sum of all the subsets is 1:

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

2% of adults have neither a cell phone nor a landline.

This means that C = 0.02.

73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B)

So A = 0.73, B = 0.83.

What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

This is A \cap B.

We have that A = 0.73. So

A = a + (A \cap B)

a = 0.73 - (A \cap B)

By the same logic, we have that:

b = 0.83 - (A \cap B).

So

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

0.73 - (A \cap B) + 0.83 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) + 0.02 = 1

(A \cap B) = 0.75 + 0.83 - 1 = 0.58

So the answer for question 3 is A.

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

83% of the adults have a cellphone.

We have that

b = B - (A \cap B) = 0.83 - 0.58 = 0.25

25% of those do not have a landline.

So P = \frac{0.25}{0.83} = 0.3012

The answer for question 4 is C.

Someone please help with this question please​

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Angle DAE = Angle BCE, lines AD amd BC are parallel (by Z-angles).

This means that Angle ADE = Angle CBE (by Z-angles).

We have 2 congruent angles and 1 congruent side (AD = BC, given).

By ASA congruence, triangles AED and CEB are congruent.

A fraction that is equivalent to -3/2 would be -9/6

A great form to prove this is by using a calculator and dividing -9 by 6 this should get you the answer of 1.5!

Hope this helps!

If D is the center of the circle below and AC measures 48, what is the measure of ABC
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we know that a circle must complete up to 180, then we have to:

180 - 48 = 132

Now knowing this distance we can also know the other, starting from the same concept, in addition to what the circle below is like, a semicircle refers to so we divide by 2:

(180-132) / 2 = 24

Therefore the answer is 24.

We can also do it ABC is half of ADC. So ABC = 48/2 = 24
