Answer:

0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all. let's recall probability formula needed for solving the problem.

We know that, If the events A and B are not mutually exclusive, the probability is:  

<em>probability of event (A or B) = probability of event A + probability of event B – p(A and B). </em>

This formula will be used in calculations of this problem.

Let's consider that event A is patient visiting physical therapist; event B is patient visiting chiropractor.

P (A∩B) = 0.22 (visiting both physical therapist and chiropractor) ⇔ p(A and B)

P(B) = P(A) + 0.14 [ Probability patient visiting chiropractor is 0.14 more than probability visiting physical therapist]

Patients visiting none of these is 12%

Those who visit either therapist or chiropractor are amount to 1 - 0.12 = 0.88

Now we should use the formula mentioned in the beginning of the text:

0.88 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.22 ⇒ P(A) + P(B) = 1.1

If we replace P(B) by P(A) + 0.14 ⇒ 2P(A) + 0.14 = 1.1 ⇒ 2P(A) = 1.1 - 0.14 = 0.96

So, P(A) = 0.96/2 = 0.48 [Probability of patients visiting therapist]

Determine the maximum number of zeros. Then, determine the x-intercepts of the function. x^3-3x^2-22x+24
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Three zeros x=-4,\ x=1,\ x=6

x-intercepts: (-4,0), (1,0), (6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the graph of the function y=x^3-3x^2-22x+24 on the coordinate plane. This graph intersects the x-axis at three different points (see attached diagram):

  • (-4,0);
  • (1,0);
  • (6,0).

This means x=-4,\ x=1,\ x=6 are zeros of the function y=x^3-3x^2-22x+24

A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

\frac{37}{19}* \frac{3}{1}= 37!\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}= 53017895700

The number of possible ways to choose 20 calculators out of 40 calculators will be:

\frac{40}{20}= \frac{40!}{20!(40-20!)}=137846528820

The chance will be: 53017895700/ 137846528820 = 0.3846= 38.46%

Okay add 78 and 66. Then add 96 and 108.  It should be 144 by 204. I know math  is hard, but when you work at it you can do amazing things! I hope that helps you.
