Answer:

0.098

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when filling out the 2000 Census, people could choose one of four options to describe their marital status.

Data from the 2000 Census were used to compute the following probabilities

Marital status Never married Married widowed Divorced total

Prob           0.239          0.595      0.068     0.098 1

Actually we were not given probability for divorced but using total probability =1 we arrived at the probability for divorced as

1-sum of the remaining probabilities

=1-0.239-0.535-0.068\\=0.098

the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is divorced

= 0.098

Okay. For these types of problems, you must do order of operations (PEMDAS). Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. Mind you that you do these steps from left to right, and multiplication and division is done from left to right. Same thing with addition and subtraction. With that being said, here are your answers if you do the expressions correctly.

The speed of the current in a creek is 2mph. A person can kayak 10 mi upstream in the same time that it takes him to kayak 14 mi
ad-work [718]

Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For a kayak speed of k miles per hour in still water, the speed upstream is (k-2) and the speed downstream is (k+2). Over the distances given, the times are the same, so we can write ...

  10/(k-2) = 14/(k+2)

Multiplying by (k+2)(k-2) gives ...

  10(k+2) = 14(k -2)

  10k +20 = 14k -28 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 4k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 28-10k

  12 = k

Then the time for 28 miles downstream is ...

  time = 28 / (12 +2) = 2 . . . . hours

It will take the person 2 hours to kayak 28 miles downstream.
