Suppose a number from 1 to 100 is selected at random. what is the probability that a multiple of 4 or 5 is chosen?

1 answer:

3 0

The range 1-100 is 100 numbers, divide by 4 and 5 to find the number of multiples.
100/4 = 25
100/5 = 20

probability of choosing multiple of 4
25/100 = 1/4
probability of choosing multiple of 5
20/100 = 1/5

the probabilities are not mutually exclusive because there are duplicate numbers, (overlap) multiples of both 4 and 5 being counted twice. 5/100 = 1/20
20, 40, 60, 80, 100

when "or" is used, add the probabilities, subtract the duplicates.

1/4 + 15 - 1/20 =
5/20 + 4/20 - 1/20 = 8/20 = 2/5

Answer:

$g(2)=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

since g(x) is equal to $x^2+1$ , you just plug in the value of 2 for x, to get $2^2+1$ , and 2 to the power of 2 (also known as 2 squared) is equal to 4, which makes your equation $4+1$ , which equals 5.
