<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

P = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

=========================================================

Explanation:

The formula we use is

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

In this case,

  • P(A) = 22/80 = 11/40 = probability of picking someone from consumer education
  • P(B) = 20/80 = 1/4 = probability of picking someone taking French
  • P(A and B) = 4/80 = 1/20 = probability of picking someone taking both classes

So,

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 11/40 + 1/4 - 1/20

which is why choice C is the answer

----------------

Note: P(A and B) = 1/20 which is nonzero, so events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

32x+5 = 3x - 3<br> Solving exponential equations
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

x = -8/29 = -0.276

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

1.1      Solve  :    29x+8 = 0

Subtract  8  from both sides of the equation :

                     29x = -8

Divide both sides of the equation by 29:

                    x = -8/29 = -0.276

One solution was found :

                  x = -8/29 = -0.276
