Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6.

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

30\% of the college students are over 21 years old.

Explanation:

Consider X be the event that a student is over 21 years old.

Consider Y be the event that a student drinks alcohol.

The probability of event X can be expressed as follows,

P\left( X \right) = 0.3

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years can be obtained  as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}&= P\left( X \right) \times P\left( {Y/X} \right)\\&= 0.3 \times 0.8\\&= 0.24\\\end{aligned}

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50 It is given that b = 82 Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50 or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50 $10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00 Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets

MArishka [77]

Answer: Choice A) 8.742 * 10^7

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

Work Shown:

(a * 10^b) \times (c * 10^d) = a*c*10^{b+d}\\\\(2.82 * 10^4) \times (3.1 * 10^3) = 2.82*3.1*10^{4+3}\\\\(2.82 * 10^4) \times (3.1 * 10^3) = 8.742*10^{7}\\\\

Extra info:

8.742 * 10^7 = 87,420,000

which is a little over 87.4 million
