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.

Sally has twice as many dimes as nickels. The total value is $3.50 how many nickels and dimes does she have?
Murljashka [212]
D=2n
.05n+.1d=3.5
I multiplied the nickels and dimes by these values because that is their actual monetary value 
.05n=3.5-.1d
multiply everything by 20
n=70-2d
d/2=70-2d
.5d+2d=70 
2.5d=70
d=28 
n=14 
so there are <u>28 dimes and 14 nickels 
</u>
checking this answer 
28 dimes = $2.8
14 nickels = .70
2.8+.7=3.5
