Answer:

a) 0.03

b) 0.68

c) 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

B: companies in the area of biotechnology

I: companies in the area of information technology

P(B) = 0.2

P(I) = 0.15

The two events are given to be independent.

a) P(both companies become profitable)

P(B\cap I) = P(B)\times P(I)\\= 0.2\times 0.15 = 0.03

0.03 is the probability that both companies become profitable

b) P(neither company becomes profitable)

P(B'\cap I')\\=P(B')\times P(I')\\=(1-P(B))(1-P(I))\\=(1-0.2)(1-0.15)\\=0.68

0.68 is the probability that neither company becomes profitable.

c) P(at least one of the two companies become profitable)

P(B\cup I) = P(B) + P(I) - P(B\cap I)\\= 0.2 + 0.15 - 0.03\\=0.32

0.32 is the probability that at least one of the two companies become profitable

What is the mean ? i don’t need work but it could help
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The median is the middle number; found by ordering all data points and picking out the one in the middle.

You want to put the numbers in order:

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

Then you go one number at a time from both ends until you get into the middle:

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

47, 49, 49, 50, 52, 57, 57, 57, 61

So the answer is 52.

Tip: when you do this and you are left with two numbers that are in the middle, add them and divide them by 2.

Ms. Johnson buys a family-size bag of chips. She gives 20% to Jackie. Another 20% to Ronald. Ms. Johnson gives 1/4 to Mark and S
Kobotan [32]

Answer: 17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of chips given to Jackie = 20%

Percentage of chips given to Ronald = 20%

Percentage of chips given to Mark = 1/4 × 100 = 25%

From the above calculation, we can see that Ms Johnson has given out ((20% + 20% + 25%) = 65% worth of chips out. The percentage she'll have left will be:

= 100 - 65

= 35%

Since Susan takes half of what's left, the percent that Ms. Johnson has left to eat will be:

= 1/2 × 35%

= 17.5%

She has 17.5% left to eat.

Does anyone know the equation to this graph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The equation of this graph can be written in slope intercept form which is what I am assuming you want.  If you do not want that form you can convert to any other form that you so desire.  The slope intercept equation for this graph would be y = -1x - 2.  The -1 is the slope of the line and the -2 is the y intercept.

Y/3 - 9 = 12 And tell me how to show work pls.
ella [17]

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

so y/3 - 9 = 12, add 9 on both sides and you get y/3 = 21. Then you multiply both sides by 3, y/3 * 3, the 3's cancel out, 21 * 3 = 63. You get y = 63

So basically just do + 9 on both sides then *3 on both sides (do it step by step)
