Answer:

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

It would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 13.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger, so P(A) = 0.13.

In​ addition, there is a 15.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male comma given that he or she jogs. I am going to say that P(B) is the probability that is a male. P(B/A) is the probability that the person is a male, given that he/she jogs. So P(B/A) = 0.156

The Bayes theorem states that:

P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which P(A \cap B) is the probability that the person does both thigs, so, in this problem, the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

So

P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B/A) = 0.156*0.139 = 0.217

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

A probability is unusual when it is smaller than 5%.

So it would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Okay so instead of dividing you will cross multiply.
4n(15)=84(5)

Andre45 [30]
<h3>Answer: 722.5792 square centimeters</h3>

Work Shown:

112 \text{ in}^2 = 112 \text{ in}^2 \times \frac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in}} \times \frac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in}}\\\\112 \text{ in}^2 = (112 \times 2.54 \times 2.54) \text{ cm}^2\\\\112 \text{ in}^2 = 112 \times (2.54)^2 \text{ cm}^2\\\\112 \text{ in}^2 = 722.5792 \text{ cm}^2\\\\

Notes:

  • 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly
  • The conversion factor \frac{2.54 \text{ cm}}{1 \text{ in}} is used to convert from inches to cm. The inches unit in the denominator cancels with one of the inches unit from the original 112 square inches figure.
  • We use two identical copies of the same conversion factor to convert from square inches to square centimeters. This is the "multple conversion" your teacher is referring to.
  • Think of "square inches", aka \text{in}^2, as "inches times inches". Or think of a 1 inch by 1 inch square that has an area of 1 square inch. The same applies for the square centimeter unit as well.
