Do the ratios 42/56 and 56/64 form a proportion? if they do explain your answer

1 answer:

4 0

Lets check...

42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional

proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional

Find the indicated probability.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

P(A or B) = 0.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question of Venn probabilities.

We use the following relation to solve this question.

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$

The exercise states that:

$P(A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.6, P(A \cap B) = 0.4$

Then

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.7 + 0.6 - 0.4 = 0.9$

The answer is:

P(A or B) = 0.9.
