Answer:

(a) 0.48

(b) 0.20

(c) it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino.

Step-by-step explanation:

​(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino. ​

The probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the cassino is the product of the two probabilities, that a resident opposes the casino and that it strongly opposes the casino (once it is in the first group) as it is shown below.

Use this notation:

  • Probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino: P(A)

  • Probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it: P(B/A), because it is the probability of event B given the event A

i) Determine the <em>probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino</em>, P(A)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

  • P(A) is <em>given as 60%</em>, which in decimal form is 0.60

ii) Next, determine,the <em>probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it</em>, P(B/A):

  • It is given as 8 out of 10 ⇒ P(B/A) = 8/10

iii) You want the probability of both events, which is the joint probability or  intersection: P(A∩B).

So, you can use the definition of conditional probability:

  • P(B/A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

iv) From which you can solve for P(A∩B)

  • P(A∩B) = P(B/A)×P(A) =  (8/10)×(0.60) = 0.48

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

In this case, you just want the complement of the probability that <em>a radomly selected resident who opposes the casino does strongly oppose the casino</em>, which is 1 - P(B/A) = 1 - 8/10 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.

​(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino?

You are being asked about the joint probability (PA∩B), which you found in the part (a) and it is 0.48.

That is almost 0.50 or half of the population, so you conclude it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the​ casino.

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. ASAP PLS !!!!
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

y - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{1+1}{3-0} = \frac{2}{3}

and using (a, b) = (3, 1 ) , then

y - 1 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 3)

Max has 5.50. He has eight more quarters than he does nickels. He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels. How many quart
Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h2>There are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Max has $5.50.
  • He has eight more quarters than he does nickels.
  • He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels.

From these statements, we can deduce algebraical expressions to solve the problem. Let's call q quarters, n nickels and d dimes.

q=n+8 (8 more quarters than nickels)

d=4n (he has four times as many dimes as he has nickels).

0.25q+0.05n+0.10d=5.50 (Max has a total of $5.50, one quartes is $0.25, one nickel is $0.05 and one dime is $0.10).

Let's replace the first two expressions into the third equation

0.25(n+8)+0.05n+0.10(4n)=5.50\\0.25n+2+0.05n+0.40n=5.50\\0.70n=5.50-2\\n=\frac{3.50}{0.70}\\ n=5

There are 5 nickels.

Now, we use this value to find the number of quarters

q=5+8=13

There are 13 quarters.

Also, d=4(5)=20

There are 20 dimes.

Therefore, there are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.

What is the measure of angle XWY?
motikmotik

According to the vertical angle theorem when two lines intersects each other, the vertical angles that are formed are congruent to each other.

So, angle XWY is 74 degrees.

Hope this helps! Mark as Brainliest please! :)))
