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.

 Solve the system of inequalities and indicate all the integers which are in the solution set:
elena-s [515]
1.) a>10
2.) a<3.5
How I got it: 1.) Subtract 3 from both sides, leaving -2a<10.
2.) Divide by -2 from both sides, remember to flip the inequality sign when dealing with negatives. This leaves you with a>10.
For number 2.) I divided both sides by 5, leaving a<3.5, though this answer may be wrong.

What is the product?
fredd [130]

Answer:

\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }  ×  \frac{k-2}{2k+1}   =  \frac{2}{k + 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }  ×  \frac{k-2}{2k+1}

To solve the above, we need to follow the steps below;

4k+2 can be factorize, so that;

4k +2 = 2 (2k + 1)

k² - 4  can also be be expanded, so that;

k² - 4 = (k-2)(k+2)

Lets replace  4k +2  by  2 (2k + 1)

and

k² - 4 by  (k-2)(k+2)   in the expression  given

\frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }  ×  \frac{k-2}{2k+1}

\frac{2(2k+ 1)}{(k-2)(k+2)}   ×  \frac{k-2}{2k+1}

(2k+1) at the numerator will cancel-out (2k+1) at the denominator, also (k-2) at the numerator will cancel-out (k-2) at the denominator,

So our expression becomes;  

\frac{2}{k + 2}

Therefore, \frac{4k + 2}{k^{2}-4 }  ×  \frac{k-2}{2k+1}   =  \frac{2}{k + 2}
