Answer:
(A) The probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.688.
(B) The probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.312.
(C) The events "overweight" and "obese" exhaustive.
(D) The events "overweight" and "obese" mutually exclusive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the events as follows:
<em>X</em> = a person is overweight
<em>Y</em> = a person is obese.
The information provided is:
A person is overweight if they have BMI 25 or more but below 30.
A person is obese if they have BMI 30 or more.
P (X) = 0.331
P (Y) = 0.357
(A)
The events of a person being overweight or obese cannot occur together.
Since if a person is overweight they have (25 ≤ BMI < 30) and if they are obese they have BMI ≥ 30.
So, P (X ∩ Y) = 0.
Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese as follows:
Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.688.
(B)
Commute the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese as follows:
Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.312.
(C)
If two events cannot occur together, but they form a sample space when combined are known as exhaustive events.
For example, flip of coin. On a flip of a coin, the flip turns as either Heads or Tails but never both. But together the event of getting a Heads and Tails form a sample space of a single flip of a coin.
In this case also, together the event of a person being overweight or obese forms a sample space of people who are heavier in general.
Thus, the events "overweight" and "obese" exhaustive.
(D)
Mutually exclusive events are those events that cannot occur at the same time.
The events of a person being overweight and obese are mutually exclusive.
Option first and option second are correct because the common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>
It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.
The question is incomplete.
The question is:
What can be concluded about the sequences 19, 15, 11, 7, . . . represented on the graph? Check all that apply.
- The common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
- The slope of the graph is –4.
- The next term in the sequence is represented by point (4, 3).
- f(x) = –4x + 19 represents the sequence.
- An infinite number of points can be determined to follow this sequence.
The graph is attached to the picture please refer to the graph.
We have an arithmetic sequence:
19, 15, 11, 7,...
The first term is:
a = 19
Common difference d = 15-19 = -4
The nth term:
a(n) = 19 + (n-1)(-4)
a(n) = 19 -4n + 4
a(n) = -4n + 23
We can write above expression as:
f(x) = -4x + 23
Slope of the equation = -4
The correct options are:
- The common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
- The slope of the graph is –4.
Thus, an option first and option second are correct because the common difference of the sequence is the same as the slope of the graph.
