Answer: The required inequality is,

4.75 b +3.50 ≤ 15.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, b represents the number of bags of fruit bought by her,

Since, the cost of each bag of fruits = $ 4.75,

⇒ The cost of b bags of fruit = 4.75b dollars,

Also, she buy one box of crackers that costs $3.50,

Thus, her total expenditure = 4.75 b + 3.50

According to the question,

Her total expenditure can not exceed to $ 15.00,

⇒  4.75 b + 3.50 ≤ 15.00

Which is the required inequality that is used to determine the maximum number of bags of fruit bought by her.

First write the inequality:    15\leq4.75x +3.50

Then to solve, first subtract 3.50 from both sides to get:

11.50\leq4.75x

Then divide by 4.75 to get 2.42, and since you can't buy .42 of a bag  of fruit, you round down. So your final answer would be 2 bags of fruit.

Answer:

a) 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.

b) 0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Venn's Equations for probabilities.

I am going to say that:

P(A) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food.

P(B) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

0.12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.12

0.27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

This means that P(B) = 0.27

0.39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food

This means that P(A) = 0.39

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both (to 2 decimals)?

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.39 + 0.27 - 0.12 = 0.54

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.

b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons (to 2 decimals)?

p = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.54 = 0.46

0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Answer:

Probability that both such alarms fail is 0.03027

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability the alarm fails = 0.174       (this is calculated by dividing the percentage by 100 like:   17.4/100)

Probability that both such alarms fail = 0.174 * 0.174 = 0.03027
