Suppose that in a certain county 37% of voters are registered as Democrats, 29% as Republicans, 7% as Green party, and the rest

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$0.66$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Suppose that in a certain county $37\%$ of voters are registered as Democrats, $29\%$ as Republicans, $7\%$ as Green party, and the rest are considered Independents. You conduct a poll by calling registered voters in the county at random.

TO FIND: Probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican.

SOLUTION:

Lets total population of county be $100x$ .

voters registered as Democrats $=37\%=\frac{37}{100}\times100x$

$=37x$

voters registered as Republicans $=29\%=\frac{29}{100}\times100x$

$=29x$

voters registered as Green party $=7\%=\frac{7}{100}\times100x$

$=7x$

Probability that first call will be to Democrats $P(A)=\frac{\text{total democrats}}{\text{total voters}}$

$=\frac{37x}{100x}=0.37$

Probability that first call will be to Republican $P(B)=\frac{\text{total republicans}}{\text{total voters}}$

$=\frac{29x}{100x}=0.29$

probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican

$=P(A)+P(B)$

$=0.37+0.29$

$=0.66$

Hence the probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican is $0.66$

I really need help on this !!

Naddik [55]

Answer:

r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

(r,7)=(x1,y1) and (3,4)=(x2-y2) and m=-3/5

so plug in...

(4-7)/(4-r)=-3/5

then solve for r which will get that r = -1

numerator: 4-7=-3

denominator: 4-r=5 -> 4-5=0+r -> -1=r
