What is the square root of 73 to the nearest hundredth?

An alarming number of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. The distinction between overweight and obese is made on the ba

madreJ [45]

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:

X = a person is overweight

Y = 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:

$P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)\\=0.331+0.357-0\\=0.688$

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:

$P(X^{c}\cup Y^{c})=1-P(X\cup Y)\\=1-0.688\\=0.312$

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.

You can use an arithmetic operator to return the modulus of a calculation, which is the ____ when you divide one number by anoth

balandron [24]

Answer:

Residue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be integers. We define a mod b to be the residue of dividing a by b. For example, if a evenly divides b, then a mod b=0, 20 mod 6= 2. The modulus operator is widely used in programming, and it is convenient when a and b are large numbers.

a mod b is always a nonnegative integer. In fact, 0≤ a mod b≤ |b-1| by the division algorithm. a and b can also be negative integers. Since 8=-(-5)+3 then 8 mod -5= 3.

As a final example, some known properties can be rewritten in terms of mod. a mod 2=0 if and only if a is even. a mod 2=1 if and only if a is odd.

At which points are the tangents drawn to the ellipse x 2 + y 2 = [ a ] x + [ a ] y parallel to

In-s [12.5K]

The given equation of the ellipse is x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

At tangent line, the point is horizontal with the x-axis therefore slope = dy / dx = 0

So we have to take the 1st derivative of the equation then equate dy / dx to zero.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

x^2 – 2 x = 2 y – y^2

(2x – 2) dx = (2 – 2y) dy

(2x – 2) / (2 – 2y) = 0

2x – 2 = 0

x = 1

To find for y, we go back to the original equation then substitute the value of x.

x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y

1^2 + y^2 = 2 * 1 + 2 y

y^2 – 2y + 1 – 2 = 0

y^2 – 2y – 1 = 0

Finding the roots using the quadratic formula:

y = [-(- 2) ± sqrt ( (-2)^2 – 4*1*-1)] / 2*1

y = 1 ± 2.828

y = -1.828 , 3.828

Therefore the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at points (1, -1.828) and (1, 3.828).

Kayla wanted to buy a sweatshirt. The original price was $45. When she went to the store the sale price was $37. What is the per

crimeas [40]

Answer:

You need to cross multiply 37/45+x/100 which equals 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part represents the 37 dollars out of the original 45 and the second part represents x= the unknown percent out of 100 percent. This would be 17%
