Answer:

<h2>The table does not show a linear function</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The formula of a slope:}\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{From the table we have:}\\\\(5,\ 24),\ (10,\ 21),\ (15,\ 17),\ (20,\ 13)\\\\\text{Check}\\\\\dfrac{21-24}{10-5}=\dfrac{-3}{5}=-\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\\dfrac{17-21}{15-10}=\dfrac{-4}{5}=-\dfrac{4}{5}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{5}\neq-\dfrac{4}{5}$

Answer:

0.3875

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a group of college students, the ratio of men to women is 3:1 (i.e., 3 to 1). In a recent survey, 40% of the men in this group selected hiking as their favorite outdoor activity whereas 35% of the women in the group selected hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

From the above information we find that

P(Men) = 0.75 and P(women) = 0.25 (since men:women = 3:1)

Out of men prob for not selecting hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

$=1-0.6 = 0.4$

Out of women prob for not selecting hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

$=1-0.35 = 0.65$

Prob for a randomly selected person that hiking is not his/her favorite outdoor activity = Prob (man and not selected activitiy) + P(women and not selected activity) (since men and women are mutually exclusive and exhaustive)

= $0.75(0.4)+0.25(0.35)\\= 0.30+0.0875\\\\=0.3875$
