Answer:

(a) The probability of the event that a student owns a stock is 0.35.

The probability of the event that a student owns a mutual fund.

(b)The probability that a student owns  neither a stocks nor mutual is  0.5.

(c)The probability that a student owns either a stocks or a mutual fund is 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability:

Let the event space S of a given random experiment E be finite. If all the simple events connected to E be 'equally likely' then the probability of event A is defined as

P(A)=\frac mn

where n is total number of sample event and  of these simple events are favorable.

Formula:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

Given that,

A survey of 100 MBA students found that 75 owned mutual funds, 35 owned stocks and 15 owned both.

A = owned stocks

B= owned mutual funds

(a)

P(A)=\frac{\textrm{Number of students who owned a stock}}{\textrm{Total nuber of students}}

         =\frac{35}{100}

        =0.35

P(B)=\frac{\textrm{Number of students who owned a mutual funds}}{\textrm{Total nuber of students}}

         =\frac{75}{100}

        =0.75

The probability that a student owns a stocks=0.35.

The probability that a student owns a mutual funds=0.75.

The number of students who owned only a mutual fund

= Total number of students who owned a mutual fund - the number of students who owned both

=(75-15)

=60

The number of students who owned  only a stock

= Total number of students who owned a stock- the number of students who owned both

=(35-15)

=20

The number students who owned either a stocks or a mutual fund or both is

= The number of students who owned only a mutual fund +The number of students who owned  only a stock+the number of students who owned both

=60+20+15

=95

The number of students who owned neither a stocks nor mutual is

=100-95

=5

The probability that a student owns  neither a stocks nor mutual is

= \frac{5}{100}

=0.05

(c)

The number of students who owned either a stocks or a mutual fund is

=60+20

=80

The probability that a student owns either a stocks or a mutual fund is

=\frac{80}{100}

=0.80

Solve each system of inequalties by graphing.
nordsb [41]

Start by graphing each line.

• Because the first inequality is smaller than, it will have a dotted (- - -) line.

• Because the second inequality is smaller than or equal to, it will have a solid line (---).

Then, plug in points to see where your shading will go. If the statement is true (x = x), you will shade that area along the line.

y  < 3x + 2

(0)  < 3(0) + 2

0  <  2

0 is less than 2.

Do the same step for the other equation. Your solution to the problem is any point that lies between the shading from both inequalities (where the blue and red meet).

Please tell me if my answer is right <br> NO LIES brainlest<br> report you then
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Your answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "<" sign means less than and the ">" sign means greater than. It is clear that you have a handle on them.

1.) If Steve has no more that 28 toys, then the less than sign would represent the fact that Steve can have a maximum of 28 toys, and no more.

2.) If the temperature is more that 28 degrees Fahrenheit, then the greater than sign is appropriate in order to imply that the variable represents a higher temperature.

3.) If tony is younger than 29 years old, then the less than sign fits to show that the variable represents an age that is smaller than 29.

4.) If the table is greater than 29 kilograms, then the greater than sign is needed. It shows that the table has a greater weight than 29 kilograms.

Hope this helps! :D
