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

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):
Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}

g(x) = 3x - 2

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}

This gives:

m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{0 - 1}

m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{- 1}

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}

m = \frac{-8}{- 1}

m = 8

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

g(x) = mx + b

m \to slope

So:

g(x) = 3x -2

m = 3

m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when x = 0

From the table of f(x)

f(0) = -1

From the equation of g(x)

g(x) = 3x -2

g(0) = 3*0-2

g(0) =-2

<em></em>f(0) > g(0)<em></em>

5. Explain how you could use compatible numbers to estimate 245 ÷ 3. Then estimate the quotient.​
sdas [7]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.

In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.

So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.

Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.

We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.

Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.

Therefore,

240 / 30 = 8

So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.
