The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Eric and Joshua are playing ping pong and pool. Joshua believes he has a good chance of beating Eric in at least one of the games. The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is 0.48. The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is 0.46. Joshua is willing to assume the probability of Eric winning a game of ping pong is independent of him winning a game of pool.

Find the probability:

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool?

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool?

Answer:

P(pp & pool) = 22%

There is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

There is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is given by

P(pp) = 0.48

The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is given by

P(pool) = 0.46

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool is given by

P(pp & pool) = P(pp)×P(pool)

P(pp & pool) = 0.48×0.46

P(pp & pool) = 0.22

P(pp & pool) = 22%

Therefore, there is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool is given by

P(pp OR pool) = P(pp)×0.52 + P(pool)×0.54

Where 0.52 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the ping pong match (1 - 0.48 = 0.52)

Where 0.54 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the pool match (1 - 0.46 = 0.54)

P(pp OR pool) = 0.48×0.52 + 0.46×0.54

P(pp OR pool) = 0.25 + 0.25

P(pp OR pool) = 0.50

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

Therefore, there is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Find the equation of the line containing (3,-2) and (5,5).
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1) with the 2 points:

(-2 - 5) / (3 - 5)

-7/-2

= 3.5

Then, plug the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

5 = 3.5(5) + b

5 = 17.5 + b

-12.5 = b

Plug the slope and the y intercept into the equation y = mx + b

y = 3.5x - 12.5 will be the equation

Write a positive or negative integer an increase of $15
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  +15

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase is generally regarded as being positive. If units are dollars, an increase of $15 can be represented by the integer +15.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If units are dimes, then the number would be +150. So, you see, <em>the units are important </em>to know.

It also depends on <em>what is increasing</em> and what is being represented by the integer. If it is an increase in debt, then the change in net worth might be -15.

(100 Points)last one i promise lol​
erik [133]

Answer:

40.35

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the discount

97 * 60%

97 *.6 = 58.2

Subtract the discount to find the new price

97-58.20 =38.80

Next find the tax

38.80 * 4%

38.80 * .04

1.55

We add the tax to the sales price

38.8+1.55

40.35
