Answer:

0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two events A and B, the probability that either A or B occurs is given by:

p(A\cup B) = p(A)+p(B)-p(A\cap B)

where

p(A) the probability that A occurs

p(B) is the probability that B occurs

p(A\cap B) is the probability that both A and B occur at the  same time

In this problem, we know the following facts:

p(o) = 0.83 is the probability that the car requires an oil change

p(b)=0.17 is the probability that the car requires a brake repair

p(o\cap b) = 0.15 is the probability that the car requires both an oil change and brake repair

Therefore, the probability that either o (car requiring oil change) or b (car requiring brake repait) occur is:

p(o\cup b)=p(o)+p(b)-p(o\cap b)=0.83+0.17-0.15 = 0.85

Write a whole number that, when rounded to the nearest hundred, is 700.
omeli [17]
A number that would be rounded to 700 would be 695. if i'm wanting to round to the nearest hundred then i would look at the number behind the number i'm rounding so i would look at 9. 9 is 5 or more so we round up to 700.

Tell me how you got the answer
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

x = 18; y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

6.

Triangles KLM and KNO are similar, so the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

KL/KN = LM/NO

10/30 = 6/x

Cross multiply.

10x = 6 * 30

10x = 180

x = 18

KL + LN = KN

10 + y = 30

y = 20

Given data

Circles are described using the diameter parameter

Diameter of the circle is 8 inches

radius = 4 inche= d/2

Step two:

The area of the circle is

A= πr^2

A= 3.142*4^2
