Answer:

P = 0.008908

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The table below describes the smoking habits of a group of asthma sufferers

               Nonsmokers      Light Smoker     Heavy smoker      Total

Men                        303                     35                           37        375

Women                   413                     31                            45        489

Total                        716                     66                           82        864

If two different people are randomly selected from the 864 subjects, find the probability that they are both heavy smokers.

The number of ways in which we can select x subjects from a group of n subject is given by the combination and it is calculated as:

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Now, there are 82C2 ways to select subjects that are both heavy smokers. Because we are going to select 2 subjects from a group of 82 heavy smokers. So, it is calculated as:

82C2=\frac{82!}{2!(82-2)!}=3321

At the same way, there are 864C2 ways to select 2 different people from the 864 subjects. It is equal to:

864C2=\frac{864!}{2!(864-2)!}=372816

Then, the probability P that two different people from the 864 subjects are both heavy smokers is:

P=\frac{82C2}{864C2}=\frac{3321}{372816}=0.008908

Can someone please help me with this :(
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

first find the surface area of one of the square and one of the triangle.

then multiple it by the number of square and triangle they have

finally add the total surface area of the triangle with the total surface area of the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. for one square

area= base * width

= 10*10

=100

total area of square= number of square * area of one square

t=6*100

t=600

  • for one triangle

area = 1/2 base * height

= 1/2 *10*8.66

=43.3

total area of triangle=number of triangle* area of one triangle

t2=8*43.3

=346.4

total surface area= total surface area of the square+ total surface area of the triangle

=600+346.4

=946.4 in^2

Andrea is shopping for items for her pet sitting business because the store is having a sale where everything in the store
frutty [35]

Answer:

the answer is the first one

Step-by-step explanation:

39.99 rounded up is 40.00

19.99 rounded up is 20.00

40.00*0.05 = 2, 40-2 = 38

20.00*0.15 = 3, 20-3 = 17*.05 = 0.85, 17-0.85 = 16.15

38+16.15 = 54.15
