Answer:

Option "a": 0.488

Step-by-step explanation:

If 52 people answered "yes" and 77 people answered "no", a total of 52 + 77 = 129 people answered the question.

From the people that answered "yes", 5 were male, and from the people that answered "no", 11 were male, so there is a total of 5+11 = 16 men.

To find the probability of one person randomly selected being male or having answered "yes", we can use the following probabilities:

Probability of the person being male: P(Male) = 16/129

Probability of the person having answered "yes": P(Yes) = 52/129

Probability of the person being male and having answered "yes": P(Male AND Yes) = 5/129

Then, we can calculate the probability of the person being male or having answered "yes":

P(Male OR Yes) = P(Male) + P(Yes) - P(Male AND Yes)

= (16/129) + (52/129) - (5/129) = 63/129 = 0.4884 = 48.84%

Correct option: "a"

How do you determine if the following scale factor 4/3 would create an enlargement, reduction, or isometric figure?
lara31 [8.8K]
If the scale factor is greater than one, it will always create an enlargement, so since 4/3= 1 1/3 it’s 1 1/3 the size of the original figure, AKA an enlargement
