For a certain weekend, the weatherman predicts that it will rain with a 40% probability on Saturday and a 50% probability on Sun

day. Assuming these probabilities are independent, what is the probability that it rains over the weekend (that is, on at least one of the days)? Express your answer as a percentage.

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability it rains on at least one of the days is:

P = P(Sat & not Sun) + P(Sun & not Sat) + P(Sat & Sun)

P = (0.40)(1−0.50) + (0.50)(1−0.40) + (0.40)(0.50)

P = 0.20 + 0.30 + 0.20

P = 0.70

Another way to look at it is 1 − the probability that it doesn't rain on either day.

P = 1 − P(not Sat & not Sun)

P = 1 − (1−0.40)(1−0.50)

P = 1 − 0.30

P = 0.70

There is a 70% probability that it will rain on at least one day.

I don’t understand this at all

Answer:

  9(x +y)

Step-by-step explanation:

You observe that both terms have a coefficient of 9. The distributive property lets you factor that out, so you can rewrite the expression as ...

  9x +9y = 9(x +y)

_____

It might help to think of parentheses as a "bag." The expression 9(x+y) tells you the contents of one bag is (x+y) and you have 9 of them. You could think of x, and y as representing two different physical objects, for example, perhaps a ball and a cube.

The first expression, 9x +9y, tells you that you have 9 of each of these objects. The distributive property says this could be the result of dumping the contents of 9 bags, each containing one each of the objects. The expression 9(x+y) is the version of the expression that shows these objects as being grouped into 9 bags.

How do you calculate gross pay net pay and employee benefits
Sonja [21]

Gross pay is the amount of money your employees receive before any taxes and deductions are taken out. For example, when you tell an employee, “I'll pay you $50,000 a year,” it means you will pay them $50,000 in gross wages.

Hope this helps!!
