Answer:

width= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 inches is the original height and we are now reducing that to 3 inches.

In order to do that, we have to divide 18 by 3 which equals 6.

Next, take the width of the rectangle, which is twelve and divide it by the scale factor of 6 which equals 2.

Your final answers should be: width= 2

Answer:

$P(Alive\ or\ Aliens) = 26\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(Alive) = 20\%$

$P(Aliens) = 10\%$

$P(Alive\ and\ Aliens) = 4\%$

Required

Determine $P(Alive\ or\ Aliens)$

From laws of probabilities:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ and\ B)$

In this case:

$P(Alive\ or\ Aliens) = P(Alive) + P(Aliens) - P(Alive\ and\ Aliens)$

$P(Alive\ or\ Aliens) = 20\% + 10\% - 4\%$

$P(Alive\ or\ Aliens) = 26\%$
