According to the Centers for Disease Control, the probability that a randomly selected citizen of the United States has hearing

problems is 0.151. The probability that a randomly selected citizen of the United States has vision problems is 0.093. Can we compute the probability of randomly selecting a citizen of the United States who has a hearing problem or vision problem by adding these probabilities? Why or why not?

I think the answer is yes you can because they are both different things.

What I mean by that is that the United Stated as .151% of its people with hearing problems, and .093% with vision problems. So really adding them together just mixes it saying that .244% of people in the united states have either a vision or a hearing problem.

It doesn’t make it any more or any less people by adding them together. Therefore it’s not any more or any less probable to pick one or the other.

Hopes this helps.

Peter tracks the goals he scores in 9 soccer games. In two games Peter scored 2 goals each, in one game he scored 0 goals, in tw
Reika [66]

The average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

In first two games Peter scored 2 goals each. So, total score in two games = (2×2)= 4

In one game he scored 0 goal and in next two games he scored 3 goals each, so the total is (3×2)= 6

In the last four games he scored 1 goal in each, so the total is (1×4)= 4

So, the total score in all 9 games =4+0+6+4=14

Thus, the average number of goals = \frac{14}{9}= 1.5555....

So, the average number of goals per game Peter scores, rounded to one decimal place is 1.6

What is the pobability that a number cube with six
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: \dfrac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of outcomes for fair dice {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 6

Given : Favorable outcome = 5

i.e. Number of favorable outcomes =1

We know that the formula to find the probability for each event is given by :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Then, the probability that the six  faces cube will land with the number 5 face up will be :_

\dfrac{1}{6}

Hence, the required probability = \dfrac{1}{6}
