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.

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x)=x+6 reflected across the x-axis.Which equation describes g?
Mandarinka [93]
Reflected across x axis means y turns to -y, meaning, multiply the whole function by -1

f(x) times -1=-1 times (x+6)=-x-6

Answer:

y=-3,250t+25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope of unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation

Let

t ----> the number of years since 2011

y --->the car's value

In this problem the year 2011 represent t=0

so

the year 2015, represent t=4 years (2015-2011)

we have the ordered pairs

(0,25,000) ----> represent the y-intercept

(4,12,000)

<em>Find the slope m</em>

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{t2-t1}

substitute the values

m=\frac{12,000-25,000}{4-0}

m=\frac{-13,000}{4}

m=-\$3,250\ per\ year ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

we have

b=\$25,000 ----> value of y when the value of x is equal to zero (initial value)

substitute the given values

y=-3,250t+25,000

Which exponential function is represented by the
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C, f(x) = 3(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y-intercept is 3, the function will have 3 multiplying by some number to the power of x.

As x increases by 1, we notice that y multiplies by 2 every time.

This leads us to believe that the equation is 3 * 2^x
