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.

One gram of a certain health food contains 7 percent of the minimum daily requirement of vitamin E and 3 percent of the minimum
Liula [17]

Answer:

Approximately 34 grams of the healthy food

Step-by-step explanation:

For know the minimum value to be eaten daily to provide the requirement of both vitamins, is necessary to calculate the minimum value for every vitamin, so:

  • vitamin E: We are going to use the rule of three in which 1 gram have 7% of the minimum daily requirement, then how many grams are going to be be the 100% of the daily requirement:

1 gram --------------7%

X grams -----------100%

X=\frac{1 gram* 100}{ 7 } = 14.285 grams

So, it is necessary approximately 15 grams of healthy food to complete th 100% of the minimum daily requirement of vitamin E.

  • vitamin A: We are going to use the rule of three in which 1 gram have 3% of the minimum daily requirement, then how many grams are going to be be the 100% of the daily requirement:

1 gram --------------3%

X grams -----------100%

X=\frac{1 gram* 100}{ 3 } = 33.33 grams

So, it is necessary approximately 34 grams of healthy food to complete th 100% of the minimum daily requirement of vitamin E.

Finally for satisfy with both minimum daily requirement, we need to eat at least 34 grams of healthy food, because it is the maximum between the two X values.
