Answer: x is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

This is ratio

a : c = b : x and d : unknown

a : c = 9 : 12 = 3 : 4 which is 9/12

b : x = 15 : x which is 15 / x

So the proportion will be :

3/4 = 15/x

So Cross multiplying

3x = 90

Divide both side by 3

x = 90/3

x = 20

finlep [7]

Answer:

0.3157

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to a certain news poll, 71% agreed that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly,

Let A be the event that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly, and B the event that it would be a good idea to invest part of their Social Security taxes on their own

P(B) = 41%=0.41

A and B are independent

Hence P(both)=0.77(0.41) = 0.3157\\

the probability that a person agreed with both propositions

= Probability for both A and B

= P(A) P(B) since A and B are independent

= 0.3157
