Answer: The probability that a randomly selected citizen has a favorable or unfavorable opinion is 1 or 100%.

In this question, we have only two answers favorable or unfavorable.

A person can't have both opinions at the same time.

So these events - favorable and unfavorable are mutually exclusive events i.e one event cannot occur when the other occurs.

Let P(F) be the probability of a person who has a favorable opinion

P(UF) be the probability of a person who has an unfavorable opinion

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F) = \frac{Total people with favorable responses}{Total people in the survey}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F) = \frac{62}{100}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(UF) = \frac{No. of people with unfavorable opinion}{Total number of people in the survey}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(UF) = \frac{38}{100}}}

Now, the probability of either one of two mutually exclusive events occurring is:

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F or UF) = P(F) + P(UF)}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F or UF) = \frac{62}{100} + \frac{38}{100} = \frac{100}{100}=1}}

Maslowich

Answer:

The correct answer is:

I trust you to be able to accomplish this task (C)

Explanation:

First of all, you have to know the meaning of the word competence, and competence is a collection of related relevant abilities, know-how and skills required to act effectively on a job or situation. Which is a clear message passed by the speaker in the statement "I trust you to be able to accomplish this task", because the speaker knows that his team member possesses the right skills to carry out a task successfully.

The statement in option D ( "I trust you to do the right thing." ) also tells a little about competence because one of the definitions of competence highlights being sane, and one needs to be sane to do the right thing, but it is only second choice when compared to the statement in option "C".

Next time when you are faced with this kind of question, identify the keyword ( which in this case is competence), and use that to answer the question.
