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}}

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$23.32

Explanation:

We have the given information as below:

Defective content average = 0.04

Number of units inspected per hour = 53

Hourly rate = $10

Cost involved in final product testing = $11

Now to determine if the inspector position is eliminated, we will need to calculate the number of defective products:

defective products = Defective content average × Number of units inspected per hour

defective products = 0.04 × 53 = 2.12

the hourly cost of defects = defective products × Cost involved in final product testing

The hourly cost of defects = 2.12 × $11 = $23.32

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Law of demand.

Explanation:

The law of demand establishes an inverse relationship between the quantity demanded of goods and services and their price. If the price increases, the quantity demanded will decrease (<em>the demand curve moves to the left</em>). In case the price decreases, the quantity demanded will increase (<em>the demand curve moves to the right</em>).
