Find the probability that a randomly selected person

Mathematics

Inga [223]3 years ago

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected person  from this sample liked recreational reading or disliked recreational reading is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event <em>E</em> is the ratio of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Mutually exclusive events are those events which cannot occur together. They are also known as disjoint events.

If events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are mutually exclusive then:

P(A\cap B)=0

The data provided is:

Opinion                      Like academic     Dislike academic      Total

                                          reading              reading

Liked recreational                   136                      40                      176

reading

Disliked recreational                16                        8                        24

reading

Total                                       152                      48                      200

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person liked recreational reading.

<em>Y</em> = a person disliked recreational reading.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person  from this sample liked recreational reading or disliked recreational reading as follows:

P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)

                =\frac{176}{200}+\frac{24}{200}-0\\\\=\frac{176+24}{200}\\\\=1

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person  from this sample liked recreational reading or disliked recreational reading is 1.

Student scientific calculator 3×10^5 is displayed as 3 EE 5 in that case how was the panic of 80,000 and 5000 be displayed on Th
faltersainse [42]
Hello,
We know that
3×10^5= 3 EE 5
Change 80,000 to the scientific notation
8×10^4
Doing the same like 3×10^5, I can get 8 EE 4
Change 5000 to the scientific notation
5×10^3
Then it will appeared as 5 EE 3. Hope it help!

The midpoint of is (14, 26). One endpoint of is A(32, 40). What are the coordinates of B?
cupoosta [38]
For x,
(32+x)/2=14
32+x=14*2
32+x=28
x=28-32
x=-4

For y,
(40+y)/2=26
40+y=26*2
40+y=52
y=52-40
y=12

Therefore coordinates of B(-4,12)
Hope this helps!

Answer:

14•4°

step by step explanation:

ratio=1:2:3=6

angles in degree=150°

6/150°×360°(simplify)

6/5°×12°

=72°/5°

=14•4°

The largest angle=14•4°

Sallys statement is always true
for example:
-6 + 2 = -4
but if I turn it around
2 - 6 = -4
same answer

-6 -6 = -12
swap around -6 - 6 = 12
same answer

again -3 + 6 = 3
and 6 - 3 = 3
