Answer:

17/72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make this equation easier to read.

.5/36 + 16(1/72)

Start by remembering PEMDAS

Parentheses

Exponents

Multiply

Divide

Add

Subtract

This is the order in which you will solve the problem. So multiplication first, then division, and finally addition.

Multiply 16 and 1/72

16/1 x 1/72 multiply across to get 16/72 which can be reduced to 2/9.

Divide .5 (or 1/2) by 36. To do this, multiply by the reciprocal of 36

1/2 x 1/36 = 1/72

Your equation is now

2/9 + 1/72

Your common denominator is 72, so multiply top and bottom of 2/9 by 8.

16/72 + 1/72 = 17/72

At the mall, buying a pair of shoes and buying a book are independent events.The probability that a shopper buys shoes is 0.15.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The probability that a shopper buys shoes and a book is 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

The probability that a shopper buys shoes is 0.15

so, we have

$p(s)=0.15$

The probability that a shopper buys a book is 0.10

so, we have

$p(b)=0.10$

the probability that a shopper buys shoes and a book can be written as

p(s∩b)

we are given that

s and b are independent

so,

p(s∩b) $=p(s)\times p(b)$

now, we can plug values

p(s∩b) $=0.15\times 0.10$

p(s∩b) $=0.015$
