We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes
Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question :
It is estimated 28% of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that 85% of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income instruments (savings accounts, bonds, etc.). It is also estimated that 26% of U.S. adults have investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places. (b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?
Answer:
0.929 ; 0.306
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information:
P(stock) = P(s) = 28% = 0.28
P(fixed income) = P(f) = 0.85
P(stock and fixed income) = p(SnF) = 26%
a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places.
P(F|S) = p(FnS) / p(s)
= 0.26 / 0.28
= 0.9285
= 0.929
(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?
P(s|f) = p(SnF) / p(f)
P(S|F) = 0.26 / 0.85 = 0.3058823
P(S¦F) = 0.306 (to 3 decimal places)
The line of best fit is a line on a scatter plot graph with equal number of points on either side of it, it is the equivalent of average.
