Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the prob ability that a randomly selected household speaks only English at home is 0.81.

The probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Spanish at home is 0.12.

(a)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only English or only Spanish at home

= 0.81+0.12 = 0.93

(since these two are disjoint sets)

(b)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English or only Spanish at home

= 1-0.93= 0.07 (remaining)

(c)  the probability that a randomly selected household speaks a language other than only English at home

=1-0.81=0.19

(d) Can the probability that a randomly selected household speaks only Polish at home equal 0.08? Why or why not?

Polish alone can never exceed 1-(0.81+0.12) i.e. 0.70

At most it can take values as 0.7 only

So no is the answer.

Complementary angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are when two angles add up to 90 degrees.

Iodine-131 is a radioactive material with half-life of eight days. A scientist starts with 100 grams of iodinie- 131. Which func
MrRissso [65]
The correct answer is Choice A.

This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula y=ab^x.

The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.

If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).
