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.

MariettaO [177]

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles means sum of them is 180°

8x+4+6x+64 = 180

14x+68 = 180

x = 8

Answer:

BCG =65

Step-by-step explanation:

DCG + GCB = DCB

We know BCG = 31x+3 and GCD = 12x+2  and BCD = 91

Substituting these in

12x+2 + 31x+3 = 91

Combine like terms

43x +5 = 91

Subtract 5 from each side

43x+5-5 = 91-5

43x = 86

Divide by 43

43x/43= 86/43

x=2

BCG = 31x+3

        =31(2)+3

         =62+3

           =65
