Answer:

a) 113/300

b) 1/2

c) 187/300

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the events like follows:

a = married workers

b = graduate workers.

Then, a∧b = married and graduate workers.

We have:

p(a) = 59/100 (59%)

p(b) = 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5 (20%)

p(a∧b) = 1/6.

So,

answer a) the probability to be neither married nor a college graduate is 1-p(aUb) = 1-(p(a)+P(b)-P(a∩B))=1-59/100-1/5+1/6= 113/300

answer b) the probability to be married but not a college graduate = p(a) ∩ (1-p(b)) = 59/100 x (1-20/100) = 1/2

answer c) the probability to be married or a college graduate p(a∪b)= p(a) ∪ p(b) -P(a∩B)= 59/100+1/5-1/6= 187/300

Find the area A of triangle JKL with the vertices J(5,8), K(0,7), and L(5,4)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Area of the triangle is 10 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle is: "base x height / 2", and  in this case, we can consider the triangle's base as the segment that joins the vertices (5, 4) and (5, 8) which gives a segment length of 4 units. The height of the triangle is then the distance between the third vertex (0,7) and the base, which is exactly 5 units. Then the area becomes:

Area = 4 x 5 / 2 = 10 square units.

5. Solve for x using any method you'd like. Round to the hundredth. Show all your work. (2 points each) d. 20x^3 = 7x^5
Sindrei [870]

Solving this equation for x, we have:

\begin{gathered} 20x^3=7x^5 \\ 7x^5-20x^3=0 \\ x^3(7x^2-20)=0 \\ \begin{cases}x^3=0\to x=0 \\ 7x^2=20\to x=\pm\sqrt[]{\frac{20}{7}}\end{cases} \end{gathered}

The three inside angles (A,B and C) of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 7:18:11. Th smallest angle is 35. Work out angle
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

<A = 35degrees

<B =90degrees

<C = 55degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratios of a triangle as 7:18:11

Total ratio = 7+18+11

Total ratio = 36

Since the smallest angle is 35degrees, hence <A = 35degrees

Get angle B;

<B = 18/36 * 180 (sum of angle in a triangle is 180degrees)

<B = 1/2 * 180

<B = 90degrees

Get angle C;

<C = 11/36 * 180

<C = 11 * 5

<C = 55degrees

Hence the value of A, B and C are 35, 90 and 55 degrees repectively
