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

The length of a rectangular garden is 8m greater than twice the width the area of the garden is 280m^2 what is the width of the
yarga [219]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.

Area of the garden is 280 m²

Let us consider the length as x and width as y.

Sp, we can day length as :-

x = 8 + 2y ---(1)

Now, we know that:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

280 = x * y

We can replace the value of x now,

280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)

280 = 8y + 2y²

2y² + 8y - 280 = 0

y² + 4y - 140 = 0

Factorise it.

(y -10)(y + 14)

Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.
