"If the probability that she orders just a grilled cheese sandwich is .76, what is the probability that she will order a grilled cheese or fries?"

Answer:

The probability that she will order a grilled cheese sandwich or fries is <u>0.43.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of ordering fries is, $P(F)=0.32$

Probability of ordering cheese sandwich is, $P(S)=0.76$

Probability of ordering both sandwich and fries is, $P(F\cap S)=0.65$

Probability of ordering cheese sandwich or fries is given by the union of both the events 'F' and 'S' given as $P(F\cup S)$ .

Now, using addition theorem of probability, we get:

$P(F\cup S)=P(F)+P(S)-P(F\cap S)\\P(F\cup S)=0.32+0.76-0.65\\P(F\cup S)=0.43$

Therefore, probability of ordering cheese sandwich or fries is 0.43.

Three numbers X, Y, and Z are in the ratio 2:7:8. If 12 is subtracted from Y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in t

Dimas [21]

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
