What is the value of the 4 in the number 17.884? Write your answer as a fraction.

According to a survey, 60 % of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino. Of these 60 % about 8 out of 10 strongly opp

katrin [286]

Answer:

(a) 0.48

(b) 0.20

(c) it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino.

The probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the cassino is the product of the two probabilities, that a resident opposes the casino and that it strongly opposes the casino (once it is in the first group) as it is shown below.

Use this notation:

Probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino: P(A)

Probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it: P(B/A), because it is the probability of event B given the event A

i) Determine the probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino, P(A)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

P(A) is given as 60%, which in decimal form is 0.60

ii) Next, determine,the probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it, P(B/A):

It is given as 8 out of 10 ⇒ P(B/A) = 8/10

iii) You want the probability of both events, which is the joint probability or intersection: P(A∩B).

So, you can use the definition of conditional probability:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

iv) From which you can solve for P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(B/A)×P(A) = (8/10)×(0.60) = 0.48

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

In this case, you just want the complement of the probability that a radomly selected resident who opposes the casino does strongly oppose the casino, which is 1 - P(B/A) = 1 - 8/10 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.

(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino?

You are being asked about the joint probability (PA∩B), which you found in the part (a) and it is 0.48.

That is almost 0.50 or half of the population, so you conclude it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

How to work this out ?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The solution is (-3, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please note that if you simply add these 2 equations together, 9x - 9x = 0, and you are then left with -5y = 10. Thus, y = -2. Subbing -2 for y in the first equation, we get 9x - 8(-2) = -11, or 9x + 16 = -11.

Subtracting 16 from both sides, we get 9x = -27, so that x = -3.

The solution is (-3, -2).

a square garden with a side of 150m has a square swimming pool in the very center with a side length of 25m calculate the area o

marta [7]

Answer: 21,875 sqm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Find the gross area of the garden.

Square 150m = 22,500 sqm.

Step 2:

Find the area of the pool.

Square 25m = 625 sqm.

Step 3:

Subtract the area of the pool from the gross area of the garden

to find the net area of the garden.

22,500 - 625 = 21,875 sqm.

Warning:

Do not subtract the side length of the swimming pool from the side length

of the garden before squaring.

Luna mixes 3/4 cup of orange juice with 3/8 cup of cranberry juice. She gives 5/8 cup of juice to mags. How much is left in luna

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The answer is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must the least common denominator so that you can add the two fractions. The least common denominator between 3/4 and 3/8, would be 8.

To get 3/4 to the least common denominator, you have to multiply top and bottom by 2. The product of this will be 6/8.

Next you add the two fractions: 6/8 + 3/8 = 9/8

Simplify your improper fraction to get on and 1 eighths or in number form 1 1/8

After this you must subtract how much she gave away so you can use your improper fraction to make it easier and subtract five eighths from nine eighths: 9/8 - 5/8 = 4/8

So, Luna has four eighths of a glass left but first you must simplify your answer. both 4 and 8 divide by 4 to get 1/2.

So Luna's glass only has 1/2 in the cup.

Make sure you be optimistic and see it as half full, instead of the pessimistic view of half empty. Remember to stay positive and share good vibes. Hope this answer helps you.
