Answer:

a) 0.32

b) 0.68

c) office or den

Step-by-step explanation:

Locations             Probabilities

Adult bedroom    0.03

Child bedroom    0.15

Other bedroom   0.14

Office or den       0.40

Other rooms        0.28

a)

P(PC in bedroom)= P(PC in adult bedroom)+ P(PC in child bedroom)+ P(PC in other bedroom)

P(PC in bedroom)= 0.03+0.15+ 0.14

P(PC in bedroom)= 0.32.

Thus, the probability that a PC is in a bedroom is 0.32.

b)

P(PC is not in bedroom)= P(PC in Office or den)+ P(PC in Other rooms)

P(PC is not in bedroom)= 0.40+0.28

P(PC is not in bedroom)= 0.68.

Thus, the probability that a PC is not in a bedroom is 0.68.

c)

When a household is selected at random from households with a PC we would expect to find a PC in a room which has a greater probability of having PC.

The greater probability of room having a PC is of Office or den room with probability 0.40. So, when a household is selected at random from households with a PC we would expect to find a PC in a Office or den room.

I need the steps to this problem, please!

Hello Ashley!

This is an isosceles triangle. How do we know? Well, the two little bar they put means that it is isosceles. When you add all the angles together, you MUST find them equal to 180. Another you need to keep in mind is that the angle that are face to face with each other are ALWAYS equal.

Too much talking...we gonna solve the problem.

x + x + 72 = 180
2x + 72 = 180
2x = 180 - 72
2x = 108
x = 108/2
x= 54
That's the answer .

---------------------
What did we say earlier? We said that when we add all the angles together we MUST find them equal to 180. So, we gonna replace x by 54

54 + 54 + 72  = 180
180 = 180
So.. yes we got it right!

54 is the correct answer.

Good luck with your studies!
