Answer:

Probability of eligible applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage eligible applicants who pass the exam

\textrm {89\%  of 70\%}= \dfrac{89\times70}{100}=62.3\%

Total  ineligible applicants  who pass the exam

\textrm {14\%  of 30\%}= \dfrac{14\times30}{100}=4.2\%

All applicants who pass this exam 62.3% + 4.2% = 66.5%

Probability of applicants who pass the exam

\textrm{probability }= \dfrac{66.5}{100}=0.665

Out of 66.5% applicants who pass the exam , 4.2% applicants are ineligible

\textrm{so the probability is}\dfrac{4.2}{66.5}=0.063

Probability of applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063

A ball is thrown from the top of a 50-ft building with an upward velocity of 24 ft/s. When will it reach its maximum height? How
sergeinik [125]
24ft/s for the 1st second then it'd be 9.8mp/s which is the speed of velocity towards earth, so the 24ft/s - the 9.8 would be 14.2ft/s which is the second, the third would then be 4.4 after again subtracting 9.8. That is as far as I got, hope that helps even slightly
