Answer:

Age    |    Believe   |   Not believe  |   Total

<45     |    0.148      |        0.422       |   0.570

>45     |    0.301      |        0.129        |   0.430

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to construct a probability matrix for this problem.

Of the people surveyed, 57% were under age 45. That means that 43% is over age 45.

70% of the ones who were 45 or older, believe the Social Security system will be secure in 20 years.

The Believe proportion is 51%.

Then, the proportion that believe and are under age 45 is:

0.51=P(B;

We can now construct the probability matrix for one respondant selected randomly:

P(45\&NB)=0.43*(1-0.7)=0.43=0.3=0.129

Age    |    Believe   |   Not believe  |   Total

<45     |    0.148      |        0.422       |   0.570

>45     |    0.301      |        0.129        |   0.430

A 10-ft vertical post casts a 14-inch shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower cast a 119-ft shadow. How tall is the ce
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

1.167x = 10*119

x = \frac{1190}{1.167}

x = 1020

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

In this composite function, (f◦g)(x) where f(x)=(X-3) and g(x)=X^2 what is (f◦g)(x) when x=1?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

When x = 1, (f◦g)(x) is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite function:

The composite function of f and g is given by:

(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))

In this question:

f(x) = x - 3, g(x) = x^2

Composite function:

The composite function is:

f(g(x)) = f(x^2) = x^2 - 3

At x = 1

(f \circ g)(1) = 1^2 - 3 = 1 - 3 = -2

So

When x = 1, (f◦g)(x) is -2.
