Answer:
<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.2
Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.15
2. Assume the companies function independently What is the probability that both companies become profitable?
We will answer this question, assuming these are independent events, this way:
Probability that both companies become profitable = Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable * Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable
Replacing with the values given, we have:
Probability that both companies become profitable = 0.2 * 0.15 = 0.03
<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>
Answer:
Option D RX=4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
<em>In the right triangle RTS</em>
The cosine of angle TRS is equal to
cos(TRS)=RT/RS
substitute
cos(TRS)=6/9 -----> equation A
<em>In the right triangle RTX</em>
The cosine of angle TRX is equal to
cos(TRX)=RX/RT
substitute
cos(TRX)=RX/6 -----> equation B
∠TRS=∠TRX -----> is the same angle
Match equation A and equation B
6/9=RX/6
RX=6*6/9=4 units
I think the answer is A.......
