Answer:

Probability that a customer pays the bill by mail, given that the customer is female is 0.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Online By Mail Total

Male 12 8 20

Female 24 6 30

Total 36 14 50

A utility company asked 50 of its customers whether they pay their bills online or by mail. What is the probability that a customer pays the bill by mail, given that the customer is female.

Probability that a customer pays the bill by mail, given that the customer is female is given by = P(Pays bill by mail / Customer is female)

$\frac{6}{50}$ P(Pays bill by mail/Customer is female) = $\frac{P(\text{Pays bill by Mail}\bigcap \text{ Customer is Female})}{P(\text{ Customer is Female})}$

Now, Probability that customer is female = $\frac{30}{50}$

Also, Probability that customer pays bill by mail and is female = $\frac{6}{50}$

So, Required probability = $\frac{\frac{6}{50} }{\frac{30}{50} }$

= $\frac{6}{50}\times \frac{50}{30}$

= $\frac{1}{5}$ = 0.20

Hence, probability that a customer pays the bill by mail, given that the customer is female is 0.20.

-n+(-4)-(-4n)+6 solve

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

3n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-n+(-4)-(-4n)+6

= -n -4 +4n +6 [positive plus negative = negative; ∴ +(-4) = -4

=4n - n +6 - 4 negative plus negative = positive; ∴ -(-4n) = 4]

now subtract n from 4n and subtract 4 from 6

=3n + 2

Given that a function, g, has a domain of -20 ≤ x ≤ 5 and a range of -5 ≤ g(x) ≤ 45 and that g(0) = -2 and g(-9) = 6, select the

Otrada [13]

Thw statement that's true for the function g is g(-13) = 20.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information given, the function, g, has a domain of -20 ≤ x ≤ 5 and a range of -5 ≤ g(x) ≤ 45.

In this case, g(-13) = 20. Here, x = -13 is in the domain and 20 is also in the range. Therefore, this is true for g.

Which of the following graphs shows the solution set for the inequality below? 3|x + 1| < 9

Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is a well known piecewise function (a function defined by multiple subfunctions) that is described mathematically as

$f(x) \ = \ |x| \ = \ \left\{\left\begin{array}{ccc}x, \ \text{if} \ x \ \geq \ 0 \\ \\ -x, \ \text{if} \ x \ < \ 0\end{array}\right\}$ .

This definition of the absolute function can be explained geometrically to be similar to the straight line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ , however, when the value of x is negative, the range of the function remains positive. In other words, the segment of the line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ where $\textbf{\textit{x}} \ < \ 0$ (shown as the orange dotted line), the segment of the line is reflected across the x-axis.

First, we simplify the expression.

$3\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 9 \\ \\ \\\-\hspace{0.2cm} \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ .

We, now, can simply visualise the straight line, $y \ = \ x \ + \ 1$ , as a line having its y-intercept at the point $(0, \ 1)$ and its x-intercept at the point $(-1, \ 0)$ . Then, imagine that the segment of the line where $x \ < \ 0$ to be reflected along the x-axis, and you get the graph of the absolute function $y \ = \ \left|x \ + \ 1 \right|$ .

Consider the inequality

$\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ ,

this statement can actually be conceptualise as the question

$``\text{For what \textbf{values of \textit{x}} will the absolute function \textbf{be less than 3}}"$ .

Algebraically, we can solve this inequality by breaking the function into two different subfunctions (according to the definition above).

Case 1 (when $x \ \geq \ 0$ )

$x \ + \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 3 \ - \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 2$

Case 2 (when $x \ < \ 0$ )

$-(x \ + \ 1) \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.15cm} -x \ - \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 3 \ + \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 4 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.5cm} x \ > \ -4$

*remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by

negative numbers on both sides of the statement.

Therefore, the values of x that satisfy this inequality lie within the interval

$-4 \ < \ x \ < \ 2$ .

Similarly, on the real number line, the interval is shown below.

The use of open circles (as in the graph) indicates that the interval highlighted on the number line does not include its boundary value (-4 and 2) since the inequality is expressed as "less than", but not "less than or equal to". Contrastingly, close circles (circles that are coloured) show the inclusivity of the boundary values of the inequality.
