udy by the Pew Research Center found that 35% of U.S. adults (18 and older) do not use social media (Pew Research Center website, October 2015). The percentage of U.S. young adults age 30 and older is 78%. Suppose that the percentage of the U.S. adult population that is either age 18–29 or uses social media is 67.2%. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29? c.

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Rafael ha comprado 185,8 kg. de manzanas y 300,2 kg. de naranjas. ¿Cuánto más pesan las naranjas que las manzanas? ¿Cuánto pesa
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

a.114.4kg

b. 486kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly , we want to know the value with which the apples weigh more than the oranges

To calculate this, we simply subtract the weight of the oranges from that of the apple

Mathematically, that would be ;

300.2-185.8 = 114.4kg

The total weight of the things bought is calculated by adding both weights together

That would be 185.8 + 300.2 = 486 kg

First and last terms of the given equation are perfect squares. They can be written as

(4p^2)^2+ 2.(4p^2).5+(5)^2
It's like identity 1: (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
So a=4p^2 and b=5
Therefore it is equal to (4p^2+5)^2
