A marketing firm would like to test-market the name of a new energy drink targeted at 18- to 29-year-olds via social media. A st

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.

What is the value of x if HF = 4x+1 and AB = 12x-3?|<br><br><br> Given m
Reptile [31]

Answer: <em>x = 1.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>HF - is the middle line of the triangle ABC.</em>

HF=\dfrac{1}{2} AB\\\\HF=4x+1\\AB=12x-3\\\\4x+1=\dfrac{1}{2}  \cdot (12x-3)\\\\4x+1=\dfrac{12x-3}{2} \\\\(4x+1) \cdot 2 =12x-3\\8x+2=12x-3\\8x+2-12x=12x-3-12x\\-4x+2=-3\\-4x+2-2=-3-2\\-4x=-5\\-4x \cdot (-1)=-5 \cdot (-1)\\4x=5\\4x \div 4=5 \div 4\\x=1.25

A bag of flour weighs 5 lb. 5/7 lb of flour was used to make bread. How many
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5/1 - 5/7

35/7 - 5/7

= 30/7 = 4 2/7 lb

Multiply the denominators, 7 by 5,and 1 by 7. When you have the same denominator in each fraction you can subtract. (7x4= 28, 30-28= 2)

A bracelet costs $39.59 including tax.It is marked down 25 percent.What is the final price of the bracelet after it is marked do
lara31 [8.8K]
If it is marked down 25% and 25% equals 25/100 then you simply take 39.59 x 25/100

39.59 x 25/100 = 9.90

and then you subtract that from the original price 

39.59 - 9.90 = $29.69

after it is marked down, the price is $29.69
