The manager of a grocery store reports that there is a 12 percent chance that a customer buys apples during a shopping trip, a 5

percent chance that a customer buy apples and carrots, and a 17 percent chance that a customer buys apples or carrots. What is the probability of a customer buying carrots?

Answer:

The probability of a customer buying carrots is 0.10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

P (Customer buying apples) = 12%  

⇒   P(A) = 12 \100 = 0.12

P(Customer Buying apples AND Carrots) = 5%  

   ⇒   P(A ∩ C ) = 5 /100 = 0.05

P(Customer buying apples OR carrots ) = 17%    

⇒   P(A∪ C) = 17/100 =   0.17

Now, we know that:

<h3> P(X ∪ Y) = P(X) + P(Y) -  P(X ∩ Y ) </h3><h3></h3>

Now, here substituting the values, we get:

P(A∪ C)  = P(A) + P(C) - P(A ∩ C )

⇒  0. 17  =  0.12 + P(C) -  0.05

or, 0.17 - 0.07 = P(C)

or, P(C) = 0.10

or, P(Customer Buying Carrots) = 0.10

Hence, the probability of a customer buying carrots is 0.10.

A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

f(x) = -6x +120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call y the number of patients treated each week

Let's call x the week number.

If the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear then the equation that models this situation will have the following form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope of the equation and b is the intercept with the x-axis.

If we know two points on the line then we can find the values of m and b.

We know that During week 5 of flu season, the clinic saw 90 patients, then we have the point:

(5, 90)

We know that In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients, then we have the point:

(10, 60).

Then we can find m and b using the followings formulas:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}   and b=y_1-mx_1

In this case: (x_1, y_1) = (5, 90) and (x_2, y_2) = (10, 60)

Then:

m=\frac{60-90}{10-5}

m=-6

And

b=90-(-6)(5)

b=120

Finally the function that shows the number of patients seen each week at the clinic is:

f(x) = -6x +120
