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.

5x+3x=32

8x=32

x=4.

Answer:

C. 2,150

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that out of 120 passengers, 86 were satisfied with the service.

To find the percentage amount of passengers who were satisfied, we can divide 86 by 120 and get 0.716 repeating (about 71.6%).

Then, we can multiply the total number of passengers, 3,000, by that number and get 2,150.
