According to a center for disease​ control, the probability that a randomly selected person has hearing problems is 0.1530.153.

The probability that a randomly selected person has vision problems is 0.0830.083. Can we compute the probability of randomly selecting a person who has hearing problems or vision problems by adding these​ probabilities? Why or why​ not?
(A) No, because hearing problems and vision problems are events that are too similar to one another.

(B) No, because hearing and vision problems are not mutually exclusive. So, some people have both hearing and vision problems. These people would be included twice in the probability.

(C) Yes, because this is an application of the Addition Rule for Disjoint Events.

(D) Yes, because hearing and vision are two different senses, and therefore, they are two unique problems.

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that a randomly selected person has hearing problems = 0.153

Probability that a randomly selected person has vision problems = 0.083

We need to check whether probability of randomly selecting a person who has hearing problems or vision problems by adding these probabilities.

Since they are disjoint events as the same person does not have both the problems at the same time.

So, we can calculate by adding both.

P(H∪V)=0.153+0.083=0.236

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

Write √ 3 x √ 6 in the form b √2 where b is an integer.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The catch here is to break up sqrt(6) into 2 parts that use primes to define sqrt(6)

sqrt(3)* sqrt(6)

sqrt(6) can be broken up into sqrt(2*3) which equals sqrt(2)*sqrt(3)

sqrt(3)*sqrt(2)(sqrt(3)

sqrt(3)*sqrt(3)*sqrt(2)

3*sqrt(2)

I need the answer ASAP
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

When squaring the number 5 (i.e 5^2 ) the answer is 25. 5^{2} is the same thing as 5 times 5. Basically with the square root, you are going backwards, so you are therefore finding the base of it all.

By using Nathan's expression, Mitchel should have received 2 1/4 pounds of lemon drops. By using Darren's expression, Mitchel should have received  2 1/4 pounds of lemon drops. The difference in the amount of lemon drops Mitchel should have received using Nathan's expression instead of Darren's expression is 0 pounds.

A number increases by 10%, and then decreases by 10%. Will the result be greater than, less than, or equal to the original numbe
elena-s [515]
Given that the number is x,
10% increase will give us a new number of:
110/100*x
=1.1x
10% decrease will give us a new number of:
90/100*1.1x
=0.99x
This implies the new number is less than the original number

2x-1 < x+3

5x-1 > 6-2x

x-5 < 0

solve the inequality for x.

x < 4

x > 1

X < 5

find the intersection

X ∑ {1,4}

Alternative form: {x I 1 < x < 4}

∑ indicates summation and is used as a shorthand notation for the sum of terms that follow a pattern. For example, the sum of the first 4 squared integers, 12+22+32+42, follows a simple pattern: each term is of the form i2, and we add up values from i=1 to i=4.
