First, look at how many numbers are divisible by 2 and 3. 
12,72, and 108 and are all divisible by both 2 and 3. That makes 3 out of 8 numbers.
Depending on what form you have to put the probability, that makes it 3:8, 3 out of 8, or 37.5% probability.

1500 customers hold a VISA card; 500 hold an American Express card; and, 75 hold a VISA and an American Express. What is the pro
alex41 [277]

Answer:

There is 15% probability that a customer chosen at random holds a VISA card, given that the customer has an American Express card.

P(VISA \:| \:AE) = 15\%\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of customers having a Visa card = 1,500

Number of customers having an American Express card = 500

Number of customers having Visa and American Express card = 75

Total number of customers = 1,500 + 500 = 2,000

We are asked to find the probability that a customer chosen at random holds a VISA card, given that the customer has an American Express card.

This problem is related to conditional probability which is given by

P(A \:| \:B) = \frac{P(A \:and \:B)}{P(B)}

For the given problem it becomes

P(VISA \:| \:AE) = \frac{P(VISA \:and \:AE)}{P(AE)}

The probability P(VISA and AE) is given by

P(VISA and AE) = 75/2000

P(VISA and AE) = 0.0375

The probability P(AE) is given by

P(AE) = 500/2000

P(AE) = 0.25

Finally,

P(VISA \:| \:AE) = \frac{P(VISA \:and \:AE)}{P(AE)}\\\\P(VISA \:| \:AE) = \frac{0.0375}{0.25}\\\\P(VISA \:| \:AE) = 0.15\\\\P(VISA \:| \:AE) = 15\%\\

Therefore, there is 15% probability that a customer chosen at random holds a VISA card, given that the customer has an American Express card.

The area of a rectangle is 259 cm sq and its length is 18.5cm find its breadth and perimeter
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let it's breadth be x

area of rectabgle=l*b

259=18.5*b

259/18.5=b

14=b

perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)

=2(18.5+14)

=2*32.5

=65 cm

A man invests his savings in two accounts ,one paying6% and the other paying 10% simple interest per year. He puts twice as much
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: he invested $46062.5 at 6% and $23031.25 at 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount which he invested in the account paying 6% interest.

Let y represent the amount which he invested in the account paying 10% interest.

He puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky.. This means that

x = 2y

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Considering the account paying 6% interest,

P = $x

T = 1 year

R = 6℅

I = (x × 6 × 1)/100 = 0.06x

Considering the account paying 10% interest,

P = $y

T = 1 year

R = 10℅

I = (y × 10 × 1)/100 = 0.1y

His annual interest is $7370dollars. it means that

0.06x + 0.2y = 7370 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

0.06 × 2y + 0.2y = 7370

0.12y + 0.2y = 7370

0.32y = 7370

y = 7370/0.32

y = $23031.25

x = 2 × 23031.25

x = 46062.5
