Answer:

0.3875

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a group of college students, the ratio of men to women is 3:1 (i.e., 3 to 1). In a recent survey, 40% of the men in this group selected hiking as their favorite outdoor activity whereas 35% of the women in the group selected hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

From the above information we find that

P(Men) = 0.75 and P(women) = 0.25 (since men:women = 3:1)

Out of men prob for not selecting hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

=1-0.6 = 0.4

Out of women prob for not selecting hiking as their favorite outdoor activity

=1-0.35 = 0.65

Prob for a randomly selected person that hiking is not his/her favorite outdoor activity = Prob (man and not selected activitiy) + P(women and not selected activity) (since men and women are mutually exclusive and exhaustive)

=0.75(0.4)+0.25(0.35)\\= 0.30+0.0875\\\\=0.3875

What is the solution to the system of equations shown in the graph?
Katen [24]
The solution is where both lines intersect. First find the x-coordinate which we will find by going to the left two units. That means x = -2. Now going up one unit, which gives us y = 1

(-2, 1)

Solve for x. round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
iris [78.8K]

Answer: x=11.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angle of 55 degrees, you know that the adjacent side is "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is 20.

Therefore, you need to remember the following identity:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Then, knowing that:

\alpha=55\°\\adjacent=x\\hypotenuse=20

 You need to substitute these values intocos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}:

 cos(55\°)=\frac{x}{20}

Now, you can solve for "x":

20*cos(55\°)=x\\x=11.471

Rounded to the nearest hundreth:

x=11.47

12x + 2y =6a. solve for yb. what is the slope and what is the y-intercept?
diamong [38]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The given equation is

12x + 2y = 6

we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.

12x + 2y = 6

If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes

12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x

2y = 6 - 12x

2y = - 12x + 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

y = - 6x + 3

Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,

slope = - 6

y intercept = 3
