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

3c+2f=22<br>I have to find a number for both c and f. What would be some answers/examples?
AleksandrR [38]
It is impossible to solve for 2 unknown variables in an equation. In order to solve this, you must think mentally.

What two numbers can you add to make 22?
A good example is 15 and 8.

Can 15 and 8 be divided into smaller numbers?
Yes.

15/3 = 5
8/2 = 4
   ^
   Notice how I'm dividing by the coefficient? *3*c and *2*f

So C can be 5 and F can be 4.

3(5) + 2(4) = 22
15 + 8 = 22
22 = 22
