A telephone survey conducted by the Maritz Marketing Research company found that 43% of Americans expect to save more money next

year than they saved last year. Forty-five percent of those surveyed plan to reduce debt next year. Of those who expect to save more money next year, 81% plan to reduce debt next year. An American is selected randomly. a. What is the probability that this person expects to save more money next year and plans to reduce debt next year? b. What is the probability that this person expects to save more money next year or plans to reduce debt next year? c. What is the probability that this person expects to save more money next year and does not plan to reduce debt next year? d. What is the probability that this person does not expect to save more money given that he/she does plan to reduce debt next year?

Answer:

A) P(A⋂B) = 0.35

B) P(A⋃B)= 0.53

C) P(A⋂B′) = 0.08

D) P(A|B) = 0.778

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following from the question:

- Let Proportion of Americans who expect to save more money next year than they saved last year be

P(A) and its = 0.43

-Let proportion who plan to reduce debt next year be P(B) and it's =0.81

A) probability that this person expects to save more money next year and plans to reduce debt next year which is; P(A⋂B) = 0.43 x 0.81 = 0.348 approximately 0.35

B) probability that this person expects to save more money next year or plans to reduce debt next year which is;

P(A⋃B)= P(A) + P(B) − P(A⋂B)

So, P(A⋃B)= 0.43 + 0.45 − 0.35 = 0.53

C). Probability that this person expects to save more money next year and does not plan to reduce debt next year which is;

P(A⋂B′) = P(A) − P(A⋂B)

P(A⋂B′) =0.43 − 0.35 = 0.08

D) Probability that this person does not expect to save more money given that he/she does plan to reduce debt next year which is;

P(A|B) = [P(A⋂B)] / P(B)

So P(A|B) =0.35/0.45 = 0.778

In a game a die numbered 9 through 14 is rolled. What is the probability that the value of a roll will be a multiple of two or t
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special die.  Its six sides bear the numbers {9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14}.

There are three possibilities for getting a multiple of two:  {10, 12, 14}, and

there is only one possibilities for getting a multiple of ten:  {10, 12, 14}

The probability here of getting a multiple of two is 3/6, and that of getting a multiple of ten is 1/6.  But one of the outcomes is found in both result sets:  10.  Getting a multiple of 10 is already included in the event that the outcome is a multiple of two.  My answer here would be 3/6, or 1/2.

Show that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6<br>Solution<br>(​
vladimir2022 [97]

Proof by induction

Base case:

n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.

Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

For n+1:

(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=

(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))

We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.

We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.

If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.

The "cool" part about this proof.

Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:

If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.

Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.
