Given the table below which shows the result of a survey that asked 2,881 people whether they are involved in any type of charity work.

\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
 &Frequently&Occassionally&Not at all&Total\\[1ex]
Male&227&454&798&1,479\\
Female &205&450&747&1,402\\
Total&432&904&1,545&2,881
\end{tabular}

Part A:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is frequently or occassinally involved in charity work is given by

P(being \ frequently \ involved \ or \ being \ occassionally \ involved)\\ \\= \frac{432}{2881} + \frac{904}{2881} = \frac{1336}{2881}=\bold{0.464}



Part B:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is female or not involved in charity work at all is given by

P(being
 \ female \ or \ not \ being \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1402}{2881} + \frac{1545}{2881}-\frac{747}{2881} = 
\frac{2200}{2881}=\bold{0.764}



Part C:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is male or frequently involved in charity work is given by

P(being
 \ male \ or \ being \ frequently \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1479}{2881} + \frac{432}{2881}-\frac{227}{2881} = 
\frac{1684}{2881}=\bold{0.585}



Part D:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is female or not frequently involved in charity work is given by

P(being
 \ female \ or \ not \ being \ frequently \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1402}{2881} + \frac{904}{2881} + \frac{1545}{2881}-\frac{450}{2881}-\frac{747}{2881} = 
\frac{2654}{2881}=\bold{0.921}



Part E:

The events "being female" and "being frequently involved in charity work" are not mutually exclusive because being a female does not prevent a person from being frequently involved in charity work.

Indeed from the table, there are 205 females who are frequently involved in charity work.

Therefore, the answer to the question is "No, because 205 females are frequently involved charity work".

Miss Martinez purchase two kinds of candy for a math game. Diplo pops cost $.50 each and the sneakers cost $.60 each. She purcha
torisob [31]

Answer:

The number of  Diplo pops  D = 18

The number of sneakers   S = 12

Step-by-step expla nation:

Given:

Cost of one Diplo pops = $.50

Cost of one sneakers  = $.60

Total number of candies purchased = 30 pieces

cost of the number of candies purchased = $16.80

To Find:

Number of each type of candies = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of  Diplo pops be D

The number of sneakers be  S

Total number of candies = 30

S+D = 30

S= 30 - D--------------------------------------(1)

and cost of 30 candies is $16.80

S(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80----------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

(30 - D)(0.50) + D(0.60) = 16.80

15 - 0.50D +0.60D = 16.80

15 + 0.10D =  16.80

0.10D = 16.80 - 15

0.10D = 1.80

D = \frac{1.80}{0.10}

D = 18

So the number of  Diplo pops = 18

Number of sneakers S= 30 - 18 = 12

Find the common difference of the sequence shown 1/6,1/3,1/2,2/3,......
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Common Difference(d) is    

               d=\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is :

                 \frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{3} ,\frac{1}{2} ,\frac{2}{3} .........

If a sequence has a constant common difference throughout the sequence, then the sequence is called Arithmetic Progression.

Considering a sequence:

       a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4..........\\

a_2-a_1=a_3-a_2=a_4-a_3=a_n-a_n_-_1=d

where 'd' is the common difference of the A.P.

Similarly, finding the common difference of the given sequence.

       

                           \frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{6}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}=d\\

                              d=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{(2)(1)-(1)(1)}{6}=\frac{1}{6}

                                   d=\frac{1}{6}

Common Difference(d) is    

               d=\frac{1}{6}
