If you would like to know how many gallons of paint will Henry need to paint his living room, you can calculate this using the following steps:

the ceiling: 24 ft * 18 ft = 432 ft squared
walls: 2 * 24 ft * 9 ft + 2 * 18 ft * 9 ft = 2 * 24 * 9 + 2 * 18 * 9 = 432 + 324 = 756 ft squared

432 ft squared + 756 ft squared = 1188 ft squared

1 gallon of paint ... 450 ft squared
x gallons of paint = ? ... 1188 ft squared

1 * 1188 = 450 * x
1188 = 450 * x /450
x = 1188 / 450
x = 2.64 gallons of paint

The correct result would be 2.64 gallons of paint.

Let V be the event that a computer contains a virus, and let W be the event that a computer contains a worm. Suppose P(V) = 0.17

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the computer not containing neither a virus nor a worm is expressed as P( $V^{C}$ ∩ $W^{C}$ ) , where P( $V^{C}$ ) is the probability that the event V doesn't happen and P( $W^{C}$ ) is the probability that the event W doesn't happen.
