The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make

them feel guilty (Los Angeles Times, August 15, 2012). Based on the survey results, there is a 0.39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food and a 0.27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. Moreover, there is a 0.12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons.
Required:
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both (to 2 decimals)?
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

a) 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.

b) 0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Venn's Equations for probabilities.

I am going to say that:

P(A) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food.

P(B) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

0.12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.12

0.27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

This means that P(B) = 0.27

0.39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food

This means that P(A) = 0.39

a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both (to 2 decimals)?

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.39 + 0.27 - 0.12 = 0.54

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.

b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons (to 2 decimals)?

p = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.54 = 0.46

0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

How many solutions does this equation have? d − 3 = –3 + d
Tomtit [17]
It has an infinite amount of solutions.

Explanation:
d-3 = -3+d which can be arranged as: d-3=d-3
Since they are equal to each other, no matter what number you input, your solution will be the same which means that there are an infinite amount of solutions. Let’s put this to the test and put in 5 for d. 5-3=5-3 is 2=2. They are equal to each other which means: infinite solution.

Paper clips are sold in boxes of 1000.
belka [17]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 in a box and he orders 5 boxes.

1000x5= 5000

So he orders 5000 paper clips

1 box is £15.40 and he order 5, so £15.40x5= £77

£77 is between £55 and £79.99 so he will get 6.5% discount.

After the discount he will pay  £71.99
