According to a center for disease​ control. We can’t compute the probability.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given that, According to a center for disease control,  

The probability that a randomly selected person has hearing problems is 0.157.  

The probability that a randomly selected person has vision problems is 0.096.  

We have to find whether we can compute the probability of randomly selecting a person who has hearing problems or vision problems by adding these probabilities or not?  

The answer is no, because hearing and vision problems are not mutually exclusive.

So, some people have both hearing and vision problems.

These people would be included twice in the probability.

Hence, we can’t compute the probability.

Answer: This question cannot be answered.

Explanation:

If you add three odd numbers, the sum must also be an odd number. To get an even number, you have to add an even number of odd numbers, e.g. 2 or 4. Adding 3 odd numbers to get 30 is therefore not possible. So the question cannot be answered.

Answer:

U shaped.

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0 , f(x) = 6

when x =1 yf(x) = 0

when x = 2 f(x) = -2

x = 3 f(x) = 0

x = 4 f(x) = 6.

So the graphs falls from the left and rises to the right in the form of a U.

You can draw a rough graph to confirm this.

Answer:

x = 79°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABE = ∠BEF  = 41°           [Alternate angle ]

Now sum of angles of a triangle = 180°

Therefore,

∠EBF + ∠BEF + ∠BFE = 180°

60° + 41° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 60° - 41°

x = 79°
