In a large accounting firm, the proportion of accountants with MBA degrees and at least five years of professional experience is

75% as large as the proportion of accountants with no MBA degree and less than five years of professional experience. Furthermore, 35% of the accountants in this firm have MBA degrees, and 45% have fewer than five years of professional experience. If one of the firm's accountants is selected at random, what is the probability that this accountant has an MBA degree or at least five years of professional experience, but not both

Answer:

The probability that this accountant has an MBA degree or at least five years of professional experience, but not both is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given study,

Let A be the event that the accountant has an MBA degree

Let B be the event that the accountant has at least 5 years of professional experience.

P(A) = 0.35

P(A)^C = 1 - P(A)

P(A)^C = 1 - 0.35

P(A)^C = 0.65

P(B)^C = 0.45

P(B) = 1 - P(B)^C

P(B) = 1 - 0.45

P(B) = 0.55

P(A ∩ B ) = 0.75 P(A^C \ \cap  \  B^C)

P(A ∩ B ) = 0.75 [ 1 - P(A ∪ B) ]  because  P(A^C \ \cap  \  B^C)  = P(A \cup B)^C

SO;

P(A ∩ B ) = 0.75 [ 1 - P(A) - P(B) + P(A ∩ B) ]

P(A ∩ B ) = 0.75 [ 1 - 0.35 - 0.55 + P(A ∩ B) ]

P(A ∩ B ) - 0.75  P(A ∩ B) = 0.75 [1 - 0.35 -0.55 ]

0.25  P(A ∩ B) = 0.075

P(A ∩ B) = \dfrac{0.075}{0.25}

P(A ∩ B) = 0.3

The probability that this accountant has an MBA degree or at least five years of professional experience, but not both is: P(A ∪ B ) - P(A ∩ B)

= P(A) + P(B) - 2P( A ∩ B)

= (0.35 + 0.55) - 2(0.3)

= 0.9 - 0.6

= 0.3

∴

The probability that this accountant has an MBA degree or at least five years of professional experience, but not both is 0.3

What is the hight of a Building 1 Angle 71o Distance 20 meters
vlabodo [156]

The height of a building is 58.08 meters if the angle is 71 degree and the distance between A and B is 20 meters.

<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We have:

Angle = 71 degree

Distance between A and B = 20 meters

Let's suppose the height of the building is x meters.

From the right angle triangle applying the tan ratio:

tan71 = x/20

x = 58.08 meter

Thus, the height of a building is 58.08 meters if the angle is 71 degree and the distance between A and B is 20 meters.
