Answer: 0.206
Step-by-step explanation: the probability of employees that needs corrective shoes are =8%= 8/100 = 0.08
Probability of employees that needs major dental work = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15
Probability of employees that needs both corrective shoes and dental work = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03
The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (Probability an employee will need correct shoes and not need dental work) or (probability that an employee will need dental work or not corrective shoes)
Probability of employee not needing corrective shoes = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92
Probability of employee not needing dental work = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (0.08×0.85) + (0.15×0.92) = 0.068 + 0.138 = 0.206 = 20.6%
The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or dental work = 0.206.
Please note that the word "either" implies that we must choose one of the two options (corrective shoes or dental work) and not both.
Answer:
- <u>The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1).</u>
Explanation:
The <em>odds </em>of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.
When you know the <em>probability</em> of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.
Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:
You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.
Therefore:
- Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)
the answer for 53. is the gram.
