Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. A pollster contacts 77 people

in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 65 of them respond and 12 refuse to respond. When 301 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 275 respond and 26 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 378 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 18-21 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond.

Answer:

0.272

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Age group Number of people Respond Refused to respond

18-21 77 65 12

22-29 301 275 26

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total 378 340 38

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now,

P (the probability of getting someone in the 18-21 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond)

= P ( 18-21 ) + P ( Refused to respond ) - P ( 18-21 and refused to respond)

= $\frac{\textup{77}}{\textup{378}}$ + $\frac{\textup{38}}{\textup{378}}$ - $\frac{\textup{12}}{\textup{378}}$

= $\frac{\textup{77 + 38 - 12}}{\textup{378}}$

= $\frac{\textup{103}}{\textup{378}}$

= 0.272

a father is 25 years older than his son.Five years ago he was 6 time old as his son was find their presents

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

the present age of the father be x and the present age of the son be y.

It is given that man is 24 years older than his son that is:

x=y+24

x−y=24..........(1)

Also, 12 years ago, he was five times as old as his son that is:

(x−12)=5(y−12)

x−12=5y−60

x−5y=−60+12

x−5y=−48..........(2)

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to eliminate x, because the coefficients of x are same. So, we get

(x−x)+(−5y+y)=−24−48

i.e. −4y=−72

i.e. y=18

Substituting this value of y in (1), we get

x−18=24

i.e. x=24+18=42

Hence, the present age of the father is 42 years and the present age of the son is 18 years.

What is the functions average rate of change over each interval?

telo118 [61]

we can use average rate of change formula

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

(a) x = -3 to x = -2

Firstly, we will find points

(-3, 0) and (-2,2)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{2-0}{-2+3}$

$=2$

(b)x = -2 to x =1

Firstly, we will find points

(-2,2) and (1,-4)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{-4-2}{1+2}$

$=-2$

(c) x = 0 to x =1

Firstly, we will find points

(0,-3) and (1,-4)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{-4+3}{1-0}$

$=-1$

(d) x = 1 to x =2

Firstly, we will find points

(1,-4) and (2,0)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{0+4}{2-1}$

$=4$

(e) x = -1 to x =0

Firstly, we will find points

(-1,0) and (0,-3)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{-3-0}{0+1}$

$=-3$

(f) x = -1 to x =2

Firstly, we will find points

(-1,0) and (2,0)

now, we can plug these values into formula

and we get

$=\frac{0-0}{2+1}$

$=0$
