Answer:

<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.2

Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable = 0.15

2. Assume the companies function independently What is the probability that both companies become profitable?

We will answer this question, assuming these are independent events, this way:

Probability that both companies become profitable = Probability of biotechnology start-up company of becoming profitable * Probability of information technology start-up company of becoming profitable

Replacing with the values given, we have:

Probability that both companies become profitable = 0.2 * 0.15 = 0.03

<u>The probability that both companies become profitable is 0.03 or 3%.</u>

To find the average of an amount of numbers, we simply add them up and divide them by the amount of numbers we have. For example, if we have 1,2, and 3 as our numbers, we can see that we have three numbers. Next, we add them up to get 1+2+3=6. Lastly, we divide 6 by the amount of numbers we have (3) to get 6/3=2 as our average. Applying that here, we see that there are four numbers. Next, we add them up using a calculator to get 5,678.54+3,665.77+4,231.98+4,768.99 =18345.28 . Finally, we divide that number by the amount of numbers we have (using a calculator) to get 18345.28/4=4,586.32, making B your answer.

Find the radius of a circle with circumference of 45.84 meters. Use 3.14
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

3.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the circumference for a circle, we use the formula π(radius)²

The circumference give is 45.84 and the π given is 3.14

All we have to do is to just substitute them.

45.84 = 3.14(radius)²

45.84 / 3.14 = radius²

14.6 = radius²

radius = √14.6

radius = 3.82 ≅ 3.8
