Sixty seven percent of the employees in a company have managerial positions, and 58 percent of the employees in the company have

Kazeer [188]

Answer: The proportion of employees who either have MBAs or are managers are 0.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of employees having managerial positions = 67%

Probability of employees having MBA degrees = 58%

Probability of managers having MBA degrees = 67%

So, using probability formulas, we get that

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\P(A\cup B)=0.67+0.58-0.67\\\\P(A\cup B)=0.58$

Hence, the proportion of employees who either have MBAs or are managers are 0.58.

If g(x) = x+1/ x-2 and h (x) =4 - x , what is the value of ( g*h) (-3)?

Lapatulllka [165]

<u>Answer:</u>

g (h (x) ) = 5/8

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following two functions and we are to find the value of $g ( h ( - 3 ) )$ :

$g ( x ) = \frac { x + 1 } { x + 2 }$

$h ( x ) = 4 - x$

Firstly, we need to find the function :

$g ( h ( x ) ) = \frac { ( 4 - x + 1 ) } { ( 4 - x - 2 ) } = \frac { 5 - x } { 2 - x }$

Now substituting the value $x=-3$ in it:

$g ( h ( x ) ) = \frac { 5 - (-3) } { 2 - (-3) }$

g (h (x) ) = 5/8
