Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose :

62% own an HDTV

16% own a computer

Using the addition rule : suggests that (62% + 16%) = 78% either own an HDTV or a computer.

The reasoning is wrong because ; since it is possible to own both an HDTV and also own a computer at the same time, the outcome of the addition rule is wrong as both events are independent. If both event cannot occur at the same time (mutually exclusive event) , then, the addition rule may be applied,. But since both can occur independently and each family can own an HDTV while also owning a computer, then the addition rule is wrong for the scenario described.

The decay of 277 mg of an isotope is described by the function A(t)= 277e-0.019t, where t is time in years. Find the amount left
UNO [17]
<span>The decay of 277 mg of an isotope is described by the function
A(t)= 277e-0.019t,
where t is time in years.
To find the amount left after 64 years,

We substitute t = 64 in the expression.
</span>A(t=64)= 277e-0.019(64)
or A(t=64) = 277 * e-1.216
                 = 277 * 0.29
                 = 82 mg

What is the solution of sqrt x+2-15=-3
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without brackets, we are not exactly sure what is under the root sign. There are 3 choices.

sqrt(x) + 2 - 15 = - 3

sqrt(x + 2) - 15 = - 3

sqrt(x + 2 - 15) = - 3

I think the middle one is what you intend. If not leave a note.

sqrt(x + 2) - 15 = - 3                Add 15 to both sides.

sqrt(x + 2) - 15+15 = - 3+15     Combine

sqrt(x + 2) = 12                        Square both sides

x + 2 = 12^2                             Do the right

x + 2 = 144                               Subtract 2 from both sides.

x + 2-2 = 144-2

x = 142
