poizon [28]3 years ago

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.

What elements are required for a legally valid contract?
ella [17]

Answer:The 5 elements of a legally binding contract are made up of:

An offer.

Acceptance,

Consideration.

Mutuality of obligation.

Competency and capacity.

Sometimes additional components are involved to protect the interests of all the parties.

A contract involves two or more parties who are competent to enter into a legally binding agreement. While a contract can be verbal or implied, it is usually in writing. If a contract is enforceable, a court can compel the parties to follow through on what they agreed to in the contract.

A legally enforceable contract is more than a casual promise between friends. The purpose of a business contract is to place legal requirements on the parties to follow through on the agreement. The legal system is available to mediate if a party breaches the terms of the contract.
