Answer:

The probability that he or she is a male or a civilian employee is 1.037068

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of sworn officers = 0.696

Probability of civilians = 1 - 0.696 = 0.304

Probability of male sworn officers = 0.882*0.696 = 0.6139

Probability of male civilian = (0.304*(1-0.608)) = 0.1192

Hence probability that he or she is a male or civilian employee is

0.6139 + 0.1192 + 0.304 = 1.037068

Answer:

91.79% probability that he or she is a male or a civilian employee is

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

69.6% probability of a full-time law enforcement officers being a sworn officer.

Of those, 88.2% probability of them being males.

100 - 69.6% = 30.4% probability of a full-time law enforcement officers being a civilian employee.

Of those, 60.8% probability of them being females.

The probability that he or she is a male or a civilian employee is:

That is, civilian employees or male sworn officers work.

0.304 + 0.882*0.696 = 0.9179

91.79% probability that he or she is a male or a civilian employee is

Need help with 21-23 you suppose to simplify the expression
lora16 [44]

To solve these problems, we must remember the distributive property. This property states that a coefficient being multiplied by a polynomial in parentheses is equal to the sum of the coefficient times each of the separate terms. Using this knowledge, let's begin with number 21:

-(4x + 17) + 3(7-x)

To begin, we should distribute the negative sign through the first set of parentheses and the coefficient of positive 3 through the second set of parentheses.

-4x - 17 + 21 - 3x

Next, we must combine like terms, or add/subtract the constants terms and the variable terms in order to create a more concise expression.

-7x + 4 (your answer)

Now, we can move on to question 22 and solve it in a similar manner:

7(2n-8) - 4(12 - 8n)

Again, we will distribute the coefficients through the parentheses. However, keep in mind that the coefficient in front of the second set of parentheses is actually a NEGATIVE 4, so we must distribute the negative as well.

14n - 56 - 48 + 32n

Next, we will combine like terms (add the n terms together and subtract the constant terms).

46n - 104

Now, we can solve problem 23:

8 + 2(5f - 3)

We will again distribute through the parentheses:

8 + 10f - 6

Combine like terms after that:

10f + 2

Therefore, your answers for the three problems are as follows:

21) -7x + 4

22) 46n - 104

23) 10f + 2

Hope this helps!

Can you simplify 8/15+1/6
belka [17]

Answer:

Yes and the answer is 16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the reciprocal of the divisor

Reciprocal of 1/6 : 6/1

Now, multiply it with the dividend

8/15 ÷ 1/6 = 8/15 × 6/1

And after that you get 48/15 but after reducing the fraction, the answer is 16/5. ( In mixed form, 3 1/5 )

I hope this helps and I am a middle school student answering this question.

dem82 [27]

Answer: 3 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be set up according to slope form: y=mx+b where x represents cost per round.

$70 = $7.51x + $47.47

Subtract 47.47 to both sides: $22.53 = $7.51x

Divide both sides by 7.51: 3 = x

In Canada, households spent an average of $80.63 CDN monthly for high-speed broadband access.24 Assume that the standard deviati
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a normal distribution for the amount spent by Canadian households for high-speed broadband access, the formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = amount spent by the Canadian households.

u = mean amount spent monthly.

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = $80.63 CDN

s = $27.32 CDN

We want to find the probability that the average amount will exceed $85. It is expressed as

P(x greater than 85) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 85)

For x = 85

z = (85 - 80)/27.32 = 0.18

Looking at the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.57142

P(x greater than 85) = 1 - 0.57142 = 0.43
