Answer:

a CANNOT be even ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rules of even and odd numbers

- Even numbers any number its unit digit is (0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8)

- Odd numbers any number its unit digit is (1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9)

# even + even = even ⇒ 2 + 4 = 6  

# odd + odd = even ⇒ 1 + 3 = 4  

# odd + even = odd ⇒ 1 + 2 = 3  

# even × even = even ⇒ 2 × 4 = 8

# odd × odd = odd  

⇒ 3 × 5 = 15

# odd × even = even  ⇒ 5 × 6 = 30

∵ a[b(c + d) + e] = odd

∵ odd × odd = odd  

∴ a must be odd and [b(c + d) + e] must be odd

∵ odd + even = odd

∵ odd × even = even

# Case 1

∴ b(c + d) must be odd  if e even

∵ b(c + d) is odd

∴ b must be odd and (c + d) must be odd

∵ c + d must be odd

∵ odd + even = odd

∴ c or d can be even

- We now now that e , c and d can be even

# case 2

∴ b(c + d) must be even  if e odd

∵ b(c + d) is even

∵ even × even = even

∴ b and (c + d) both can be even

∵ c + d can be even

∴ c or d can be even or odd

- We now now that e , c , d and b can be even

∴ Only a can not be even

* a CANNOT be even

Suppose the variable x is represented by a standard normal distribution. What is the probability of x &gt; 0.3 ? Please specify
uysha [10]

Answer: 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variable x is represented by a standard normal distribution, the probability of x > 0.3 will be calculated thus:

P(x > 0.3)

Then, we will use a standard normal table

P(z > 0.3)

= 1 - p(z < 0.3)

= 1 - 0.62

= 0.38

Therefore, p(x > 0.3) = 0.38

The probability of x > 0.3 is 0.38.
