Answer:

The events being a heavy smoker and having emphysema are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of women = 2000

Number of heavy smoker = 340

Number of women who has emphysema = 25

Number of women who has emphysema and are heavy smoker = 21

\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

P(Smoker) =

P(S) = \dfrac{340}{2000}=0.17

P(emphysema) =

P(E) = \dfrac{25}{2000}= 0.0125

P(Smoker and emphysema) =

P(S\cap E) = \dfrac{21}{2000} = 0.0105

Two events A and B are said to be independent if

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Checking conditions for independence:

P(S)\times P(E) = 0.17\times 0.0125=0.002125\\P(S)\times P(E) \neq 0.0105\\P(S)\times P(E)\neq P(S\cap E)

Thus, the events being a heavy smoker and having emphysema are not independent.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

572.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Fórmula del ángulo de elevación =

tan θ = Opuesto / Adyacente

θ = 3 °

Opuesto = 30 m

Adyacente =?

Por eso

bronceado 3 = 30 m / x

Multiplicar cruzada

bronceado 3 × x = 30 m

x = 30 m / bronceado 3

x = 572.43410063m

Aproximadamente = 572.4 m

Answer:

  m∠Y = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of complementary angles is 90°. If we let s and y represent m∠S and m∠Y, respectively, the angle measures in degrees satisfy ...

  s + y = 90

  (4y -110) +y = 90 . . . . . . . . substitute for s

  5y = 200 . . . . . . . . . add 110

  y = 40 . . . . . . . divide by 5

The measure of angle Y is 40°.
