At my favorite drugstore, comic books used to cost 10¢ .
(It wasn't yesterday, or even last week. In fact, the drugstore
was burned to the ground during the riots in 1964, and never
rebuilt. But I digress.)
Normally, my parents only let me buy one comic book at a time.
But before I left for summer camp, I could empty my little piggy
and spend it ALL on comic books, all at the same time ! That
was as much fun as the whole 2 weeks at camp !
I emptied my little pig. I had 67¢ in there. I headed for the
drugstore. For the whole rest of the afternoon, I stood at the
magazine rack, carefully deciding on my selections.
How many comic books did I buy ?
What was the remainder ? (How much money did I have left ?)
Answer:
Required Probability =0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first arrange the data given in a more presentable way: So, we have the following probabilities for different categories.
Underweight (UW) = 0.019
Healthy Weight (HW) = 0.377
Overweight but Not Obese (NO) = 0.35
Obese (O) = 0.254
<em>Now, let's calculate the probability that a randomly selected American adult who weighs more than the healthy weight range is obese:</em>
Required Probability = Probability(obese)/Probability(Overweight + Obese)
= P (O) /P(NO + O)
=0.254/(0.35+0.254)
Required Probability =0.421
where, O for Obese and NO for Not Obese or Overweight but Not Obese.
So, the correct answer = 0.421
Answer:
99.96 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rhombus is (pq)/2, where p and q represent the two diagonals:
A=pq/2
=(16.8)(11.9)/2
=199.92/2
=99.96 square feet
