To get the probability of selecting a person who is a democrat and is favour to the issue, let us first calculate for the portions in each party who is favour on the issue.

 

p (rep & favour) = 0.4 * 0.3 = 0.12

 

p (dem & favour) = 0.6 * 0.7 = 0.42

 

Therefore the total portions who are favour is:

p (favour) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54

 

Hence the probability is:

P (dem & favour) = 0.42 / 0.54 = 0.7778 = 0.78

 

Therefore there is about 78% probability that the person selected who is favour to the issue is a democrat.

Answer:

C.) 2\sqrt{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You must use the pythagorean theorem</em>

the distance on the x axis (or a) is 6

the distance on the y axis (or b) is 10

6^{2}  + 10^{2} = 136

\sqrt{136} = 2\sqrt{34}
