You want to find P(\text{no exercise}\mid\text{woman}); that is, given that you randomly choose from the pool of women, the probability that she does not exercise.

By definition of conditional probability,

P(\text{no exercise}\mid\text{woman})=\dfrac{P(\text{no exercise AND woman})}{P(\text{woman})}

496 of the total 1026 people are woman, and 341 of the 1026 people are women and do not exercise, so

P(\text{no exercise}\mid\text{woman})=\dfrac{\frac{341}{1026}}{\frac{496}{1026}}=\dfrac{341}{496}=0.6875\approx0.688

A simpler way of doing this is to look at what's called the marginal distribution of women in the table. Basically this comes down to ignoring all but the data pertaining to the women. There's a total of 496 women, and 341 of them do not exercise. So the probability that a given woman does not exercise is 341/496.

Tanner made his aunt a garden. The width is 9 4/5 ft and the length is 5 3/4 ft. What is the area of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

56.35 ft^2, or 56 7/20 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of doing this problem quickly is to convert both measurements into improper fractions before multiplying them:

9 4/5 = 49/5 and 5 3/4 = 23/4.

Then the area of the garden is 49/5 times 23/4, or 1127/20 ft^2, or

56.35 ft^2, or 56 7/20 ft^2.

Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B - 150 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously the first step is to find the missing measurement. To do this, you use the Pythagorean theorem; <em>a² + b² = c².</em>

In this case, let's label the the missing side A, the height B, and the hypotenuse C.

<em>X² + 15² = 25²</em>

Then you must figure out what 15² and 25².

<em>15² = 225</em>

<em>25² = 625</em>

The next step is to subtract 15² (225) from 25² (625), which will give you the result of X².

<em>625 - 225 = 400. </em>

Now you know X² = 400, you can find the square root of 400 to give you the length of the triangle.

<em>√400 = 20.</em>

<u>The missing length of the triangle is 20 yards. </u>

Now it's just a matter of finding the area by using the formula;

<em>A = </em>\frac{bh}{2}

Or,

<em>(20 × 15) ÷ 2 = 150.</em>

<u>And there's your answer. Don't forget to add the units.</u>
