The correct answer is: AB

Explanation:

There are two ways you can understand this:

1. By drawing:

A ------ C ------B

As you can see the point C is between A and point B, hence AC + CB = AB. One thing to remember here is that point C can be anywhere between the point A and B, in that case, the answer will remain be the same AB. For instance:

A --- C -------------B

Again, AC + CB = AB.

2. By inference:

If the point C is between points A and B, it means that the point C lies on the line AB; if point C were not on the line AB, it will not be between points A and B. Hence, you can infer that AB is a line and point C lies on it and is between points A and B.

nalin [4]

Answer:

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they save nothing for retirement, or they save something. The probability of an adult saving nothing for retirement is independent of any other adult. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
