The original number is 72 


(18+x)/6 = 1+14 
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15 
        - 3 = -3          (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12 
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6  (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72

Abel Alonzo, Director of Human Resources, is exploring employee absenteeism at the Plano Power Plant. Ten percent of all plant e
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : F is the event "works in the finishing department;"

and A is the event "is absent excessively."

Given : 10% of all plant employees work in the finishing department; 20% of all plant employees are absent excessively; and 7% of all plant employees work in the finishing department and are absent excessively.

i.e. P(A)= 0.20 ;  P(F)=0.10 ; P(A ∩ F) = 0.07

We know that P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)

Then,

P(A\cup F)=P(A)+P(F)-P(A\cap F)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(A\cup F)=0.20+0.10-0.07=0.23

Hence, the required answer is P(A\cup F)=0.23
