Answer:

53% probability that a person owns a cat or a dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to solve this question building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities,

We have that:

P(A) is the probability that a person owns a dog.

P(B) is the probability that a person owns a cat.

8% of the population owned both a cat and a dog

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.08

22% owned cats

This means that P(B) = 0.22

39% of the population owned dogs

This means that P(A) = 0.39

Find the probability that a person owns a cat or a dog.

This is P(A \cup B), which is given by:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

So

P(A \cup B) = 0.39 + 0.22 - 0.08 = 0.53

53% probability that a person owns a cat or a dog.

Answer:

0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage who owned dogs, n(D)=39%

Percentage who owned cats, n(C)=22%

Percentage who owned both dogs and cats, n(C\cap D)=8\%

From Probability Theory

P(C\cup D)=P(C)+P(D)-P(C\cap D)\\=0.22+0.39-0.08\\P(C\cup D)=0.53

The probability that a person owns a cat or a dog therefore is 0.53.

Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring or Quadratic Formula.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 3x - 10. = 0

x2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

(x2 + 2x) (-5x - 10) = 0

x (x + 2) - 5 (x + 2) = 0

(x - 5) (x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0 x + 2 = 0

x = 5 or x = - 2.

I believe the answer is ten pairs...
The two rows each have 3 pairs touching, and the four columns each have 1, which makes 2*3 + 4*1 = 10

David goes into a candy store with $5.00. He buys 9 peppermints for $0.15 each and some sour candies. Each sour candy costs $0.2
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy
