Answer:

Probability that the pointer will stop on an odd number or a number greater than 5 is 0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that it is equally probable that the pointer on the spinner shown will land on any one of eight regions, numbered 1 through 8.

And we have to find the probability that the pointer will stop on an odd number or a number greater than 5.

Let the Probability that pointer will stop on an odd number = P(A)

Probability that pointer will stop on a number greater than 5 = P(B)

Probability that pointer will stop on an odd number and on a number greater than 5 =  P(A\bigcap B)

Probability that pointer will stop on an odd number or on a number greater than 5 =  P(A\bigcup B)

Here, Odd numbers = {1, 3, 5, 7} = 4

Numbers greater than 5 = {6, 7, 8} = 3

Also, Number which is odd and also greater than 5 = {7} = 1

Total numbers = 8

Now, Probability that pointer will stop on an odd number =  \frac{4}{8}  = 0.5

Probability that pointer will stop on a number greater than 5 =  \frac{3}{8}  = 0.375

Probability that pointer will stop on an odd number and on a number greater than 5 =  \frac{1}{8}  = 0.125

Now,    P(A\bigcup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\bigcap B)

                            =  0.5 + 0.375 - 0.125

                            =  0.75

Hence, probability that the pointer will stop on an odd number or a number greater than 5 is 0.75.

The costs of 5 similar digital cameras and 3 similar video cameras is $3,213. Each video camera costs 4 times as much as each di
mariarad [96]
Let,
digital cameras be "x"
video cameras be "y"
Now,
According to the question,
5x + 3y = $3,213..................................................equation (1)
y = 4x..................................................................equation (2)

Taking equation (1)
5x + 3y = $3,213
Substituting the value of "y" from equation (2), we get,
5x + 3(4x) = $3,213
5x + 12x = $3,213
17x = $3,213
x = $3,213 / 17
x = $189

Taking equation (2)
y = 4x
Substituting the value of "x", we get,
y = 4 ($189)
y = $756

Now,
John buys a digital and a video camera. So, it costs him ($189 + $756) = $945
