Answer:

B) 45%

<em>The probability that neither K nor M occurs = P(K⁻∩M⁻) = 0.45 = 45%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

<em>Given data the results of a survey in the cafeteria show that 20% of students like ketchup.</em>

<em>Let "K" be the event of students like ketchup</em>

<em>P(K) = 20% = 0.20</em>

<em>Given data the results of a survey in the cafeteria show that  50% of students like mustard.</em>

<em>Let 'M' be the event of students like mustard</em>

<em>P(M) = 50% =0.50</em>

<em>Let 15% like both ketchup and mustard</em>

<em>P(K∩M) = 0.15</em>

<em>The probability that neither K nor M occurs = P(K⁻∩M⁻)</em>

<em>= P(S - (K∪M) </em>

<em>= P(S) - P(K∪M)</em>

<em>Total sample space P(S) =1</em>

<em>= 1 -  (P(K) +P(M) -P(K∩M)</em>

<em>= 1 - (0.20 + 0.50 - 0.15)</em>

<em>= 1 - 0.55 = 0.45</em>

<u><em>Final answer</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>The probability that neither K nor M occurs = P(K⁻∩M⁻) = 0.45</em>

<em></em>

The domain of both f(x) = x - 6 and g(x) = x + 6 is all real numbers. What is the domain of h(x) = f(x)/g(x)?
arlik [135]
This is a quotient (division) of two functions we must be concerned with the fact that division by zero is undefined.

Since g(x) is in the divisor position, it cannot equal 0.
x+6 \neq 0
x \neq -6 Subtract 6 from both sides to solve.
So the domain is all real numbers except -6
Set notation {x | x ∈ R, x ≠ -6}
Interval notation (-∞,-6)∪(-6,∞)
