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>

y =  \dfrac{2}{7} x - 3

When x = 4,

y =  \dfrac{2}{7} (4) - 3

y =  \dfrac{8}{7} - 3

y = -\dfrac{13}{7}

Pre Calc work, I need help with writing piece wise functions from graphs. Can anyone help? Giving brainliest
Andrei [34K]

The definition of the piece-wise function is:

  • f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2
  • f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has different definitions, depending on the input.

In this problem, for inputs between -2 and 2, the function is a line that goes through (-2,-4) and (2,6). The slope is:

m = (6 - (-4))/(2 - (-2)) = 2.5.

The y-intercept is of b = 1, hence the rule is:

f(x) = 2.5x + 1, -2 \leq x \leq 2

For x greater than 2 and less than 6, the function is constant at -3, hence the rule is:

f(x) = -3, 2 < x < 6.
