The correct question is:

A study of consumer smoking habits includes 167 people in the 18-22 age bracket (59 of whom smoke), 148 people in the 23-30 age bracket (31 of whom smoke), and 85 people in the 31-40 age bracket (23 of whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes

Answer:

The probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes = 0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Number consumers of age 18 - 22 = 167

Number of consumers of ages 22 - 30 = 148

Number of consumers of ages 31 - 40 = 85

Thus,total number of consumers in the survey = 167 + 148 + 85 = 400

We are also given;

Number consumers of age 18 - 22 who smoke = 59

Number of consumers of ages 22 - 30 who smoke = 31

Number of consumers of ages 31 - 40 who smoke = 23

Total number of people who smoke = 59 + 31 + 23 = 113

Let event A = someone of age 23-30 and event B = someone who smokes. Thus;

P(A) = 148/400

P(B) = 113/400

P(A & B) = 31/400

Now, from addition rule in sets which is given by;

P(A or B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A and B)

We can now solve the question.

Thus;

P(A or B) = (148/400) + (113/400) - (31/400)

P(A or B) = 230/400 = 0.575

Answer:

b. A year and a half

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find the total cost

1512+263=1775

Next, we can divide by 50 in order to find out how many months it will take for the panel to pay for itself.

\frac{1775}{50} =35.5 months

This is very close to 36 months, which is <u>A year and a half</u>.

8. The heights of female students at North Shore High School are normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard devia
gulaghasi [49]

The number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected is 12.

According to the statement

The mean of height is 175 cm

and  the standard deviation of height is 6 cm.

We use normal distribution here with formula

Z= X - μ /σ

Here X is 167.5 and μ is 175 and σ is 6 cm.

Substitute the values in it then

Z = 167.5 - 175 / 6

Z = -1.25

-1.25 have a p value 0.012

Out of 1000 students:

0.012 x 1000 = 12.

So, The number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected is 12.
