Answer:
1)28.8%
2)28.8%
3)43.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%
2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning
Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%
3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%
when multiplying two binomials together we use the F.O.I.L. method:
First
Outer
Inner
Last
(7-3i)(2-i)
First: 7 * 2 ..... Outter: 7 * -i .... Inner: -3i * 2 ...... Last: -3i * -i
First: 14 ...... Outter= -7i ..... Inner: -6i .... Last: 3i^2
putting this together we get 14-7i-6i+2i^2
We combine like terms and end up with 2i^2-13i+14
Absolute value because for any number given the y or answer will be no less than 0 it will.always be positive
