The value of the probability P(A) is 0.40
<h3>How to determine the
probability?</h3>
The given parameters about the probability are
P(A or B) = 0.6
P(B) = 0.3
P(A and B) = 0.1
To calculate the probability P(A), we use the following formula
P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)
Substitute the known values in the above equation
0.1 = 0.3 + P(A) - 0.6
Collect the like terms
P(A)= 0.1 - 0.3 + 0.6
Evaluate the expression
P(A)= 0.4
Hence, the value of the probability P(A) is 0.40

Answer:
New mean length of these 17 people=11.62
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers</em>
L=l×n
where;
L=total length (cm)
l=mean length (cm)
n=number of children
replacing;
L=6.7×6=40.2 cm
The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm
<em>Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers</em>
total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults
where;
mean length of adults=14.3
number of adults=11
replacing;
total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm
<em>Step 3: Determine the new mean length</em>
new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children
where;
total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm
number of adults and children=11+6=17
replacing;
new mean length=197.5/17=11.62
