Answer:

P(A or B) = 0.291 +0.159 -0.0562=0.3938

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The total probability rule is "used to find the probability of an event, A, when you don’t know enough about A’s probabilities to calculate it directly. Instead, you take a related event, B, and use that to calculate the probability for A".

Solution to the problem

The data given:

                                                             Pedestrian

                                       Intoxicated                       Not intoxicated     Total          

Intoxicated                           50                                        91                    141

Not intoxicated                    209                                     539                 748

Total                                     259                                      630                889

The rows on this case are associated to the tyep of Driver.

Let's define the following events:

A =Pedestrian was intoxicated

B= Driver was intoxicated

And we can find the probabilities for the events A and B like this with the info given:

P(A) = \frac{50+209}{889}=0.291

P(B) = \frac{50+91}{889}=0.159

We can find also the probaility that pedestrian was intoxicated AND driver was ​intoxicated, like this:

P(A and B) = \frac{50}{889}=0.0562

Because the intersection for the events A and B is 50 and the grand total is 889.

Now we can use the total rule of probability given by this:

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

And since w ehave everything to replace we got:

P(A or B) = 0.291 +0.159 -0.0562=0.3938

Tessa is in the track team. For practice and exercise, she runs 2.25 miles each day. At the end of 14 days, how many total miles
lidiya [134]
2.25 miles in 1 day

1day=2.25mi

14days=x miles

 1day           14days
_______ =  ________
 2.25mi          x mi

Cross multiply
1x=31.5
divide both sides by 1
x=31.5miles

Answer=31.5miles

An obtuse triangle is formed if there is an angle that has a measure of more than 90 degrees. You can determine if an obtuse angle is formed by two sides of a triangle if it meet this condition:

Let a and b be two sides of a triangle and c is the longest side:
a^{2}  +  b^{2}  \ \textless \   c^{2}

So taking your given:

10^{2}  +  15 ^{2} < c^{2}
100 + 225   < c^{2}
325  <  c^{2}

To get the smallest possible number, just get the square root of both sides:

\sqrt{325} < \sqrt{c^{2} }
  18.03  < c

So your smallest possible whole number is 19
