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

The difference between 32.6 and a number is 10.2. Which equation can be used to solve this problem? 32.6 minus y = 10.2 y minus
guapka [62]

Answer:

32.6 - y= 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem can be written as

32.6 - y= 10.2

Where y is the number that was substracted from 32.6.

If we make y subject of formula we have

y= (32.6-10.2)

y=22.4

Which means the number that was substracted from 32.6 is 22.4 and there difference is 10.2

Which statement shows that 6.24 is a rational number?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

8/33 = 0.24242424 ...

so 6.24 repeating = 6 8/33 which is rational. It can be represented by

206/33 which is a fraction and hence rational
