Answer:

a) P(Adult)=\frac{73}{249}=0.2932=29.32%

b) P(Chocolate)=\frac{91}{249}=0.3655=36.55%

c) P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{31}{83}=0.3734=37.34%

d) P(ChildandVanilla)=\frac{10}{249}=0.0402=4.02%

e) P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{22}{47}=0.4681=46.81%

f) P(Child/strawberry)=\frac{44}{95}=0.4632=46.32%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In order to solve part a of the problem, we need to find the number of adults in the survey and divide them into the number of people in the survey by using the following formula>

P=\frac{desired}{possible}

In this case we have a total of 17+43+13 adults which gives us 73 adults and a total of 249 people surveyed so we get:

P(Adults)=\frac{73}{249}=0.2932=29.32%

b)

The same principle works for part b

there are: 40+34+17=91 people who likes chocolate ice cream the best so the probability is:

P(Chocolate)=\frac{91}{249}=0.3655=36.55%

c)

when it comes to the or statement, we can use the following formula:

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

In this case:

P(Adult)=\frac{73}{249}

P(Vanilla)=\frac{10+10+43}{249}=\frac{63}{249}

P(AdultandVanilla)=\frac{43}{249}

so:

P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{73}{249}+\frac{63}{249}-\frac{43}{249}

P(AdultorVanilla)=\frac{31}{83}=0.3734=37.34%

d)

Is a child and likes vanilla the best.

In the table we can see that 10 children like vanilla so the probability is:

P(ChildandVanilla)=\frac{10}{249}=0.0402=4.02%

e)

Likes strawberry the best, GIVEN that the person is a child.

In this case we can make use of the following formula:

P(B/A)=\frac{P(AandB)}{P(A)}

so we can get the desired probabilities. First, for the probability of the person liking strawberry the best and the person being a child, we know that 44 children like strawberry the best, so the probability is:

P(childrenandstrawberry)=\frac{44}{249}

Then, we know there are 40+10+44=94 children, so the probability for the person being a child is:

P(Child)=\frac{94}{249}

Therefore:

P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{\frac{44}{249}}{\frac{94}{249}}

P(Strawberry/Child)=\frac{22}{47}=0.4681=46.81%

f)

The same works for the probability of the person being a child given that the person likes strawberry the best.

First, for the probability of the person liking strawberry the best and the person being a child, we know that 44 children like strawberry the best, so the probability is:

P(childrenandstrawberry)=\frac{44}{249}

Then, we know there are 44+38+13 persons like strawberry, so the probability for the person liking strawberry is:

P(Child)=\frac{95}{249}

Therefore:

P(Child/Strawberry)=\frac{\frac{44}{249}}{\frac{95}{249}}

P(Child/strawberry)=\frac{44}{95}=0.4632=46.32%

Lerok [7]

Answer:

[(2)^√3]^√3 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the expression:

[(2)^√3]^√3

Now, let´s write the square roots as fractional exponents (√3 = 3^1/2):

[(2)^(3^1/2)]^(3^1/2)

Let´s apply the following exponents property: (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ and multiply the exponents:

(2)^(3^1/2 · 3^1/2)

Apply the following property of exponents: xᵃ · xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

(2)^(3^(1/2 + 1/2)) =2^3¹ = 2³ = 8

Then the expression can be written as:

[(2)^√3]^√3 = 8

Have a nice day!

The dimensions of a conical funnel are shown below: A conical funnel is shown with the height of the cone as 7 inches and the ra
Nataly [62]
The first thing we should know in this case is that by definition the flow of liquid is given by:
 Q = V / t
 Where,
 V: volume
 t: time
 The volume of the cone is given by:
 V = (pi * r ^ 2 * h) / (3)
 Where,
 r: radio
 h: height
 Substituting the values we have:
 V = (3.14 * ((3) ^ 2) * 7) / (3)
 V = 65.94 in ^ 3
 We now turn off the time of the flow equation:
 t = V / Q
 Substituting values:
 t = (65.94) / (14)
 t = 4.71 minutes
 Answer:
 It will take for all the liquid in the funnel to pass through the nozzle about:
 t = 4.71 minutes

Why does (x-2)^2+9=0 have no real solutions?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 2)² + 9 = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

(x - 2)² = - 9  ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 2 = ± \sqrt{-9}

\sqrt{-9} yields no real solutions

There is no real number when multiplied by itself gives - 9

In fact the solutions to \sqrt{-9} are said to be imaginary, that is ± 3i

where i = \sqrt{-1}

If interested investigate further.

Answer:

  1536 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In units of 5 feet, the backdrop is 3 units wide and 2 units high, for a total area of 3×2 = 6 square units.

Those same units on the scale drawing are each 16 inches. One square unit on the scale drawing is (16 in)² = 256 in². So, 6 of them have an area of ...

  6 × 256 in² = 1536 in²
