the picture in the attached figure


we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

P=size of the event space/size of the sample space

step 1

find the probability that the person is over 40 years

size of the sample size=255

size of the event space=85

P=85/255------> P=1/3


step 2

find the probability that they drink root beer

size of the sample size=255

size of the event space=75

P=75/255------> P=5/17


step 3

find the probability that the person is over 40 years of age or that they drink root beer

so

P=(1/3)+(5/17)-----> P=(17*1+3*5)/51------> P=32/51-----> 0.6275----> 62.75%


therefore


the answer is

32/51 or 62.75%

Four friends own a carwash, the first total profit in the first month was 438 and two months each other friends had made a profi
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

298

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

total friend = 4

total profit in the first month = 438

two months each friend profit = 184

solution

we consider here total profit second month is = x

so

profit second month = 184 × 4 - 438

x = 736 - 438

x = 298

so that here profit that car wash making the second month is 298

A moving company charges $840 plus $17 per hour. Another moving company charges $760 plus $22 per hour.how long is job that cost
adoni [48]
1. Make an equation.
Moving company #1: y = 17x + 840
Moving company #2: y = 22x + 760

2. Put the equations together and solve
17x + 840 = 22x + 760
-17x            -17x
840 = 5x + 760
-760        -760
80 = 5x 
5       5
16 = x

When a job is 16 hours they both charge the same thing.
