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%

Which of the following correctly names a side of the triangle below?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

C. \frac{}{AB}

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this in two ways, firstly by eliminating all the wrong answers, and secondly by just knowing that the horizontal line in _\frac{}{AB} means that we are talking about a line.

This is how we solve this question by using the eliminating process.

(A. ∠C) is not the right answer because the ∠ sign lets us know that this answer represents an angle, not a line

(B. <em>B) </em>is not the right answer because it represent a point, not a line (in math we use a singular capital letter to represent points)

(D. ΔABC) is not the right answer because the Δ sign lets us know that the answer represents a triangle, not a line.

Therefore, the only option left is C. \frac{}{AB}
