Answer:

The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is \frac{12}{31}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}

The addition rule is used when you want to know the probability that 2 or more events will occur. The addition rule or addition rule states that if we have an event A and an event B, the probability of event A or event B occurring is calculated as follows:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where:

P (A): probability of event A occurring.

P (B): probability that event B occurs.

P (A⋃B): probability that event A or event B occurs.

P (A⋂B): probability of event A and event B occurring at the same time.

Mutually exclusive events are things that cannot happen at the same time. Then P (A⋂B) = 0. So, P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

In this case, being:

  • P(A)= the probability that they purchased a green sweater
  • P(B)= the probability that they purchased a gray sweater
  • Mutually exclusive events

You know:

  • 8 purchased green sweaters
  • 4 purchased gray sweaters
  • number of possible cases= 12 + 8 + 4+ 7= 21

So:

  • P(A)=\frac{8}{31}
  • P(B)=\frac{4}{31}
  • P(A⋂B) = 0

Then:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B)

P(A∪B)= \frac{8}{31}+ \frac{4}{31}

P(A∪B)= \frac{12}{31}

<u><em>The probability that they purchased a green or a gray sweater is </em></u>\frac{12}{31}<u><em></em></u>

Answer:

x= 6.85 or 89/13

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is sum of all sides added, so add them all and set them equal to 84

4(x-3) + 3x - 1 + 6x + 8 = 84

distribute

4x + 12 + 3x - 1 + 6x + 8 = 84

combine like terms

13x - 5 = 84

solve for x

x = 89/13 = 6.85
