Answer:

0.245 ; 0.76 ; 0.669

Step-by-step explanation:

Occupations S&E Non S &E Total {Gender wise}

Women 76 424 500

Men 169 331 500

Total {occupation wise} 245 755 1000 [Grand Total]

1) Probability (any person in S & E) = Total people in S & E / Total people = 245 / 1000 = 0.245

2) Prob (woman & works in S & E) , ie P (W ⋂ S) = Total women in S & E / Total people = 76 / 100 = 0.76

3) Prob (woman or works in S & E), ie P (W U S) = P( Women) + P (S & E) - Prob (Women & SE), ie P (W) + P (S &E) - P (W ⋂ S) = ( 500 + 245 - 76 ) / 1000 = 669 / 1000 = 0.669

box contains 15 items,4 of which are defective and 11 are good. Two items are selected. What is probability that the first is go

allsm [11]

The probability of the first item being good is 11/15.
Since we have taken 1 item out the remaining total is now 14, so the probability of getting a defective item is now 4/14.
Now you multiply the probabilities together to get (11/15)(2/7)=22/105

What function represents the pattern shown in the table?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Given:

The table of values of an exponential function.

To find:

The function for the given table of values.

Solution:

The general exponential function is:

$y=ab^x$ ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value and b is growth factor.

From the given table it is clear that the function passes through the points (1,9) and (2,36). It means the function must be true for these two points.

$9=ab^1$ ...(ii)
