Anne is choosing a contractor. She has narrowed down her selection to two companies and will base her decision on the likelihood
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The joint probability for two different things is equal to the product of the individual probabilities.

For contractor A we have:

Prob that the job is done in time  = 0.95

Prob that the job is done within the budget = 0.97

Prob of both things at the same time P = 0.95*0.97 = 0.92

For company B we have:

Prob that the job is done in time  = 0.98

Prob that the job is done within the budget = 0.93

Prob of both things at the same time P = 0.98*0.93 = 0.91

Then the best contractor is contractor A, (with a joint probability of p = 0.92) and the correct option is option A.

satela [25.4K]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is sum of scores/ number of scores, from the question, average is given as 15.

Let the missing score be x

Equation for the questionis represented as: 12 + 18 + x /3 = 15

30 + x /3 = 15

Cross multiply

30 + x = 15×3

30 + x = 45

Subtract 30 from both sides

30 + x -30 = 45 -30

x = 15.

Check:

12 + 18 + 15/3 = 15

45/3 = 15

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

George paid a total of $985 to rent a storage unit.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

290 + 5m = 985

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given information</u>:

  • Initial payment = $290
  • Total payment = $985
  • Extra amount each month = m
  • Length of rental =  5 months

From the <u>given information</u>, we can create the following <u>equation</u>:

Initial payment <u>plus</u> extra amount each month for 5 months <u>equals</u> total payment.

⇒ 290 + 5m = 985

<u>To solve the equation</u>:

Subtract 290 from both sides:

⇒ 290 + 5m - 290 = 985 - 290

⇒ 5m = 695

Divide both sides by 5:

⇒ 5m ÷ 5 = 695 ÷ 5

⇒ m = 139

Therefore, the extra amount George paid each month was $139.
