Answer:No Matt's calculation is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to multiply by the number of the area.If it is 4 inches we multiply by 4

15 x 4 =60

A=4 inches squared

A=LxW (length x width )

so you can say that:

Matt is incorrect because He skipped  the step of multiplying 2 by 2 in the formula which is where we get 4 from.

Candice spent 5 1/4 hours doing her homework. Her brother, Ronald, spent 1/2 that number of hours doing his homework. How many h
Elden [556K]

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework

y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework

we know that

x=5\frac{1}{4}\ hours

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

5\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{5*4+1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}\ hours

so

x=\frac{21}{4}\ hours -------> equation A

y=\frac{1}{2}x ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

y=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{21}{4}=\frac{21}{8}\ hours

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

\frac{21}{8}\ hours=2.625=2+0.625=2+\frac{5}{8}=2\frac{5}{8}\ hours

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

2\frac{5}{8}\ hours

Real estate ads suggest that 56 % of homes for sale have​ garages, 27 % have swimming​ pools, and 16 % have both features. ​a) W
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) 0.4

b) 0.28

c) The events are not independent

d) The events are not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call:

Gar = {homes with garage}

Pool = {homes with pool},  

A = {homes with pool and garage}  = Gar ∩ Pool

The data we are given is:

P(Gar) = 0.56

P(Pool) = 0.27

P(A) = 0.16

a) B = {homes with garage but not pool}. This set B is the set Gar without set A: B = Gar / A  

P(B) = P(Gar) - P(A) = 0.4

b) This is a conditional probability:

P(Pool | Gar) = P(Gar ∩ Pool) / P(Gar) = 0.16/0.56 = 0.28

c) To be independent events, it must be, by definition:

P(Gar ∩ Pool) = P(Gar) * P(Pool)

0.16 ≠ 0.56*0.27 = 0.15

Then, the events Gar and Pool are not independent

d) Gar and Pool are not mutually exclusive, because there are houses with both pool and garage. We know that because P(A) is not zero.
