Answer:

A. 8%

B. 39.6%

C. 58.4%

D. 41.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation to determine the probability of eligible voter selected at random

First step is to Draw up a contingincy table which will include Rows = Degree/No degree

and Columns= Vote/Not vote

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

(80%*100=80)

(100-80=20)

No Degree 504..396..900

(1000-100=900)

(56%*900=504)

(504-900=396

Totals 584..416...1000

(80+504=584)

(20+396=416)

(900+100=1,000)

Summary

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

No Degree 504..396..900

Total Totals 584..416...1000

A. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election.

P = 80/1,000

P=0.08*100

P=8%

Therefore the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election will be 8%

B. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election.

P =396/1000

P=0.396*100

P=39.6%

Therefore the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election will be 39.6%

C. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election.

P = 584/1,000

P=0.584*100

P=58.4%

Therefore the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election will be 58.4%

D. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election.

P = 416/1000

P=0.416*100

P=41.6%

Therefore the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election will be 41.6%

3 3/4 -1 3/14 in simpilist form
lakkis [162]

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

3 \frac {3} {4} -1 \frac {3} {14} =

To do this, we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

\frac {4 * 3 + 3} {4} - \frac {14 * 1 + 3} {14} =\\\frac {15} {4} - \frac {17} {14} =\\\frac {14 * 15-4 * 17} {4 * 14} =\\\frac {210-68} {56} =\\\frac {142} {56} =\\\frac {71} {28} =\\2 \frac {15} {28}

Answer:

\frac {71} {28} = 2 \frac {15} {28}

55 over 3, or 55 wrestlers for every 3 rounds, but the wrestlers value is negative, thus 55 "less" wrestlers for every 3 rounds on average.
