Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are disjoint or mutually exclusive if they cannot occur together.  

That is, if two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of them both taking place at one time is null.

That is, if events A and B are mutually exclusive then, P (A and B) = 0.

The events in this case can be defined as follows:

<em>A</em> = adults in a country bet on professional sports

<em>B</em> = male adults

The two events A and B are not mutually exclusive. This is because an adult in a country betting on professional sports can either be a male or a female.

So, a person can be both male and bet on professional sports at the same time.

Thus, the events A and B are not mutually exclusive.

The correct option is C.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

m , m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary

so

m ----> equation A

mS=180\° -----> equation B

we have

m>S=70\°

substitute in the equation B and solve for m<R

m

m

m -----> substitute in equation A

A student has scores of 85,83,98 and 77 on four quizzes. What must she score on the fifth quiz to have an average of at least 84
natulia [17]
We need to find the solution to:
(85 + 83 + 98 + 77 + x) / 5 >= 84 where x is the score in the last test
This is the same as:
(343 + x) / 5 >= 84
Multiplying both sides by 5 we get
343 + x >= 420
Subtracting 343 from both sides we get
x >= 77

There for the student must get a score of at least 77 on the last tests.

A searchlight is shaped like a parabola. If the light source is located 3 feet from the base along the axis of symmetry and the
Elis [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8√3 ≈ 13.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The light source is usually placed at the focus, so the focus-vertex distance is p=3 ft. The equation for the parabola with its vertex at the origin is ...

  y = 1/(4p)x^2

  y = 1/12x^2

The opening for some y-value extends ±x from the axis of symmetry, so is a total of 2x in width.

For y=4, the corresponding value of x is ...

  4 = 1/12x^2

  48 = x^2

  √48 = x = 4√3

Then the width of the searchlight opening is ...

  2(4√3 ft) = 8√3 ft ≈ 13.86 ft
