weight, height, gender and age.
Underweight Healthy Weight Overweight (not Obese) Obese
Probability 0.017 0.377 0.343 0.263

Based on this data, what is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) range?

Answer:

the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) is 0.394

Step-by-step explanation:

  Given the data in the question;

                Underweight   Healthy Weight    Overweight (not Obese)    Obese

Probability       0.017              0.377                        0.343                          0.263

so

P( underweight) = 0.017

P( Healthy Weight) = 0.377

P( Overweight (not Obese) ) = 0.343

P( Obese ) = 0.263

now, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) range will be;

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) =  P( underweight) + P( Healthy Weight)

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) = 0.017 +  0.377

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) = 0.394

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) is 0.394

What is the measure of x, in degrees
Stells [14]

Answer: B is correct, 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 is the given angle, z is equivalent to that angle, so z is 70. So add those together, and you have 140. According to the rule, a triangle will always add up to 180. So 180-140=40 and there's your answer. Hope this helps!

Agata [3.3K]
You need an equation system.

First, translate the text into equations :

y = total price for the bike
x = number of months

first bike :
y = 25x + 500

second bike :
y = 50x + 200

Then you have to solve the system by placing the two equations side by side and comparing them.

25x + 500 = 50x + 200

Solve to find the value of x
