Answer:

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a triangle with a 60 degree angle in the lower left corner.  The lower right corner is a right triangle, and 8 ft is the length of the hypotenuse.  The other angle is 30 degrees.

We know the angle 60 degrees, plus the length of the hypotenuse, but need the length of the vertical side opposite the 60 degree angle.  Use the sine function here because it involves these knowns:

                               opposite side

sin 60 degrees = ------------------------ = x/(8 ft) = (√3)/2

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2x = (8 ft)(√3), or through reduction, x = (4)(√3)

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)

A national survey indicated that 30% of adults conduct their banking online. It also found that 40% are under the age of 50. and
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

I'll express all the given percentages as probabilities:

Given the events:

Banking online (Bo)

Under the age of 50 (<50)

P(Bo)= 0.30

P(<50)= 0.40

P(Bo ∩ <50)= 0.25

1) What percentage of adults do not conduct their banking online?

The event "adults that do not conduct their baking online" is the complement of the event "adults that conduct their baking online" Symbolically Bo^c

P(Bo^c)= 1 - P(Bo)= 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

2) What type of probability is 25%?

The probability P(Bo ∩ <50)= 0.25 is a joint probability, it indicates the intersection between both events.

3) Construct a contingency table showing all joint and marginal probabilities.

Check attachment.

4) What is the probability that an individual conducts banking online given that the individual is under the age of 50?

Symbolically:

P(Bo/<50)= <u> P(Bo ∩ <50) </u> = <u> 0.25 </u> = 0.625

                       P(<50)            0.40

I hope it helps!
