Answer:

f(-1) is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x) = \left\{        \begin{array}{ll}            -3x-11 & \quad x \leq -5\\            2 & \quad x > 5        \end{array}    \right.

And we want to find f(-1).

The piecewise function only gives us values for <em>x-</em>values less than or equal to -5 or greater than 5.

Since -1 is fits neither of those conditions, it is not defined.

Our answer is undefined.

12345 [234]

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the same point at the same time, Samuel and Heather rode their bikes in the same direction

  • Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather
  • After 3.5 h Samuel stopped for a half-hour break, but Heather kept going
  • Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

We need to find how fast each was going

Assume that Heather's speed is x km/h

∵ Heather's speed = x km/h

∵ Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather

∴ Samuel's speed = x + 3 km/h

The formula of the distance is distance = speed × time

∵ Samuel travel for 3.5 hours

- Find the distance that Samuel traveled in 3.5 h

∴ Samuel distance = (x + 3) × 3.5

- Multiply the bracket by 3.5 to simplify

∴ Samuel distance = 3.5x + 10.5

∵ Samuel took a break for half hour

∵ Heather kept going

∵ At the end of the break, Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

- That means Heather was going for 4 hours (3.5 + 0.5), and her

   distance is longer than Samuel distance by 8 km

∴ Heather distance = x × 4 = 4x

- Subtract the distance of Samuel from the distance of Heather

   and equate the difference by 8

∵ 4x - (3x + 10.5) = 8

∴ 4x - 3x - 10.5 = 8

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 0.5x - 10.5 = 8

- Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ 0.5x = 18.5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 37

∵ x represents Heather's speed

∴ Heather's speed = 37 km/h

∵ x + 3 represents Samuel's speed

∴ Samuel's speed = 37 + 3 = 40 km/h

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

It is estimated % of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that % of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income ins
katovenus [111]

Complete question :

It is estimated 28% of all adults in United States invest in stocks and that 85% of U.S. adults have investments in fixed income instruments (savings accounts, bonds, etc.). It is also estimated that 26% of U.S. adults have investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places. (b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?

Answer:

0.929 ; 0.306

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information:

P(stock) = P(s) = 28% = 0.28

P(fixed income) = P(f) = 0.85

P(stock and fixed income) = p(SnF) = 26%

a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen stock investor also invests in fixed income instruments? Round your answer to decimal places.

P(F|S) = p(FnS) / p(s)

= 0.26 / 0.28

= 0.9285

= 0.929

(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen U.S. adult invests in stocks, given that s/he invests in fixed income instruments?

P(s|f) = p(SnF) / p(f)

P(S|F) = 0.26 / 0.85 = 0.3058823

P(S¦F) = 0.306 (to 3 decimal places)
