Answer:

55.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 74 people answered yes and 71 answered no. So the total number of people who answered the question was 74 + 71 = 145.

Now, of those 145, 74 answering yes, then the probability of saying yes is:

P (Y) = 74/145

We know that 21 (15 + 6) are men, therefore the probability of being a man is:

P (M) = 21/145

Finally, we also know how many people answering that yes, they are men, they are 15, therefore the probability is:

P (Y and M) = 15/145

Finally, we use the "sieve" formula, for the probability that he is a man or that he answered yes.

P (Y or M) = P (Y) + P (M) - P (Y and M)

Replacing we have:

P (Y or M) = 74/145 + 21/145 - 15/145

P (Y or M) = 80/145

P (Y or M) = 0.552

In other words, the probability is 55.2%

2. If f(x) = x - 7 and g(x) = 2x + 5, then what is f(x) * g(x)?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2x² - 9x - 35

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) × g(x) = (x - 7)(2x + 5)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x + 5) - 7(2x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 5x - 14x - 35 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - 9x - 35
