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%

<h2><u>440 ft.²</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the object = 2 (lw + wh + hl) = 2 (10× 6 + 6 × 10 + 10 × 10)

                                           = 2 ( 60 + 60 + 100) = 2 × 220 = 440 ft.²

What is the scale factor from polygon A to polygon B?
Arada [10]
You must divide the larger by the smaller... That will give you the scale factor.

For example: Rectangles 10 x 20 and 5 x 10

the scale factor us 10/5 = 20/10 = 2

Hope this helps.

If the first chapter of a certain book is 16 pages long and makes up 4% of the book, how many pages does the entire book have?
galina1969 [7]
If 16 pages equal to 4%, how many pages will equal to 100%?

4/100 = 16/x
4x=1600
X= 400

So total pages should be 400.
