Question:  The probability that s student owns a car is 0.65, and the probability that a student owns a computer is 0.82.

a. If the probability that a student owns both is 0.55, what is the probability that a randomly selected student owns a car or computer?

b. What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not own a car or computer?

Answer:

(a) 0.92

(b) 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Applying

Pr(A or B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) – Pr(A and B)................. Equation 1

Where A represent Car, B represent Computer.

From the question,

Pr(A) = 0.65, Pr(B) = 0.82, Pr(A and B) = 0.55

Substitute these values into equation 1

Pr(A or B) = 0.65+0.82-0.55

Pr(A or B) = 1.47-0.55

Pr(A or B) = 0.92.

Hence the probability that a student selected randomly owns a house or a car is 0.92

(b)

Applying

Pr(A or B) = 1 – Pr(not-A and not-B)

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 1-Pr(A or B) ..................... Equation 2

Given: Pr(A or B)  = 0.92

Substitute these value into equation 2

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 1-0.92

Pr(not-A and not-B) = 0.08

Hence the probability that a student selected randomly does not own a car or a computer is 0.08

Each week, Alfonso earns $85 for every shift he works at the theater and $15 for every dog-walking job. He uses the expression 8
sesenic [268]
So you didn't put an actual question. To find the money he makes you just plug in the numbers.
If he works 4 shifts at the theater you replace x with 4. Then, you find 85 x 4. You do the same thing with 15y.

Find the common ratio and an explicit form in each of the following geometric sequences.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The explicit form is a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit form of a geometric sequence is given by:

a_{n}=ar^{n-1}

where an is the nth term, a is the first term of the sequence and r is the common ratio.

In this case:

a=162

The value of the common ratio is obtained by dividing one term by the previous term.

For the first and second terms:

108/162=2/3

For the second and third terms (In order to prove that 2/3 is the common ratio)

72/108=2/3

Therefore:

r=2/3

Replacing a and r in the formula:

a_{n}=162(2/3)^{n-1}

A set of composite numbers less than 12 .express it in listing and set builder methods​
marusya05 [52]

Given:

A set of composite numbers less than 12.

To find:

The set by listing and set builder methods​.

Solution:

Composite number: A positive integer is called a composite number if it has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself.

Composite numbers less than 12 are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10.

By using the listing method , the given set can be expression as:

Set = {4, 6, 8, 9, 10}

The numbers 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 are greater than 1, less than 12 and non prime numbers.

By using set builder method, the given set can be expression as:

Set = \{x|x\neq P,1

Therefore, the list and set builder notation of the given set are {4, 6, 8, 9, 10} and \{x|x\neq P,1 respectively.
