Answer:

The probability is 1/4 or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 100% matches the 100 value, we can have the percentage as the number of people that actually likes a particular movie

This mean; 20 people liked star Trek, 75 people liked Star wars and 10 people liked both

Let the number of people that liked neither be x

Mathematically, we can have the sum as follows for the set notation;

100 = (75-10) + (20-10) + 10 + x

100 = 65 + 10 + 10 + x

100 = 85 + x

x = 100-85

x = 15

What this mean is that 15 persons liked neither

The probability of selecting a random that likes both movies is simply the number of people that liked both/total number of people on the survey

Mathematically, that will be 10/100 = 1/10

For the probability that likes neither, we have the number that liked neither as 15

So the probability of selecting someone from here is 15/100 = 3/20

Since we have or between both probabilities, we will need to add both

So, mathematically, we have it that;

3/20 + 1/10 = (3 + 2)/20 = 5/20 = 1/4 or simply 25%

Given the value of the hypotenuse c for a 30°-60°-90° triangle, write the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

a= c/2

b= (c/2)×√3

side b is the side with the 60 degree angle.

side a is the side with the 30 degree angle.

using the theorem that the side with the 60 degree × 2 = length of side c and the side with the 60 degree × √3 = b.

I get the following equations shown above.

A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration? Is this acceleration higher than that of a car
77julia77 [94]

The average acceleration of an object is calculated as the final speed minus the initial speed divided by the elapsed time.

So:

a = \frac{V_f-V_0}{T_2-T_1}

Where

V_f= final speed

V_0 = initial speed

T_2-T_1 = elapsed time.

Thus:

The acceleration of the cyclist is:

a = \frac{8-0}{3}

a = 2.667m / s ^ 2

The acceleration of the car is:

a = \frac{30-0}{8}

a = 3.75 m/s^2

The average acceleration of the car is higher than the average acceleration of the cyclist.
