Suppose that 20% of the employees of a given corporation engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour. Moreover,

assume that 60% of all employees are male, and 8% of all employees are males who engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.
A. If we choose an employee at a random from this corporation,what is the probability that this person is a female who engages inphysical exercise activities during the lunch hour?
B. If we choose an employee at random from this corporation,what is the probability that this person is a female who does notengage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour?

Answer:

a) 0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

b) 0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

20% of employees engage in physical exercise.

This 20% is composed by:

8% of 60%(males)

x% of 100 - 60 = 40%(females).

Then, x is given by:

0.08*0.6 + 0.4x = 0.2

0.4x = 0.2 - 0.08*0.6

x = \frac{0.2 - 0.08*0.6}{0.4}

x = 0.38

0.38 = 38%

Probability of being a female who engages in exercise:

40% are female, 38% of 40% engage in exercise. So

0.38*0.4 = 0.152

0.152 = 15.2% probability that this person is a female who engages in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

B. If we choose an employee at random from this corporation,what is the probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour?

40% are female, 100% - 38% = 62% of 40% do not engage in exercise. So

0.62*0.4 = 0.248

0.248 = 24.8% probability that this person is a female who does not engage in physical exercise activities during the lunch hour.

Given angle ABC shown on the coordinate plane below.
Crank

The attached image shows the image of A"B"C" after the transformation

<h3>What is the transformation of the triangle about?</h3>

The transformation rule states:

A"B"C" = Ro90° (T(-4,3)(ABC))

This implies that one need to rotate the triangle in a 90⁰ clockwise direction, and then one need to translate the triangle.

Using the image shown, the coordinates of ABC are;

A = (-1, 2)

B = (1, 4)

C = (3, -1)

The 90⁰ rule clockwise rotation  will be:

(x,y) -- (y,-x)

So, when translated, it will be:

A' = (2, 1)

B' = (4, -1)

C' = (-1, -3)

Then the translation of the triangle using T(-4,3):

(x, y) -  (x - 4, y + 3)

So, there is:

A'' = (-2, 4)

B'' = (0, 2)

C'' = (-5, 0)

Answer:

the scale factor and the ratio of their perimeters is 8/9

Step-by-step explanation:

k^2=area 1/area 2

k^2=64/81

=square root if k^2=square root of 64/81

=<u>k</u><u>=</u><u>8</u><u>/</u><u>9</u>

In the rectangle
LekaFEV [45]
In order to form triangle PQT and quadrilateral TQRS, point T must lie on line PS which is 16 cm. long.

If the ratio of PT to TS is 5:3 and the total length of PS is 16, then PT must be 10 and TS must be 6 (10 + 6 =16) and 10:6 is the same ratio as 5:3. Another way to think about it is 5/3 = 10/6.

Now you have all the lengths that you need to find the areas of the quadrilateral and the triangle.

Make sure you draw a diagram of it!!
