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.

Jane is cooking in her recipe indicates that she should add several spices she needs to add 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt, 1 1/4 tea
polet [3.4K]

Answer: total number of teaspoons of spices in the dish =3.25 teaspoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Listing the spices and their quantities , we have

Salt = 1/2 teaspoon

Orégano =1 1/4 teaspoon =5/4 teaspoons

Basil = 3/4 teaspoon

Pepper= in half as much pepper as salt -- This means that the quantity of pepper should be  50% more in quantity  than salt

Therefore quantity of pepper = 50% x 1/2 = 0.5 x 0.5= 0.25

0.25 +  1/2 = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75 = 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Step 2

Adding the amount of spices we have

1/2 + 5/4+ 3/4+ 3/4 = 2+ 5+3+ 3/4 = 13/4 = 3 1/4 teaspoons of spices  = 3.25 teaspoons of spices .

Zubin has two pieces of string. One piece is 36 inches long and the other is 48 inches long. He wants to cut them into equal pie
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

12 pieces each:

S_1 = 3\ in

S_2= 4\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_1 = 36\ in -- first string

S_2 = 48\ in --- second string

Required

Determine the number of equal pieces

To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces (36\ and\ 48)

36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

48 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

Common\ prime\ factors = 2, 2\ and\ 3

The HCF is:

HCF = 2 * 2 * 3

HCF = 12

<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>

<em></em>

<em>Recall that </em>

S_1 = 36\ in

<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>

S_2 = 48\ in

<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>
