Answer:

<em>The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is not underweight is 0.979</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability Distribution</u>

Four events were measured and their probabilities computed as follow

\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}Underweight&Healthy&Overweight&Obese\\0.021&0.377&0.34&0.262\end{array}\right|

Please note the sum of the probabilities is 1, thus the distribution is correctly expressed. We want to compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is not underweight.

Knowing the adult doesn't belong to the underweight category, then they must belong to any of the other categories, thus the probability is the sum of their individual probabilities or (easily computed), the total probability minus the underweight probability:

P(NOT\ underweight)=1-P(underweight)

P(NOT\ underweight)=1-0.021=0.979

The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is not underweight is 0.979

Grant is trying to make money to help pay for college by taking a job with Brian’s bike taxis if Baltimore. He has an agreement
alexandr402 [8]

Grant needs to ride at least 13.33 miles to male at least $ 15.00 a day

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Grant has an agreement with Brian to rent the bike for $35.00 a night

He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them

Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day

To find: miles needed to ride

From given question, He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them

So if he transports for "x" miles he would get,

\$ 3.75 \times x = \$ 3.75x

So the profit he gets is $ 3.75 and initial cost invested to rent bike is $ 35. Also, Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day

So we can frame a inequality as:

3.75x - 35 \geq 15\\\\3.75x\geq 35 + 15\\\\3.75x\geq 50\\\\x \geq 13.33

So he needs to ride atleast 13.33 miles to male atleast $ 15.00 a day

Is 7/8 smaller than 3/4
Kay [80]
As decimals lets look at them:)
7/8 = 0.875
3/4 = 0.75

In this case 7/8 is actually bigger.
