Probability 0.021 0.377 0.34 0.262
Based on this data, what is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is not underweight?

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

B is on line FW. Find the measure of angle CBW.
aliina [53]

Answer:

67+65+x=180

CBW=48 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you know that a straight line is 180 degrees. I recommend you to actually try on these questions. It will be a slower process if you just post questions on brainly.

A sphere has a volume of approximately 113 cubic units. Which of the following best represents the radius of the sphere?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

H. 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question, we have to apply the formula for the sphere volume. The formula is:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Plugging the given number into V, we calculate that:

113 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}\\84.75 = \pi r^{3}   \\

If π=3.14, the radius is:

r ≈ 3 units.
