The following probabilities are based on data collected from U.S. adults. Individuals are placed into a weight category based on

weight, height, gender and age.
underweight healthy weight overweight (not obese) obese
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?

Your answer should be given to 3 decimal places, and please show work~

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

Find the area of the figure. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
baherus [9]

Hello!


First of all, let's find the triangle. As we can see, it is eight units long and four units tall. We can use the triangle formula and half the product.


4(8)=32

32/2=16


Now we need to find the area of the semicircle. We can use circle formulas and half our final answer. We will find the area using A=\pir².


We know that the diameter of this circle is eight. Therefore our radius is 4.


A=4\pi²

A=16\pi


Now we multiply.


16\pi≈50.27


Now we add our triangle.


50.27+16=66.27


The nearest answer to this is B)66.2. It may have been a bit over as we used \pi, not 3.14.


I hope this helps!

Answer:

Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be j and d.

j = d + 5

j + d = 27

Substitute d + 5 for j in the second equation.

d + 5 + d = 27

2d + 5 = 27

2d = 22

d = 11

Substitute 11 for d in the first equation.

j = d + 5

j = 11 + 5

j = 16

Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.

Rita started the day with r apps then she deleted 5 apps and still had twice as many apps as Cora has .write and an equation tha
Elodia [21]

Answer:

r - 5 = 2c

r = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation for the problem, we first need do declare the value of the number of apps cora has.

Let c = Cora's apps

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 is used to indicate that Rita deleted 5 apps.

2c is used to represent the twice the number of apps Cora has.

Now you said that Cora had 35 apps.

Let's plug that into the equation.

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 = 2(35)

r - 5 = 70

Now we transpose the -5 to the other side to leave r.

r = 70 + 5

r = 75

So if Cora has 35 apps, then Rita will have 75 apps.
