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?

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

It takes Natalie five hours to tar a roof. Imani can tar the same roof in ten hours. How long would it take them if they worked
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

C. 3.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the algebra work equation:

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{1}{t1} + \frac{1}{t2}, where tb is the time to work together, t1 is the time it takes one person, and t2 is the time it takes the other person

Plug in the values we know:

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10}

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{4}{20} + \frac{2}{20}

\frac{1}{tb} = \frac{6}{20}

20 = 6tb

3.33 = tb

So, it would take them 3.33 hours when working together.

NEED HELP A triangle is cut from a rectangle. The height of the triangle is half of the unknown side length s. The area of the s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: 14s - 7s/2 = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that s is the length of the unknown side:

Area of the shaded region = 84

Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = 84

Area of rectangle = L * W

= 14 * s

= 14s

Area of triangle = ¹/₂ * base * height

= ¹/₂ * 14 * s/2

= 7s/2

Area of shaded region:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

Solving for s:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

28s - 7s = 168

21s = 168

s = 168/21

s = 8 inches
