<h3>Answer: Approximately 0.8537</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Let's say this population had 1000 people. You can pick any number you want, but I'm going for some nice big round number to work with.

The proportion of smokers is 0.3, which means 0.3*1000 = 300 people in this population are smokers and 1000-300 = 700 are nonsmokers.

Of the 300 people who do smoke, 40% of them lie on the application. This means 0.40*300 = 120 people lied. These 120 people say they don't smoke, but in fact they do smoke.

So if we were to survey this population, then 700+120 = 820 people would say they don't smoke

Only considering the people who write "don't smoke" on the survey, which is that 820 figure, 700 of them are true nonsmokers. Therefore, the probability we want is 700/820 = 0.8537 approximately

GE produces 5 different sizes of TVs using 2 machines. Different sizes of TVs take different amount of time to get processed at
OLga [1]

Answer:

Option # C: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Decision variables, as the name imply are entities that can have different values in the given scenario and which in turn produce different outcomes. For our question, the variables are the sizes of TVs available, as the production time and profit depend on the sizes. Hence, TV sizes (i.e. 5) are our decision variables.

Furthermore, it does not matter on which machine the TVs are being manufactured as they will take identical time for same TV size. Thus we do not consider the number of machines as our decision variables.

Answer:

x = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle has two values that are the same like your 6s that means that they have the same angle, so you take the angle(56 degrees)  and subtract 180 and 56 making 124. You take 124 and divide it by 2. Making x =62.
