Answer:

59 accidents were investigated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is a probability question that involves 2 elements: causes of accidents.

Let

A = Alcohol

E = Excessive speed

In the question, we are given the following information:

18 accidents involved Alcohol and Excessive speed =P(A ∩ E)

26 involved Alcohol = P(A)

12 accidents involved excessive speed but not alcohol = P( E ) Only

21 accidents involved neither alcohol nor excessive speed = neither A U B

We were given P(A) in the question. P(A Only) = P(A) - P(A ∩ E)

P(A Only) = 26 - 18

= 8

So, only 8 accident involved Alcohol but not excessive speed.

The Total number of Accidents investigated = P(A Only) + P( E only) + P(A ∩ E) + P( neither A U B)

= 8 + 12 + 18 + 21

= 59

Therefore, 59 accidents were investigated.

the final price of the wind chime is $29.925 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , A home improvement store sold wind chimes for $30 each. A customer signed up for a free membership card and received a 5% discount off the price. Sales tax of 5% was applied after the discount. We need to find What was the final price of the wind chime . Let's find out:

Initially we have , 5% discount in $30 i.e.

⇒ (30(5))/100

⇒ (150)/100

⇒ $1.5 , So now price becomes $30 - $1.5 = $28.5 . At this amount there's 5% tax i.e.

⇒ (28.5(5))/100

⇒ (142.5)/100

⇒ $1.425

So now price becomes $28.5 + $1.425 = $29.925 . Therefore , the final price of the wind chime is $29.925 .
