Answer:
(E) None of these above are true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Married = 74% or 0.74
College graduates = 42% or 0.42
pr(married | college graduates) = 0.56
(A) These events are pairwise disjoint. This is false. Pairwise disjoint are also known as mutually exclusive events. Here we can see that both events are occurring at same time.
(B) These events are independent events. This is also false.
(C) These events are both independent and pairwise disjoint. False
(D) A worker is either married or a college graduate always. False
Here Probability(A or B) shall be 1
= Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr( A and B) = 0.74 + 0.42 - 0.56 * 0.42 = 0.9248
This is not equal to 1.
(E) None of these above are true. This is true.
So we are given a system:

Substitute x = 2 we get the system:

Multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2 we get the system:

Adding the two equations we get :

We find the value of y by using any of the other equations like this:

Final solution:
Alright, so he has an <em>annual </em>salary of 47,000 dollars. Which means that he is paid 47,000 dollars in 12 months. You'll first have to calculate the pay Vijay receives <em>each month</em>, which is

, or about $3,916.67 (I'll round up to 3917 for simplicity).
Now, he gets paid twice a month. So each paycheck is half of $3917. 3917 x (1/2) = $1958.50.
So each paycheck should be $1958.50 (this is a rounded figure).
