You can use this formula <span>P(AorB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AandB) 

Given:
35 LG (14 F & 21 M)
44 SB (28 F & 16 M)

Req:
- the probability that it is a female (F) or a sky blue (SB)

Sol:
</span>P(F or SB) = P(F) + P(SB) - P(F and SB) 
                 = [(14 F + 28 F)/(35 + 44)] + [(44 SB)/(35 + 44)] - [(28 F)/(35 + 44)]
                 = 53.16 + 55.70 - 35.44
                 = 73.42%

You have to deduct 28 female parakeets from 44 sky blue parakeets because the 28 parakeets are already accounted for in the female parakeets. You can also think of how many ways you can choose a female parakeet and a sky blue parakeet. Add all female parakeets (14 + 28) = 42. Sky blue parakeet equaled to 44. Minus the 28 female parakeets included in the sky blue parakeet to avoid double counting. 42 + 44 - 28 = 58 divided by 79 (35 + 44) total parakeets = 73.42%

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Associates=7

Partners=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of associates be x while partners be y. Since they are a total of 17 then

x+y=17

Therefore, x=17-y

Also considering the charges then

800x+1800y=23600

Subsituting x with 17-y then

800(17-y)+1800y=23600

13600-800y+1800y=23600

1000y=10000

Y=10

X=17-y=17-10=7

kaheart [24]

Answer: C the price of a water bottle

Step-by-step explanation: The problem states that the energy bar is $2 so it can’t be D. The math problem also states how many players they have so it’s not B. The math problem says how much they paid which is $77 so it’s not A. However the problem doesn’t state how much the price of a water bottle is so therefore it is C.

What is the value of x if g^x-1-2= 25?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Third option: x=\frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The correct exercise is attached.</h3>

The equation given is:

9^{x-1}-2=25

 The steps to find the value of "x" are shown below:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

9^{x-1}-2+2=25+2\\\\9^{x-1}=27

2. Descompose 9 and 27 into their prime factors:

9=3*3=3^2\\27=3*3*3=3^3

3. Substitute them into the equation:

3^{2(x-1)}=3^3

4. Knowing that If a^n=b^m, then n=m, we get:

2(x-1)=3

5. Apply Distributive property:

2x-2=3

6. Add 2 to both sides:

2x-2+2=3+2\\\\2x=5

7. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\x=\frac{5}{2}
