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.
Absolute value- the amount a number is away from zero. With this information, we can conclude,
|-12| = 12
|-15| = 15
The average rate of change (m) is the ratio of the change in function value to the width of the interval:
m = (f(6) - f(2))/(6 - 2)
To compute this, we need to compute f(6) and f(2).
f(6) = (0.25*6 -0.5)*6 +3.5 = 9.5
f(2) = (0.25*2 - 0.5)*2 +3.5 = 3.5
Then the average rate of change is
m = (9.5 - 3.5)/(6 - 2) = 6/4 = 1.5
The average rate of change is 1.5 thousand owners per year.
