ed, given that they are college graduates. Which of the following statements are true about the events married and college graduate?

(B) These events are independent events.
(C) These events are both independent and pairwise disjoint.
(D) A worker is either married or a college graduate always.
(E) None of these above are true.

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.

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions. True or False

Savatey [412]

Answer:

The statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions.

We need to determine the above statement is true or false.

The above statement is false, it could be inconsistent, and therefore have no solutions,

For example:

$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4 +x_5+x_6+x_7=0\\x_1+x_2+x_3 =1\\x_4 +x_5 =1\\x_6+ x_7=1$

Hence, there is no solution.

The dimensions of a rectangular bin are consecutive integers. If the volume of the bin is 4896 cubic inches, what are the dimens

Rom4ik [11]

cubed root of 4896 = 16.98

round to 17

17-1 = 16

17 +1 = 18

16* 17 *18 = 4896

bin is 16 in x 17 in x 18 in

Which graph represents the function of f(x) = the quantity of 9 x squared plus 9 x minus 18, all over 3 x plus 6

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The answer is the option C

graph of $3x$ minus $3$ , with discontinuity at negative $2$ , negative $9$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=\frac{9x^{2}+9x-18}{3x+6}$

Simplify

$f(x)=9\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{3(x+2)}$

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}$

Step 1

Convert to a factored form the numerator

$x^{2}+x-2=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+x=2$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2+0.25$

$x^{2}+x+0.25=2.25$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+0.5)^{2}=2.25$

Square root both sides

$x+0.5=(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5(+/-)1.5$

$x=-0.5+1.5=1$

$x=-0.5-1.5=-2$

so

$x^{2}+x-2=(x-1)(x+2)$

Step 2

Simplify the function f(x)

$f(x)=3\frac{(x^{2}+x-2)}{(x+2)}=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}$

The domain of the function f(x) is all real numbers except the number $x=-2$

Because the denominator can not be zero

$f(x)=3\frac{(x-1)(x+2)}{(x+2)}=3(x-1)=3x-3$

$f(x)=3x-3$ ------> with a discontinuity at $x=-2$

$f(-2)=3(-2)-3=-9$

The discontinuity is at point $(-2,-9)$

A study found that a driver’s reaction time A(x) to audio stimuli and his or her reaction time V(x) to visual stimuli (both in m

amid [387]

Answer:

The required inequality is $0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequalities are

$A(x) = 0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15$

$V(x)= 0.005x^2 - 0.23x + 22$

where, x is the driver's age (in years), A(x) is driver’s reaction time to audio stimuli and V(x) is his or her reaction time to visual stimuli, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70.

We need to find an inequality that can be use to find the x-values for which A(x) is less than V(x).

$A(x)$

$0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15< 0.005x^2 - 0.23x + 22$

$0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15- 0.005x^2 + 0.23x- 22$

Combine like terms.

$0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7$

where, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70.

Therefore, the required inequality is $0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7$ .

A formula for 6 gallon of light green paint use 3/8 gallons of white paint. Liam has 9/16 gallon of white paint. Does liam have

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Yes he have enough white paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

6 gallons of light green paint use → $\frac{3}{8}$ gallons of white paint

using the unitary method

1 gallons of white paint → 6*8/3 gallons of light green paint

→ 16 gallons of light green paint

but Liam have 9/16 gallons of white paint

9/16 gallons of white paint → 16* 9/16 gallons of light green paint

→ 9 gallons of light green paint

Yes Liam have enough white paint to make 8 gallons of light green paint.
