Among 21- to 25-year-olds, 29% say they have driven while under the influence of alcohol. Suppose that three 21- to 25-year-olds

are selected at random.
a. What is the probability that at least 1 has driven while under the influence of alcohol?

Answer:

0.6421

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have 3 trials and we have 2 options for each one. The driver has or hasn't been under alcohol influence. The probability that the driver has is 0.29 and the probabiility that the driver hasn't is 1 - 0.29 = 0.71

each trial is independent because we are assuming that the population of drivers in between 21 and 25 years old is very big.

The probability that one of them was under alcohol influence can be found by finding the probability that non of them was under alcohol influence because:

1 = p(x = 0) + p(x ≥ 1)

p(x ≥ 1) = 1 - p(0)

The probability that none of them was under alcohol influence is going to be:

0.71×0.71×0.71 = 0.3579

The probability of finding at least one driver that has been under alcohol influence is:

0.6421

Instructions:Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The sides of ∆ABC are 30 units, 40 units, and 60 units long. Th
andriy [413]

Answer:

The sides of ∆ABC are 30 units, 40 units, and 60 units long.

The perimeter will be = 30+40+60=130 units

Given is that ∆ABC and ∆XYZ are similar and the corresponding sides of ∆XYZ are 'r' times as long as the sides of ∆ABC.

So, perimeter of ∆XYZ will be : 130\times r=130r units.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The area of ∆ABC is n square units, so area of ∆XYZ will be :

\frac{1}{2}(r\times height)(r\times base)

= n\times r\times r

= nr^{2} square units.

Jessica is selling books during the summer to earn money for college. She earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Her expenses are $25 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Jessica earns a commission on each sale but has to pay for her own expenses.

She writes the equation of the function like this: E(x) = 7x - 25, where x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week and E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.

To Find: Which of the following are reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function?

Solution:

E(x) = 7x - 25

x is the number of doors she knocks on during the week

E(x) is her earnings for the week in dollars.

Calculate y intercept

Substitute x = 0

y= - 25

Since E(x) is her total earning after clearing the payment of all her expenses.

So, 25 is her expenses per week.

Since we are given that she need to pay her expenses .

So, if there is no sale , still she need to pay expenses.

Thus the reasonable interpretations of the y-intercept of Jessica's function is Her expenses are $25 per week.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 3 units. The area of the rectangle is 54 units. What is the width, in units, of a r
saul85 [17]

Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units
