Astudy of consumer smoking habits includes 193 people in the 18-22 age bracket (60 of whom smoke), 127 people in the 23-30 age bracket (35 of whom smoke), and 96 people in the 31-40 age bracket (23 of whom smoke). if one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 23-30 or smokes. a. 0.084 b. 0.589 c. 0.505 d. 0.276

Total number of people in the sample = 193 + 127 + 96 = 416

Probability of picking 23-30 year old = 92 /416 = 0.2212 ( not including the people who smoke)

Number of people who smoke = 60+35+23 = 118 people

Prob(someone who smokes) = 118/416 = 0.2837

So required probability = 0.2837 + 0.2212 = 0.505 (answer)

maybe - definition of supplementary angles. im not sure. sorry

step-by-step explanation:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
