The Gable Construction Corporation has placed bids for installing electronic message boards on two different highways. Because of competition from other companies, Gable Construction Corporation officials estimate that the probability that
they will be awarded the Macon Expressway contract is 0.65 and the probability that they will be awarded the Seaview
Expressway contract is 0.43. Furthermore, the probability that they will be awarded both contracts is 0.22. What is the
probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway

0.64 = 64% probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using these events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Event A: Awarded the Macon Expressway.

Event B: Awarded the Seaview Expressway.

Probability that they will be awarded the Macon Expressway contract is 0.65

This means that

The probability that they will be awarded the Seaview Expressway contract is 0.43.

This means that

Furthermore, the probability that they will be awarded both contracts is 0.22.

This means that

What is the

Probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway?

Only A:

Only B:

Either

0.43 + 0.21 = 0.64

0.64 = 64% probability that they will be awarded the contract for either the Macon Expressway or the Seaview Expressway

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
