Help me figure this out?

OpenStudy (briana.img):

This table is confusing and I don't know how I should be looking at it.

OpenStudy (briana.img):

I've be doing 264/629 * 47/629 and other variations but it doesn't seem to work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there any answer choices??

OpenStudy (briana.img):

0.054 0.375 0.264 0.507

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my bad i didn't see tha screen shot

OpenStudy (briana.img):

it's alright lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see a pattern in ther tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

264+47-311 and 63+11=74 and 25+4=29

OpenStudy (briana.img):

@DJthereal what? LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol nvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LynFran where did 111 come from??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok..so u take tha negative total and tha A total and divide them??

OpenStudy (briana.img):

what's going on? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LynFran jus figured it out i think

OpenStudy (briana.img):

it's not one of the answers and i actually wanted to learn how to do it because i had another problem that's similar lol

OpenStudy (briana.img):

@jim_thompson5910 help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i think i get it tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can try to explain it if u need me to

OpenStudy (briana.img):

@jim_thompson5910 help?

OpenStudy (briana.img):

@DJthereal yes please but i don't think she got it right because those aren't one of the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kno but she did give me a big hint

OpenStudy (briana.img):

aaaah okay so can you explain it please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea jus give me like 5 or 6 minutes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many people have a blood type that is A-positive?

OpenStudy (briana.img):

264

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and how many people have Rh-negative blood?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i tried 111/264 and i thought that wood be tha answer

OpenStudy (briana.img):

I don't exactly know what Rh means but 111?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

neither do I, but luckily we don't need to know the biology behind the problem

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so there are 264+111 = 375 people who have either A-positive or Rh-negative blood types

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is out of 740 people total (bottom right corner) We then divide P(A-positive OR Rh-negative) = (# of people who have A-positive or Rh-negative)/(# total) P(A-positive OR Rh-negative) = (375)/(740) P(A-positive OR Rh-negative) = 0.50675675675676 P(A-positive OR Rh-negative) = 0.507

OpenStudy (briana.img):

Aaaaah okay thank you!! Makes much more sense now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm glad it's making more sense

OpenStudy (briana.img):

Helped me understand my other problem as well! Thank you!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 good job i was getting confused

OpenStudy (briana.img):

Could you guys help me with one more problem that I can't wrap my head around?

OpenStudy (briana.img):

I think it's Rolling a 4 or rolling an odd number??? But I don't know it's confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat does mutually exclusive mean??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if two events are `mutually exclusive`, then that means that they CANNOT happen at the same time example: flipping a heads AND a tails on the same coin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's not c because 5 is a prime number

OpenStudy (briana.img):

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's D

OpenStudy (briana.img):

Thanks guys!!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep 4 is even, so it's impossible to roll an even AND odd number at the same time
