Aset contains nine elements.
a) how many subsets does it have?
b) how many proper subsets does it have?
a) the set has _ subsets. (simplify your answer.)

a) The set has 512 subsets.

b) The set has 511 proper subsets.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The set has 512 subsets.

Reason:

Number of all subsets of a set containing n elements is 2^n subsets,

Then the number of all subsets of a set containing 9 elements is:

2^n=2^9

=2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2

=512 subsets.

b) The set has 511 proper subsets.

Reason:

Number of proper subsets of a set containing n elements is 2^n-1 proper subsets,

Then the number of proper subsets of a set containing 9 elements is:

2^n -1 = 2^9 -1

=2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 -1

=512-1

=511 proper subsets

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
