A firm offers routine physical examinations as part of a health service program for its employees. The exams showed that 8% of the employees needed eyeglasses, 15% needed major dental work, and 3% needed both eyeglasses and major dental work. What is the probability that an employee selected at random will need either eyeglasses or major dental work

The Probability = 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question stated, the first step to take is to find probability that an employee selected at random will need either eyeglasses or major dental work

Solution

Given

Now,

The exams showed tha the number of employees needed eyeglasses = 8%

Employees that needed major dental work = 15%

Employees that needed  both eyeglasses and major dental work =3%

Thus,

The P(needed eyeglasses ) = 8% = 0.08

P(major dental work) = 15% = 0.15

P(eye glasses  and major dental work) = 3% = 0.03

The probability that an employee selected at random will need either eyeglasses or major dental work is  given as

= P(eye glasses ) + P(major dental work) - P(eyeglasses and major dental work)

= 0.08 + 0.15 - 0.03 = 0.20

Therefore the Probability = 0.20

i dont know if you cant find a way its best to actually add all of them start from 105 tho

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
