For consumers making purchases online, 60% have devices made by Apple, 85% own a smartphone, and 75% use Venmo. Also, out of the smartphone users, 80% use Venmo. Assume that having a device made by Apple and owning a smartphone are independent. A consumer who makes purchases online is selected at random, what is the probability they have an Apple device or own a smartphone (or both)? Enter your answer as a decimal to two places, and include the leading zero. For example, 0.12 would be a valid format.

The probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone or both is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple = 60%

The percentage of customers that own a smartphone = 85%

The percentage of customers that use Venmo = 80%

The percentage out of the smartphone users that use Venmo = 80%

The probability both independent events A and B occurring = P(A) × P(B)

The exclusive probability of A or B occurring P(A XOR B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B)

Therefore, the probability of A or B or both occurring is given as follows;

P(A or B or Both) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B) + P(A) × P(B)

Where A represent the percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple and let B represent the percentage of users that have a smartphone, we have;

P(A or B or Both) = 0.6 + 0.85 - 2×0.6×0.85 + 0.6 × 0.85 = 0.94

Therefore, the probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone (or both), P(A or B or Both) = 0.94

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
