A. 53.8% of students like both reading and TV. Reason: If 90 people like TV and 20 of those people do not like reading, the other 70 must like reading. Since 40 people don't like TV we must have a total of 130 people (90+40). This means that of those 130 people 53.8% like both.

B. 23.1% of students do not like reading or TV. Reason: There are 130 total answers. We know that 70 of those people like both TV and reading (see answer A). Another 20 of those people like TV, but not reading. This leaves 40 people who either like reading but not tv or like neither. Looking at the chart, you can see that 40 people dislike TV, so this make sense. You can also see that 50 people dislike reading. This includes both the people who like TV and dislike reading and the people who dislike TV and reading. Taking out the 20 people who like TV, 30 people dislike both, meaning that the remaining 10 people like reading but not TV. If 30 out of 130 people like neither, the percentage is 23.1%.

Part A: About 53.8% of the students like both reading and watching television. I know this because if you add up all the students surveyed then you get 130 (70 + 20 + 10 + 30 = 130). Then if you divide 70 ÷ 130 you get 0.538. The you multiply by 100, and you get 53.8%.

Part B: The probability would be 75%. I know this because if there is a total of 40 people that do not like watching TV and there are 30 that do not like reading and do not like watching TV either, Then you divide 30 ÷ 40 then you would get 0.75 then you multiply that by 100 to get an answer of 75%.

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
