forty-five percent of the students in a dorm are business majors and fifty-five percent are non-business majors. business majors are twice as likely to do their studying at the library as non-business majors are. half of the business majors study at the library. if a randomly slected student from the dorm studies at the library, what is the probability the student is a business major

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Defining the following events as :

B : Being a Business major

α : Studying at the library

∴ Given that :

[tex]$P(B) = \frac{45}{100}$[/tex]

         = 0.45

Again, P [ Studying at the library | Being a Business major ] = 2 P [ Studying at the library | Being a non business major ]

[tex]$P[ \alpha | B] = 2 P[\alpha | B^C]$[/tex]   .......(1)

Again,

[tex]$P[\text{Studying at the library } | \text{ Being a business major}] = \frac{1}{2} = 0.50$[/tex]

[tex]$P(\alpha | B) = 0.50$[/tex]

From (1), we get

[tex]$P(\alpha | B^C) = \frac{1}{2} . P(\alpha | B)$[/tex]

              [tex]$=\frac{1}{2} \times 0.50$[/tex]

              = 0.25

Therefore, we need,

= P[  The students is a Business major | The student studies at the library ]

[tex]$=P(B | \alpha)$[/tex]

By Bayes theorem

[tex]$=\frac{P(B). P(\alpha | B)}{P(B).P(\alpha | B) + P(B^C). P(\alpha | B^C)}$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{0.45 \times 0.50}{0.45 \times 0.50 + 0.55 \times 0.25}$[/tex]

= 0.6207

Answer:

  it is shifted 5 units upward

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-coordinate is a measure of the distance above the x-axis. When 5 is added to a y-coordinate, the point is shifted 5 units upward.

The function y = |x| +5 adds 5 units to the y-value of every point of the graph of y = |x|. The graph of y=|x|+5 is shifted 5 units upward from the parent graph.

Answers

Answer:  240

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

Explanation:

Let y be the length of the vertical dashed red line in the drawing. More specifically, this dashed line is an altitude.

Along the top, the entire segment is 400 units long. The right piece is 144 units long, so the left piece is 400-144 = 256 units long.

The triangles are similar, allowing us to set up a proportion like so:

144/y = y/256

144*256 = y*y

36864 = y^2

y^2 = 36864

y = sqrt(36864)

y = 192

So this is the length of that vertical dashed red line.

--------------------------------

Now shift your attention solely on the smaller triangle on the right side. It is a right triangle with legs 144 and 192. The hypotenuse is x.

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find x.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )

x = sqrt( 144^2 + 192^2 )

x = 240

240.

c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )

x = sqrt( 144^2 + 192^2 )

x = 240

What is Pythagorean Theorem?

Pythagorean theorem, the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)—or, in familiar algebraic notation, a2 + b2 = c2.

I think this might be the correct answer

The number of pupils that like neither tasty-time nor ice cream is 6 if in a class of 70 pupils, 36 like tasty time, 34 like ice cream, 6 like both tasty times.

What is the Venn diagram?

It is defined as the diagram that shows a logical relation between sets.

The Venn diagram consists of circles to show the logical relation.

We have:

In a class of 70 pupils, 36 like tasty time, 34 like ice cream, 6 like both tasty time.

Total = 70 pupils

Number of like tasty time = 36

Number of like ice cream = 34

Number of like both = 6

Let x be the total number of pupils that like neither tasty-time nor ice cream

The number of pupils that like ice cream only =  34 - 6 = 28

The number of pupils that like tasty-time only = 36 - 6 = 30

From the Venn diagram:

28 + 30 + 6 + x = 70

x = 70 - 64

x = 6

Thus, the number of pupils that like neither tasty-time nor ice cream is 6 if in a class of 70 pupils, 36 like tasty time, 34 like ice cream, 6 like both tasty times.

was collected on Saturday?

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

since 7 tonnes can be shredded per day you need o divide the amount you have by 7

so 7/4 /7 = 1/4

so it will  take 1/4 days

Answer:

[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

1.) Three numbers form a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 0.5. If the first is reduced to 10 more than one quarter its value, the second decreased by 10, and the third increased by 10 more than twice its value, the resulting three numbers form an arithmetic sequence. Determine the original three numbers.

Answers

Let x be the first number in the sequence, so the first three numbers are

{x, 0.5x, 0.5²x}

Then

{x/4 + 10, 0.5x - 10, 2(0.5²x) + 10}

is arithmetic, so there is some constant c such that

0.5x - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c   ==>   x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c

2(0.5²x) + 10 = 0.5x - 10 + c   ==>   x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

Solve the second equation for c :

x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

c = 20

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for x :

x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + 20

x/4 = 40

x = 160

Then the terms are

{160, 80, 40}

4) If the perimeter of a square is 48cm",

If the total perimeter of square is 48 cm, then the length of one side is equal to 48 divided by 4, since all sides of a square are the same.

So, the correct answer is 12.

The length of each side is 12cm.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by the formula:

P = 4a , where  P = perimeter, and a = length of any side, all sides being equal in a square.

From the given data we write:

48 = 4a

Divide both sides by

Answer:

Heyy mate... here's ur ans ;)

they asked us to apply pythagarus theorem becoz that theorem proves

that it is rectangle so lets get started

( p - perpendicular / b - base / h - hypotenuse )

a) =>

B = 8.1 m

P = 6.3 m

H = 10.15m

Now applying thm => H^2=p^2+b^2

(8.1)^2 + (6.3)^2 = (10.15)^2

65.61 + 39.69 = 103.02

so now LHS = 105.3 and RHS = 103.02 hence

LHS not equal to RHS

so is not rectangle

b) =>

B = 14.4

P = 5.2

H = 15.31

Now applying thm => H^2=p^2+b^2

(5.2)^2 + (14.4)^2 = (15.31)^2

27.04 + 207.36 = 234.39

LHS = 234.4 and RHS = 234.39

just taking approximation rhs is 234.4

hence

LHS = RHS

so it is a rectangle

Answers

Answers:

a = 2

b = 3

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

Explanation:

Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that

y = a*b^x

2 = a*b^0

2 = a*1

2 = a

a = 2

Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b

y = a*b^x

y = 2*b^x

54 = 2*b^3

2b^3 = 54

b^3 = 54/2

b^3 = 27

b = (27)^(1/3)

b = 3

So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x

Step-by-step explanation:

S = 34.55 represents the standard deviation of the residuals which is the correct answer that would be option (B).

What is the standard deviation?

A standard deviation (σ) is a measure of the distribution of the data in reference to the mean.

Students' proficiency in math and English is assessed by a particular standardized test. Ten students were chosen at random, and their math and English test results were recorded and examined.

The computer output displays the outcomes.

Predictor    Coef     SE Coef     t-ratio        p

Constant   -124.13     78.712      0.046

Math           1.223      0.1966      6.220  0.000

S = 34.55     R-Sq = 82.8%      R-Sq (Adj) = 83.5%

In the above ANOVA table, S = 34.55 represents the residual standard deviation.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B = 34.55.

Option A = 1.223 represents the coefficient of the math score.

Option C = 78.712 represents the Standard Error (S.E).

Option D = 124.13 is the coefficient value.

Hence, the correct answer would be an option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relationships between an angle in a right triangle and the basic trig functions. The triples of letters stand for ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

where the terms "opposite" and "adjacent" refer to sides of the triangle that are opposite the angle of interest or adjacent to it, respectively.

In these problems, the measure of the hypotenuse is shown, and the problem requests the measure of the side opposite the given angle. The sine function is relevant.
