Forty percent of the students who enroll in a statistics course go to the statistics laboratory on a regular basis. Past data indicates that 55% of those students who use the lab on a regular basis make a grade of A in the course. On the other hand, only 15% of students who do not go to the lab on a regular basis make a grade of A. If a particular student made an A, determine the probability that she or he used the lab on a regular basis. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.71 = 71% probability that she or he used the lab on a regular basis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Student got an A

Event B: Used the lab on a regular basis.

Probability of an student getting an A:

55% of 40%(go to the lab on a regular basis).

15% of 100 - 40 = 60%(do not go to the lab on a regular basis).

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.55*0.4 + 0.15*0.6 = 0.31[/tex]

Probability of getting an A and using the lab on a regular basis:

55% of 40%, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.55*0.4 = 0.22[/tex]

Probability that she or he used the lab on a regular basis.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.22}{0.31} = 0.71[/tex]

0.71 = 71% probability that she or he used the lab on a regular basis.

(i) [tex]5x-3[/tex]

(ii) [tex]11-2y^2[/tex]

(iii) [tex]2x-1[/tex]

To find:

The terms which are not constants and their numerical coefficients.

Solution:

Constants: The terms which are free from variables.

Numerical coefficient: Number multiplied with a variable.

(i) [tex]5x-3[/tex]

Constant = -3

Term which is not constant = 5x

Numerical coefficient = 5

(ii) [tex]11-2y^2[/tex]

Constant = 11

Term which is not constant = [tex]-2y^2[/tex]

Numerical coefficient = -2

(iii) [tex]2x-1[/tex]

Constant = -1

Term which is not constant = 2x

Numerical coefficient = 2

Therefore, the terms which are not constants are  [tex]5x,-2y^2,2x[/tex]  respectively and their numerical coefficients are 5, -2, 2 respectively.

A student who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, A and B. If topic A is chosen, the student will order two books through interlibrary loan, whereas if topic B is chosen, the student will order four books. The student believes that a good paper necessitates receiving and using at least half the books ordered for either topic chosen. If the probability that a book ordered through interlibrary loan actually arrives in time is .9 and books arrive independently of one another, which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper? What if the arrival probability is only .5 instead of .9?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{For topic A }:0.99\\\text{For Topic B}: 0.6875[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic A: Two books are ordered

Topic B: Four books are ordered

Let X= number of books arrived

The probability that a book actually arrives in time is 0.9

i.e., p=0.9

For Topic A:

[tex]P(X\geq 1)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)= \;^2C_1 (0.9)^1(0.1)^(2-1)+\;^2C_2 (0.9)^2(0.1)^(2-2)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)=0.18+0.81\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 1)=0.99[/tex]

For Topic B:

[tex]P(X\geq 2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[\;^4C_0(0.5)^0(0.5)^4 +\;^4C_0(0.5)^1(0.5)^3]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[0.0625+0.25]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=0.6875[/tex]

Please hurry; Which function increases the fastest? A. y 5 14x B. y 5 23 · 17x C. y 5 120x D. y 5 2275x^x

a y = 14^x
b y = -3 (17)^x
c y = 120x
d y = -275x

Answers

Answer: y = 14^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the options are:

a y = 14^x

b y = -3*(17)^x

c y = 120x

d y = -275x

to see which function increases the fastest (or which function is steeper) we need to look at the first derivations of each one of these, and see which one is larger for every value of x:

the derivations are:

a y = x*14^(x - 1)

b y = -x*3*(17)^(x  - 1)

c y = 120

d y = -275

So we can already discard options c and d, because have constant rate of change.

Then we keep options a and b.

Always when we have an exponential function, like a^x and b^x

The one with the larger base will be steeper.

So if a > b, then:

a^x is steeper than b^x

In this case, the function:

y = -3*(17)^x

has a larger base, but, this function is negative.

This means that as x increases, our function will decrease, then this function will not "increase the fastest" (because it does not increase)

Then the left option (a: y = 14^x)

Will be the correct one.

(this will happen after some value of x, because two of the options have constant derivatives, these may be steeper for smaller values of x, and as x increases, we will see that y = 14^x is the one that increases the fastest)

1-Un balón de fútbol tiene un precio de $125 + IVA

1. ¿Cuánto es el IVA del balón?

A) 125 b) 200 c) 245

Answers

Answer:

b) 200

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b) 200

1) El IVA del balón es de $ 20.

2) El precio final del balón es $ 145.

1) El Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) es un impuesto indirecto que se aplica sobre el precio de compra del artículo comprado, es decir, se trata de un impuesto indirecto al consumo.

El porcentaje por concepto del impuesto varía de país en país. No obstante, el valor más común en países hispanoparlantes se ubica en torno al 16 % del precio de compra del artículo.

El IVA del balón se determina mediante la siguiente operación aritmética:

[tex]\Delta C = 0.16\cdot (125)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta C = 20[/tex]

El IVA del balón es de $ 20.

2) El precio final del producto es la suma del precio de compra y el IVA, es decir:

[tex]C = 125 + 20[/tex]

[tex]C = 145[/tex]

El precio final del balón es $ 145.
