Intersection and conditional probability problem. Can anyone help solve this problem?
Answers
Part (a)
Refer to figure 1 in the attached image below. The a,b,c,d,e are placeholders for numbers we'll fill in later (that turns into the table for figure 2). Hopefully you agree about the placement of the numbers. If there's any confusion, then please let me know.
Along the bottom row, we can see that 39+e = 65 which solves to e = 26 after you subtract 39 from both sides. This tells us that there are 26 non-physics majors (ie their major is anything but physics).
Then along the "non-physics" column, notice how b+6 = e, which is the same as b+6 = 26 after replacing 'e' with 26. Solving that equation leads to b = 20. So we have 20 people who are seniors and non-physics majors.
Now move to the top row. We can see that a+b = 30, which is the same as a+20 = 30 because we plug in b = 20. That solves to a = 10. So we have 10 seniors who are physics majors.
----------------
Now along the first column, we have a+c = 39, aka 10+c = 39, which solves to c = 29. There are 29 non-seniors who are physics majors.
The last variable to find is variable d.
Along the second row, we can say,
c+6 = d
29+6 = d
d = 35
Or we could say that 30+d = 65 along the last column which also solves to d = 35. This tells us we have 35 non-seniors in the class.
----------------
To summarize so far, we have
a = 10, b = 20, c = 29, d = 35, e = 26
These values will replace the letters as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2 will be used to answer both parts (a) and (b).
----------------
After that (more than) slight detour of filling in the table, we can finally tackle the question at hand. We're asked to find the probability of selecting someone who is a senior and a physics major. We have a = 10 people who fit the description out of 65 total
Divide the two values and reduce the fraction as much as possible
10/65 = (2*5)/(13*5) = 2/13
Answer: 2/13==========================================================
Part (b)
There's a lot going on with part (a). Luckily there aren't many steps here because pretty much all the work has been done already. We'll refer to figure 2 below.
We're told "given the student is a physics major", which means we focus solely on the "physics major" column only. We ignore everyone else because we know 100% that whoever we selected majored in physics.
We have a = 10 seniors who are also physics majors out of 39 physics majors total.
That constructs the fraction 10/39
Answer: 10/39

Consider rolling two fair dice and observing the number of spots on the resulting upward face of each one. Letting A be the event that at least one of the dice results in 6 spots on its upward face, and E be the event that exactly one of the dice results in 6 spots on its upward face, give the value of P(E|A). (Note: This value can be easily obtained by looking at p. 2.3 of the class notes and using a reduced sample space. In fact, such an approach makes the solution so trivial, that for this problem, you don’t have to give any justification for your answer.)

Answers
Solution :
a). P(X = x)

P(x ≤ 3) = 0.837
b). Expectation = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p}$[/tex]

Variance = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p^2}$[/tex]
= 4.7663726
Standard deviation = 2.1832
Therefore, mean + standard deviation
= 1.7397 + 2.1832

Verify that a÷(b+c)=(a÷b)+(a ÷c), a=10 , b=5 , 6=2
Answers
Answer:
a÷(b+c)≠(a÷b)+(a ÷c)
Step-by-step explanation:
To verify that a÷(b+c)=(a÷b)+(a ÷c)
Using the values ;
a=10 , b=5 , 6=2
plugging the values into a÷(b+c) should give the same result as (a÷b)+(a ÷c) ;
That is, right hand side = left hand side
a÷(b+c) = 10 ÷ (5+ 2)
a÷(b+c) = 10 / 7
Also;
(a÷b)+(a ÷c) = (10/5) + (10/2) = 2 + 5 = 7

Graph the Image of square KLMN after a translation 3 units left .
Answers
Answer:
N' (-8,9) K' (-8,3) L' (-2,3) M' (-2,9)
Step-by-step explanation:
To translate the square 3 units to the left you would subtract 3 from the x-coordinates of the points shown.
The coordinates of the translated square KLMN is given by K' (-8,3) L' (-2,3) M' (-2,9) N' (-8,9)
What is Translation?A translation moves a shape up, down, or from side to side, but it has no effect on its appearance. A transformation is an example of translation. A transformation is a method of changing a shape's size or position. Every point in the shape is translated in the same direction by the same amount.
Given data ,
Let the square be represented as KLMN
Now , the coordinates of the square KLMN is
K ( -5 , 3 ) L ( 1 , 3 ) M' ( 1 , 9 ) N' ( -5 , 9 )
Now , let the translated square be represented as K'L'M'N'
When translating the square to three units to the left , the x coordinate of the square gets reduced by 3
So , the new coordinate of the square will be ( x - 3 , y )
Substituting the values in the equation , we get
K' = K ( -5 - 3 , 3 )
L' = L ( 1 - 3 , 3 )
M' = M ( 1 - 3 , 9 )
N' = N ( -5 - 3 , 9 )
So , on simplifying the equation , we get
The translated square is K' (-8,3) L' (-2,3) M' (-2,9) N' (-8,9)
Hence , the translated square is K' ( -8,3 ) L' ( -2,3 ) M' ( -2,9 ) N' ( -8,9 )

Step-by-step explanation:
Let father's age be x
let son's age be y
x + y = 60 - (eq 1)
Six years ago,
(x - 6) = 5(y - 6) -(eq 2)
From (1)
x = 60-y
Therefore, 60-y - 6= 5y - 30
y = 14

Median of the given data is 8.5.
What is median?In statistics, the median is the middle value of the given list of data in order. Data or observations can be sorted in ascending or descending order.
Given data,
1 , 5, 12, 1, 121, 1, 121, 13
Arranging in ascending order
1, 1, 1, 5, 12, 13, 121, 121
Number of elements N = 8
When number of elements is odd
Median = (N/2 th term + (N/2)+1 th term)/2
Median = (8/2 th term + (8/2)+1 th term)/2
Median = (4th term + 5th term)/2
Median = (5+12)/2
Median = 17/2
Median = 8.5
Hence, 8.5 is the median of the given data.

Find the following list of data calculate a demean be the maid and see mode or mothers for the following numbers listed in the picture above above
Answers
Answer:
Mean = 4.8875
Median = 4.6
Mode = 4.5 and 7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is the sum of total of data divided by the sample size
Sum total = 1.5 + 4.7 + 6 + 7.7 + 7.7 + 4.5 + 2.5 + 4.5
Sum total = 39.1
Sample size = 8
Mean = 39.1/8
Mean = 4.8875
To get the median we need to first rearrange
1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.7, 6, 7.7, 7.7
Median = 4.5 + 4.7/2
Median = 4.6
Hence the median is 4.6
Mode is the value occuring the most. Since 4.5 and 7.7 both occurs twice, hence the mode of the data is 4.5 and 7.7

y=mx + b is the standard slope intercept form for a line
m=1/2, b =-2
y=(1/2)x -2. y-intercept is -2 or the point (0,-2)
x intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x
0=(1/2)x - 2
(1/2)x = 2
x = 4 = the x intercept or (4,0)
plot the 2 intercepts (0,-2) and (4,0)
(4,0) is on the x axis, 4 units to the right of the origin (0,0)
(0,-2) is on the y axis, 2 units below the origin
once you plot those two points, draw a straight line connecting them. That's the graph of the line

The translation of the parent function is f ( x ) = | x + 6 | which is shifted 6 units to the left
How does the transformation of a function happen?The transformation of a function may involve any change.
Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs), etc.
If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:
Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):
Left shift by c units: y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)
Right shift by c units: y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)
Vertical shift:
Up by d units: y = f(x) + d
Down by d units: y = f(x) - d
Stretching:
Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = k × f(x)
Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y = f(x/k)
Given data ,
Let the transformation of the function be a translation , where
The parent function is f ( x ) = | x |
And , the translated function is f ( x ) = | x + 6 |
So , original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:
Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):
Left shift by c units: y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)
And , the function is translated 6 units to the left
Hence , the translated function is f ( x ) = | x + 6 |

H0 : no significant preference among the 3 designs
H1 : The preference among the designs are different
To test, we use the Chisquare test for independence ;
χ² = (observed - Expected)² / Expected
The sample size, n = 120
Expected = 120 / number of designs = 120 / 3 = 40
(54-40)^2/ 40 + (38 - 40)² / 40 + (28 - 40)² / 40

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (2, -1)
Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-2, 4)
To find the equation of line in slope intercept form;
First of all, we would determine the slope of the line.
Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;
[tex] Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 - (-2)}{-1 -2} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 + 2}{-1 -2} [/tex]
[tex] Slope, m = \frac {6}{-3} [/tex]
Slope, m = -2
Next, we would use the following formula to find the equation of the line;
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substituting into the formula, we have;
y - (-2) = -2(x - 2)
y + 2 = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 4 - 2
y = -2x + 2 = mx + c
