Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First Expand :

6(x - 3)

= 6x - 18

Now you need to Simplify:

6x - 18 = -42

And now get the 6x by itself by doing this :

6x - 18 = -42

+18 +18

= > 6x = -24

And 6 x 4 = 24

But 6 x -4 = -24

So :

6x/6 and -24/6

= >> x = -4

In a class of 28 students, 11 have a brother and 9 have a sister. There are 2 students

Westkost [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle P(A\mid B)=\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

Is a measure of the probability of the occurrence of an event, given that another event has already occurred. If event B has occurred, then the probability that event A occurs is given by:

$P(A\mid B)={\frac {P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}}$

Where $P(A\cap B)$ is the probability that both events occur and P(B) is the probability that B occurs.

Let's define events A and B for the question. There are 11 students that have a brother and 9 that have a sister. Two of those students have a brother and a sister.

We are given the fact that the selected student has a brother: this is the event that has already occurred, thus:

B = A student has a brother

A = A student has a sister

The probability that a student has a brother is:

$\displaystyle P(B)=\frac{11}{28}$
