A competition to catch the most rainbow trout on Lake Rainbow pitched the men against the ladies. 16 men and 12 women participat

ed. Each participant had a total of 15 attempts before they retired from the competition. It was predicted that the men would have a 9% chance of catching a rainbow trout at each attempt. One participant's experience resulted in 3 successful catches. The probability that this participant was a woman is 40%. Find the probability that a participant successfully catches 3 rainbow trout, given that the participant was a woman.

The probability that a participant successfully catches 3 rainbow trout, given that the participant was a woman is 0.0042.

P(woman) = 12/28

= 3/7

P(men) = 16/28

= 4/7

P(3 trouts) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) + P(3 trout | men)*P(man)

= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (15C3 * (0.09^3)*(1-0.09)^(15*3))*(4/7)

= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)

P(woman | 3 trout) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) / P(3 trouts)

{P(3 trout | women) = p}

p*(3/7) / (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)) = 0.40

p*(3/7)/0.40 = (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7))

p*((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7)) = (0.00476)*(4/7)

p = [(0.00476)*(4/7)] / [((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7))]

= 0.0042

The circle below is centered at the origin and has a radius of 4. What is its
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle's equation is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where h and k are the circle's center and r is the radius. We are told, and we can see, that the center of the circle is (0, 0) so h = 0 and k = 0. The radius, given as 4, goes into the equation squared, so the equation is

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=16 which simplifies down to

x^2+y^2=16, choice C.

Trig help please, 2 questions, 10 pts
Scrat [10]
1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700. 
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
