The new length of the string is  (16 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the second one (counting from the top)

We know that the current string was (7 + 3/4) feet in length. Then they add another piece that measures 8.5 feet.

The new length of the string is given by the addition of the above two lengths, we will get:

L = (7 + 3/4) feet + 8.5 feet

We can rewrite the second length as a mixed number:

8.5 = 8 + 1/2 = 8 + 2/4

Replacing that we get:

L = (7 + 3/4) ft + 4.5 ft

 =  (7 + 3/4) ft + (8 + 2/4) ft

 = (7 + 8) ft + (3/4 + 2/4) ft

 = 15ft + 5/4ft = 15ft + (4/4 + 1/4)ft = (16 + 1/4)ft

The new length of the string is  (16 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the second one (counting from the top)

Why are generic pharmaceuticals significantly cheaper than name brand ones? <br><br> NEED HELP ASAP
RSB [31]

Answer:

Generic drugs tend to cost less than their brand-name counterparts because generic drug applicants do not have to repeat animal and clinical (human) studies that were required of the brand-name medicines to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

Generic pharmaceuticals are significantly cheaper than name brand ones because generic pharmaceuticals are not protected by patent law, so the lack of barriers to entry and increased competition keep prices down.

Also, the makers of generic drugs do not have to cover the cost of developing and marketing a new product.

The professor informs the class that there will be a test next week. what is the probability that a randomly selected student st
marusya05 [52]

The probability that students who were randomly selected studied for the test, if they pass it with a B or higher grade is: D. 0.80.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the probability that students who were randomly selected studied for the test, if they pass it with a B or higher grade. Thus, we would apply Bayes's theorem.

  • Let S represent studied for.
  • Let B represent a score of B or higher grade

Therefore, we need to find P(S|B):

S|B = \frac{B|S \times S}{B|S \times S\; +\; B|S' \times S'} \\\\S|B = \frac{0.55 \times 0.6}{0.55 \times 0.6 \;+ \;0.2 \times 0.4}\\\\S|B =\frac{0.33}{0.33 + 0.08} \\\\S|B =\frac{0.33}{0.41}

S|B = 0.80.

<u>Complete Question:</u>

At the beginning of the semester, a professor tells students that if they study for the tests, then there is a 55% chance they will get a B or higher on the tests. If they do not study, there is a 20% chance that they will get a B or higher on the tests. The professor knows from prior surveys that 60% of students study for the tests. The probabilities are displayed in the tree diagram.
