MArishka [77]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a) 8/10

b) 0.001 \overline{33}

c) Independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The proportion of women than carries a mutation of the BRCA gene, P(A) = 1/600

The proportion of women in which the mutation develops breast cancer, P(B) = 8/10

a) The probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene is given as follows;

1 × P(B) = 1 × 8/10 = 8/10

b) The probability, P that a randomly selected woman woman will carry the mutation of the BRCA gene and will develop breast cancer is given as follows;

P(A) × P(B) = 1/600×8/10 = 1/750 = 0.001 \overline{33}

c) The events are dependent

Given that P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B), the events of carrying the mutation and developing Breast cancer are independent events.

What is the prime factorizarion for 500​
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

2 exponents (2) times 5 exponents (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the prime factors you start by dividing the number by the first prime number which is 2 if there is not a remainder meaning you can divide evenly anymore write down how many 2's you were able to divide by evenly now try dividing by the the next prime factor which is 3 the goal is to get to a quotient of 1

Triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $B$. Legs $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CB}$ are extended past point $B$ to points $D$ and
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Given :

ABC is a right triangle in which ∠ABC = 90°,

Also, Legs AB and CB are extended past point B to points D and E,

Such that,

\angle EAC = \angle ACD = 90^{\circ}

To prove :

EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Proof :

In triangles AEC and EBA,

∠EAC= ∠ABE ( right angles )

∠CEA = ∠AEB ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle EBA,

Similarly,

\triangle AEC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies\triangle EBA\sim \triangle ABC-----(1)

Now, In triangles ADC and CBD,

∠ACD = ∠CBD ( right angles )

∠ADC= ∠BDC ( common angles )

By AA similarity postulate,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle CBD,

Similarly,

\triangle ADC \sim \triangle ABC

\implies \triangle CBD\sim \triangle ABC-----(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

\triangle EBA\sim \triangle CBD

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proportion,

\frac{EB}{BC}=\frac{AB}{BD}

\implies EB\times BD=AB\times BC

Hence, proved....
