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 surface area of the right prism given below?

posledela

Answer: Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the surface area of this right prism by adding the area of its faces.

You can observe that the faces of the right prism are: Three different rectangles and two equal triangles.

The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can observe that the hypotenuse of the each triangle is the width of one of the larger rectangle, then , you can find its value with the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a=\sqrt{b^2+c^2}$

Where "a" is the hypotenuse and "b" and "c" are the legs of the triangle.

Then, this is:

$a=\sqrt{(8units)^2+(15units)^2}=17units$

Therefore, you can add the areas of the faces to find the surface area of the right prism (Since the triangles are equal, you can multiply the area of one of them by 2). This is:

$SA=(10units)(8units)+(15units)(10units)+(17units)(10units)+2(\frac{(15units)(8units)}{2})\\\\SA=520units^2$

The right triangle shown has angles X, Y, and Z and side lengths a, b, and

laiz [17]

So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:

A.) Cos Z=b/c
B.) Sin X=c/b
C.) Tan X=b/a
D.) Tan Z=a/b

The answer would then be B. SinX = c/b.

Just remember SOH CAH TOA:

Sinθ= Opposite Cosθ = Adjacent Tanθ= Opposite
Hypotenuse Hypotenuse Adjacent

Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which.

Given m∠Z
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinZ= a CosZ = b TanZ= a
c c b

Given m∠X:

Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinX= b CosX = a TanX= b 
c c a

So the answer is B.

Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.

How do you solve inequalites

zhenek [66]

Many simple inequalities can be solved by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing both sides until you are left with the variable on its own.But these things will change direction of the inequality: ...Don't multiply or divide by a variable (unless you know it is always positive or always negative)
