Answer: A. \dfrac{8}{19}

B. \dfrac{5}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

For any event A and B , the conditional probability of having B given that A is given by :-

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\text{P(A and B)}}{\text{P(b)}}

From the given table , the total number of players = 370

A. Number of players under 6 feet = 285

Then , the probability that a player is over 6 feet :-

\dfrac{285}{370}

Number of players that are under 6 feet and a forward = 120

Then , the probability that under 6 feet and a forward :-

\dfrac{120}{370}

Now, if it is given that Russell is 5'9" (under 6 feet), then the probability that he is a forward:-

\text{P(Forward}|\text{under 6 feet)}=\dfrac{\text{P(under 6 feet and forward)}}{\text{P(under 6 feet)}}\\\\\text{P(Forward}|\text{under 6 feet)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{120}{370}}{\dfrac{285}{370}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{120}{285}=\dfrac{8}{19}

B. Number of players over 6 feet = 85

Then , the probability that a player is over 6 feet :-

\dfrac{85}{370}

Number of players that are over 6 feet and guard = 25

Then , the probability that over 6 feet and guard :-

\dfrac{25}{370}

Now, if it is given that Peter is 6'2" (over 6 feet), then the probability that he is a guard :-

\text{P(Guard}|\text{over 6 feet)}=\dfrac{\text{P(over 6 feet and guard)}}{\text{P(over 6 feet)}}\\\\\text{P(Guard}|\text{over 6 feet)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{25}{370}}{\dfrac{85}{370}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{25}{85}=\dfrac{5}{17}

Answer:

1. \dfrac{120}{285}=\dfrac{8}{19}

2. \dfrac{25}{285}=\dfrac{5}{57}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Russell is 5'9'' (under 6 feet). There are 130+120+35=285 players with the height under 6 feet and 120 of them are forwards. The probability that Russell is a forward is

\dfrac{120}{285}=\dfrac{8}{19}

2.  Peter is 6'2'' (over 6 feet). There are 25+30+30=85 players with the height over 6 feet and 25 of them are guards. The probability that Peter is a guard is

\dfrac{25}{285}=\dfrac{5}{57}

In the figure, WY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯WY¯ and XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯XZ¯ intersect at point VV, the measure of ∠WVZ∠WVZ is (11x−19)°(11x−19)°, and the me
Zepler [3.9K]
Assuming a diagram similar to the one I've attached, ∠<em>YVZ</em> is a vertical angle to ∠<em>WVX</em>, which means they have an equal measure.  Additionally, ∠<em>WVZ</em> and ∠<em>WVX</em> form a linear pair, which means they are supplementary (sum to 180°).  That means we start out with the equation
(11x-19)+(8x+28)=180
We combine our like terms (the <em>x</em>'s get combined, then the constants get combined) and have:
19x+9=180
Cancel the 9 first by subtraction:
19x+9-9=180-9 \\ 19x=171
Cancel the 19 by division:
\frac{19x}{19}= \frac{171}{19}   \\ x=9
Since we know that our angle we're looking for, ∠<em>YVZ</em>, is the same measure as ∠<em>WVX</em>, we substitute 9 in for <em>x</em>:
8(9)+28=72+28=100°

Use the square root property to solve x^2-9=0<br> Please help and please show work if you can
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 3 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have the equation x² - 9 = 0

Move the 9 to the other side: x² = 9

Then take the square root of both sides: \sqrt{x^{2} } = ±\sqrt{9}

x = ±\sqrt{9} = ±3

x = 3 or -3
