Answer:

The probability that the student is blond and chosen be men is 65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A class consists of 60% men and 40% women. Blonde men compose 25% of the class, and blond women make up 20% of the class. If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a male.

To find : What is the probability that the student is blond?

Solution :  

Let the probability of men is 60% P(M)=0.6

The probability of women is 40% P(W)=0.4

Let B is the person blonde makeup.

The probability of blonde men is 25% P(B/M)=0.25

The probability of blonde women is 20% P(B/W)=0.20

We have to find the probability that the student is blonde and choosen is men i.e. P(M/B)

Applying Baye's Theorem,

P(M/B)=\frac{P(B/M)\times P(M)}{P(B/M)\times P(M)+P(B/W)\times P(W)}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.25\times 0.6}{0.25\times 0.6+0.20\times 0.4}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.15}{0.15+0.08}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.15}{0.23}

P(M/B)=0.65

Therefore, The probability that the student is blond and chosen be men is 65%.

What is the solution to the system of equations <br><br> 3x+2y=39<br> 5x-y=13
Vadim26 [7]

Hiya. I'm going to rewrite the second equation.

By subtracting 5x by both sides, I'll be able to have y by itself:

-y=-5x+13

I'm going to then divide both sides by -1 to get:

y=5x-13.


Then, I'm going to plug that equation into the first equation

3x+2(5x-13)=39

Factor:

3x+10x-26=39

Combine like terms:

13x=65

Divide both sides by 13 to get x by itself to get x=5


Plug this back into the equation of y=5x-13

y=5(5)-13 to get y=12

Need help with this. Show your steps so I could check my work and my answer.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at C is 90 degrees, and BCD is a right triangle, so we can applythe Pythagorean theorem here -- 60²+m²=65², so 65²-60²=m²=625. The possible values for m are 25 and -25, and since m can't be negative, 25 is our answer as 25 is the square root of 625
