A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
Answer: you could buy 12 magazines
Step-by-step explanation:
each magazine is $2
Step 1
<u>Find the value of TS</u>
we know that
if PQ is parallel to RS. then triangles TRS and TPQ are similar
so
solve for TS
we have
substitute
Step 2
<u>Find the value of SQ</u>
we know that
we have
substitute
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the value of SQ is

Answer:
700
Step-by-step explanation:
You figure this out by multiplying 70 by 10:
10×70 = 700
Answer:
250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.
Step-by-step explanation:
-1
If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function
P = 2a + 1.5b
subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.
Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.
You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.
