A population of voters contains 46% Republicans, 45% Democrats and the rest are Independents. Assume 50% of Republicans, 40% of

Democrats, and 60% of Independents favor an election issue. A person chosen at random from this population is found to favor the issue in question. Find the conditional probability this person is a democrat. (Round off up to two decimal points.) Group of answer choices 0.18 0.51 0.71 0.39

Answer:

The probability is 0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating a conditional probability;

Let the event that a voter is a Republican be R , the event that a voter is a Democrat be D and that a voter is an independent is I

Let the event that the election issue is favored be F

We have the following probabilities;

P(R) = 46% = 0.46

P(D) = 45% = 0.45

P(I) = 1-0.45-0.46 = 0.09

The conditional probability we want to calculate is;

P(D | F) which can be read as probability of event D given event F

From the question, we can identify the following conditional probabilities;

P(F|R) = 0.46 * 0.5 = 0.23 (0.5 is gotten from 50% = 50/100)

P(F | D) = 0.45 * 0.4 = 0.18

P( F | I) = 0.09 * 0.6 = 0.054

P(F) = 0.054 + 0.18 + 0.23 = 0.464

Mathematically; From Baye’s theorem

P( D | F) ={ P ( F | D) * P(D) }/ P(F)

P( D | F) = (0.18 * 0.45)/0.464 = 0.1745

A general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 20 feet by 12 feet and 4 inche
ikadub [295]

First we calculate the volume of the foundation:

Volume (V) = 20 ft * 12 ft * 4 in (1 ft / 12 in)

V = 80 ft^3

 

Since the cost is in cubic yard (yard^3) so convert:

V = 80 ft^3 * (1 yard^3 / 27 ft^3) = 2.963 yard^3

 

So the total cost is:

cost = ($125 / yard^3) * 2.963 yard^3

<span>cost = $370.37</span>

Brainly y=-1/3x+5 graph
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The answer will be listed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the equation, first mark down your y-intercept which would be 5. Look at the y-axis and put a dot on 5. Now you must graph the slope of the line. To graph the slope, you would use rise/run (1/3). You would start on 5 and go up one and to the right three times. Keep repeating the process until you run out. Now draw the line through the dots and you did it!

The square of a number, x, is 16 less than eight times the number. What is the number? Type the correct answer in the box. Use n
liraira [26]

Given :

The square of a number, x, is 16 less than eight times the number.

To Find :

The value of x .

Solution :

The mathematical equation with all given data is :

x^2=8x-16\\\\x^2-8x+16=0\\\\x^2-4x-4x+16=0\\\\x(x-4)-4(x-4)=0\\\\(x-4)^2=0\\\\x=4

Therefore , the value of x is 4 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
