We have given the table of number of male and female contestants who did and did not win prize

The probability that a randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant was female is

P(contestant won prize / Contestant was female)

Here we will use conditional probability formula

P(A/B) = \frac{P( A and B)}{P(B)}

Let Event A = selected contestant won prize and

event B = selected contestant is famale

Then numerator entity will

P(A and B) = P(Contestant won prize and Contestant is female)

= Number of female contestant who won prize / Total number of contestant

= 3 /(4+9+3+10)

= 3 / 26

P(A and B) = 0.1153

P(B) = P(contestant is female )

= Number of female contestant / Total number of contestants

= (3+10) / 26

P(B) = 0.5

Now P(A / B) = \frac{P( A and B)}{P(B)}

= 0.1153 / 0.5

P(A / B) = 0.2306

The probability that randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant is female is 0.2306

Converting probability into percentage 23.06%

The percentage that randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant is female is 23%

In inches, Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine, who is 32 inches tall. How tall is Micah in inches?
Monica [59]
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine

Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine

Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5    <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5

Micah = 64 - 5

Micah = 59

Micah is 59 inches tall

Find an equation of the line in the form ax+by=c whose​ x-intercept is 12 and​ y-intercept is 4​, where​ a, b, and c are integer
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line  in ax+by=c  form where a,b,c  are integers with no factor common to all​ three, and greater than or equal 0 is:

x+3y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x-intercept = 12

y-intercept = 4

To find the equation of line in the form ax+by=c where a,b,c  are integers with no factor common to all​ three, and greater than or equal 0.

Solution:

The x-intercept is the point at which the line cuts the x-axis. The point of x-intercept is given as (x,0)

Thus, on point of the line is (12,0)

The y-intercept is the point at which the line cuts the y-axis. The point of y-intercept is given as (0,y).

Thus, on point of the line is (0,4)

Using the two points we can find the slope of the line using the slope formula.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

So, slope of the line can b given as:

m=\frac{4-0}{0-12}

m=\frac{4}{-12}

m=-\frac{1}{3}

The slope intercept form of the equation of he line is given as:

y=mx+b

where m represents slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.

So, the equation of the line can be given as:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x+4

Multiplying each term by 3 to remove fraction.

3y=3.-\frac{1}{3}x+4(3)

3y=-x+12

Adding x both sides.

3y+x=-x+x+12

3y+x=12

Thus, the equation of the line  in ax+by=c  form where a,b,c  are integers with no factor common to all​ three, and greater than or equal 0 is:

x+3y=12

Can you help? photo is included<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>​
laiz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-4x+2

g(x)=x²+1

(gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(-4x+2)=(-4x+2)²+2=16x²-16x+4+2=16x²-16x+6

(gof)(3)=16(3)²-16(3)+6=144-48+6=150-48=102
