Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality is the slope of the line joining the two points
(70,40) and (49,28).
Recall the slope formula:
We substitute the point to get:
<u>Alternatively</u>:
A proportional relation is given by
where k is the constant of proportionality.
Using any point, we substitute and solve for k.
Answer:
The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.
Step-by-step explanation:
In terms of bayesian probability, we have to calculate P(B|Wr), or, given the witness saw the right colour, the taxi is from the Blue Cab company.
According to Bayes
P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr)
P(Wr|B) = 0,8
P(B) = 0.15
To calculate P(Wr), or the probability of the witness of guessing right, we have to consider the two possibilities:
1) The taxi is from Blue Cab (B) and the witness is right (Wr).
2) The taxi is from Green Cab (G) and the witness is wrong (Ww).
The total probality of guessing right is
P(B)*P(Wr) + P(G)*P(Ww) = 0.15*0.8 + 0.85*0.2 = 0.29
So we can calculate:
P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr) = 0.8*0.15/0.29 = 0.41
The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.
SOLUTION:
Step 1:
In this question, we are given the following:
What is the midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5)?
A. (-3.5, 1)
B. (1.5,-4)
C. (-4,1.5)
D. (1.-3.5)
Step 2:
The midpoint of a line segment with the endpoints (-4,-3) and (7,-5) is:
5 for 2.40
2.40 x 2 is 4.80 for 10 cans which is cheaper than 6.50
There are 4 red slices out of 9 total. So there are 9-4 = 5 slices that are not red. The odds in favor of landing on red is 4:5
We basically write the number of ways to get what we want (4), followed by a colon, then the second number is the number of ways to get what we don't want (anything but red; 5 ways)
So that's why the answer is 4:5
-----------------------------------
Side Note -- If we want the odds against, we simply flip the ratio. The odds against would be 5:4 because there are 5 ways to lose and 4 ways to win. This is assuming that landing on red means you win.
