A recent survey shows that the probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6. further, given that the student is over

21 years old, the probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8. it is also known that 30% of the college students are over 21 years old. what is the probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old? 0.66 0.36 0.24 0.42

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6.

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

30\% of the college students are over 21 years old.

Explanation:

Consider X be the event that a student is over 21 years old.

Consider Y be the event that a student drinks alcohol.

The probability of event X can be expressed as follows,

P\left( X \right) = 0.3

The probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8.

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years can be obtained  as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}&= P\left( X \right) \times P\left( {Y/X} \right)\\&= 0.3 \times 0.8\\&= 0.24\\\end{aligned}

The probability of drinking alcohol and being over 21 years old is \boxed{0.24{\text{ or 24\% }}}. Option (c) is correct.

A scatter plot containing the point (5,9) has the regression equation y = -x-3 (see photo)
Tatiana [17]
The residual is the difference between the plotted point and the line of best fit.

We first need to know the point at x=5 for the line of best fit.
y1 = -(5) - 3 = -8

Now we need to find the difference between the line of best fit and the plotted point.
residual = 9 -(-8) = 9 + 8 = 17 or C

Question 1.1. Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 4.
Nookie1986 [14]
Answer: Question 1.1: It is 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean.

Our value of 26 is 6 units about the mean of 20. If each standard deviation is 4, we just divide 6 by 4. This gives us the number of standard deviations.

Question 2.2 The correct answer is -0.52

If we are 0.52 standard deviations below the mean, then our z-score is simply -0.52. The definition of a z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.

What is the value of x so that the line segment with endpoints W(x, −2) and X(5, −4) is parallel to the line segment with endpoi
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

x equals six start fraction one over two end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments which are parallel have the same slope. Find the slope of of YZ. Then using that value, find the slope WX and solve for the value of x.

Slope of YZ is:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-6}{2-5}=\frac{-4}{-3}=\frac{4}{3}

Since they are parallel, then WX has a slope of 4/3 too.

Slope of WX is:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{-2--4}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{x-5}\\\\\frac{4}{3} (x-5) = 2\\\\4x -20=6\\\\4x = 26\\\\x = 6\frac{1}{2}

Which of the following functions have a vertical asymptote for values of θ such that cos θ = 1? Select two answers.
valentina_108 [34]
Well costheta=1, at 0, 2pi,... 
knowing this we can exclude the first two as the are not undefined anywhere. 
tan is sin/cos, at 0 sin is also 0 so it becomes 0/1 which is 0, not undefined.
sec is1/cos, cos is 1, this is just 1
csc is 1/sin, sin is 0, 1/0 is undefined, meaning there will be an asymptote 
cot is cos/sin, this is again 1/0, so it is also an asymptote
The last two answers are the ones you want
