Answer:

The probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have here a case where we need to use Bayes' Theorem and all conditional probabilities related. Roughly speaking, a conditional probability is a kind of probability where an event determines the occurrence of another event. Mathematically:

\\ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

In the case of the Bayes' Theorem, we have also a conditional probability where one event is the sum of different probabilities.

We have a series of different probabilities that we have to distinguish one from the others:

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is a Millennial is:

\\ P(T|M) = 0.47

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Generation X is:

\\ P(T|X) = 0.36

The probability that a person has a tattoo assuming that is of Boomers is:

\\ P(T|B) = 0.13

The probability of being of Millennials is:

\\ P(M) = 0.22

The probability of being of Generation X is:

\\ P(X) = 0.20

The probability of being of Boomers is:

\\ P(B) = 0.22

Therefore, the probability of the event of having a tattoo P(T) is:

\\ P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M) + P(T|X)*P(X) + P(T|B)*P(B)

\\ P(T) = 0.47*0.22 + 0.36*0.20 + 0.13*0.22

\\ P(T) = 0.204

For non-independent events that happen at the same time, we can say that the probability of occurring simultaneously is:

\\ P(M \cap T) = P(M|T)*P(T)

Or

\\ P(T \cap M) = P(T|M)*P(M)

But

\\ P(M \cap T) = P(T \cap M)

Then

\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)

We are asked for the probability that a person is a Millennial given or assuming that they have tattoos or P(M | T). Solving the previous formula for the latter:

\\ P(M|T)*P(T) = P(T|M)*P(M)

\\ P(M|T) = \frac{P(T|M)*P(M)}{P(T)}

We have already know that

\\ P(T|M) = 0.47\;P(M) = 0.22\;and\;P(T) = 0.204.

Therefore

\\ P(M|T) = \frac{0.47*0.22}{0.204}

\\ P(M|T) = 0.50686 \approx 0.51

Thus, the probability that a person is a Millennial given that they have tattoos is 0.5069 (50.69%) or about 0.51 (51%).

Identifiy the initial amount a and the decay factor b in the exponential function y=5×0.5^×
xenn [34]

Answer:

a=5\\ \\b=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential decay function y=5\cdot (0.5)^x

When x=0, then

y=5\cdot (0.5)^0=5\cdot 1=5,

so the initial amount is a=5

The exponential decay function y=a\cdot b^x has the decay factor b.

In your case, the eexponential decay factor is b=0.5

A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x-x+5 and 8-3x-3 are equivalent using substitution.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

option (b) is correct.

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x - x + 5 and 8 - 3x - 3 are equivalent using substitution.

We have to choose the correct method from the given options that the class has suggested.

Since we have to show the given expressions 4x - x + 5 and 8 - 3x - 3 are equivalent using substitution.

We will choose a single value of x  and then evaluate both the  given expression at that single value and if the output of both expression comes out to be same then the two expressions must be equivalent.

For example lets take x = 2,

Then  expression 4x - x + 5 becomes 4(2) - 2 +5 = 8 - 2 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

also, expression 8 - 3x - 3  becomes 8 - 3(2) - 3 = 8- 6 - 3 = 8  - 9  = -1

thus, the value is not equal hence, the two expression are not equivalent.

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Find the work done by the force Bold Upper F equals xy Bold i plus (y minus x )Bold j over the straight line from (negative 1 co
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<h2>4/3 Joules </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when force applied to an object causes the object to move through a distance.

Work done = Force * perpendicular distance.

\int\limits^a_b {F} \, ds

Given Force F = xy i + (y-x) j and a straight line (-1, -2) to (1, 2)

First we need to get the equation of the straight line given.

Given the slope intercept form y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

m = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

m = 2-(-2)/1-(-1)

m = 4/2

m = 2

To get the slope we will substtutte any f the point and the slope into the formula y = mx+c

Using the point (1,2)

2 = 2+c

c = 0

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into the value of the force F = xy i + (y-x) j we will have;

F = x(2x) i + (2x - x) j

Using the coordinate (1, 2) as the value of s

W = \int\limits^a_b ({2x^2 i + x j}) \, (i+2j)\\W = \int\limits^a_b ({2x^{2}+2x }) \, dx \\W = [\frac{2x^{3} }{3} +x^{2} ]\left \ x_2=1} \atop {x_1=-1}} \right.\\W = (2(1)^3/3 + 1^2) -  (2(-1)^3/3 + (-1)^2)\\W =(2/3+1) - (-2/3+1)\\W = 2/3+2/3+1-1\\W = 4/3 Joules
