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%).

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary
Mariulka [41]

Answer: her sales last week was $4300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her her sales in a week.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. This means that the commission she gets if she makes sales of $x is 0.0825x

She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. The expression for the total earnings for a week in which she made sales of $x would be

0.0825x + 675

if her total earnings for last week were $1,029.75, it means that

0.0825x + 675 = 1029.75

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 354.75

x = 354.75/0.0825

x = $4300

F. Please answer this as soon as possible.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

-2\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{8}{3}

To divide, just multiply by the reciprocal.

So -2\frac{2}{3} ÷ \frac{2}{9} becomes -\frac{8}{3} ÷

Now you can multiply straight across.

-\frac{8}{3} × \frac{9}{2} = -\frac{72}{6}

And simplify.

-\frac{72}{6} = -12

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study of the relationship between geographical mobility (number of times a person has changed residences) and number of friends, Pearson's r^2 is reported as .40.

r square, being the coefficient of determination explains the variablity of one variable due to the variability of the other.  Here Mobility explains 40% variation in the number of friends is right answer.

Option B is wrong because r = ±6324, so cannot say positive or negative.

Similarly option c is wrong because we are unsure whether negative correlation.  Option d is wrong since 16% is not right .
