Answer:

A student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is 0.5865 or 58.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A class consists of 55% boys and 45% girls. It is observed that 25% of the class are boys and scored an A on the test, and 35% of the class are girls and scored an A on the test.

To find : If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is ?

Solution :  

Let B be event to choose boys and G be event to choose girls.

Let E be event to scored grade A.

We have given,

P(B)=55%=0.55

P(G)=45%=0.45

25% of the class are boys and scored an A on the test

P(E/B)=\dfrac{P(E\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.25}{0.55}=0.45

35% of the class are girls and scored an A on the test

P(E/G)=\dfrac{P(E\cap G)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.35}{0.45}=0.78

Using Baye's Theorem of probability

If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A.

P(G/E)=\dfrac{P(E/G)\times P(G)}{P(E/G)\times P(G)+P(E/B)\times P(B)}

P(G/E)=\dfrac{0.78\times 0.45}{0.78\times 0.45+0.45\times 0.55}

P(G/E)=0.5865

P(G/E)=58.65\%

Therefore, A student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is 0.5865 or 58.65%

Multiply and simplify. (x - 1)(x - 1)(x - 1)
Tanzania [10]
(sorry if it's too late and you've already figured it out, but here you go anyway)
The easiest way to do this is to start by FOILing then add.
So just start with (x-1)(x-1)
(x-1)(x-1)
Front: (x*x) = x^2
Outer: (x*-1) = -x
inner: (-1*x) = -x
Last: (-1*-1) = 1
Added: x^2 -2x +1
Now take that answer and do the same thing with (x-1). It's basically the same thing, just with an added thing you need to multiply.
(x-1)(x^2-2x+1)
(x*x^2) = x^3
(x*2x) = 2x^2
(x*1) = x
(-1*x^2) = -x^2
(-1*-2x) = 2x
(-1*1) = -1
Now add everything together:
x^3+2x^2+x-x^2+2x-1
The answer is:
x^3+x^2+3x-1
