Good morning ☕️

Answer:

<h2>(-2 , 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s easier to isolate y in the first equation because the coefficient of y there is just 1.

the coefficient of x in the first equation is -3 and in the second equation is 2 then it’s not easy to isolate x in both equation.

solving the system:

−3x + y = 9

2x + 4y = 8

⇔

y = 3x + 9  (*)

2x + 4y = 8

now, we substitute y by 3x + 9 in equation 2:

2x + 4(3x + 9) = 8  ⇔ 14x + 36 = 8 ⇔ 14x = - 28 ⇔ x = -28/14 = -2

at this stage we substitute x by -2 in (*) to get y:

y = 3x + 9 ⇒ y = 3(-2) + 9 = -6 + 9 = 3

finally, the solution of the system is the ordered pair (-2 , 3).

1 a. warmer

b. -8 is closer

c. -2 degrees

d.his elevation is 10 ft below sea level

2 a.0

b. -300

c. -450

3 Basically a fraction is division so divide the numerator by the denominator to get the calculation. For example 2.1 divided by 1.5 equals 1.4.

A company plans to launch a new product. They have traditionally had a 60% success rate with the launch of new products. Market
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The probability that the product will be successfully launched given that the market test result comes back negative is 0.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events provided as follows:

<em>S</em> = a product is successfully launched

<em>P</em> = positive test market result

The information provided is:

P (S) = 0.60

P (P | S) = 0.80

P (P | S') = 0.30

Then,

P (P' | S) = 1 - P (P | S) = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

P (P' | S') = 1 - P (P | S') = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

Compute the probability of positive test market result as follows:

P(P)=P(P|S)P(S)+P(P|S')P(S')

         =(0.80\times 0.60)+(0.30\times 0.40)\\\\=0.48+0.12\\\\=0.60

The probability of positive test market result is 0.60.

Then the probability of negative test market result is:

P (P') = 1 - P (P)

        = 1 - 0.60

        = 0.40

Compute the probability that the product will be successfully launched given that the market test result comes back negative as follows:

P(S|P')=\frac{P(P'|S)P(S)}{P(P')}

             =\frac{0.20\times 0.60}{0.40}\\\\=0.30

Thus, the probability that the product will be successfully launched given that the market test result comes back negative is 0.30.
