Answer: The correct choice is B.

When you have a vertical line in a probability statement, it is referring to the fact that the second event has already happened.

Imagine, drawing marbles from a bag of blue and red marbles. You could write a probability statement in which you asked, "What is the probability of drawing a red marble given that you just drew a blue marble?" 

In this case, you would use a vertical line separating the two events.

spayn [35]

Answer: There are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students eat in the cafeteria = 120

Fraction dislike lime beans = \dfrac{2}{3}

Fraction who dislike lime beans and brussles sprouts both = \dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{3}{5}

Fraction who dislikes lime beans but not brussles is given by

\dfrac{2}{3}(1-\dfrac{3}{5})\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{15}

So, Number of students who like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans is given by

\dfrac{4}{15}\times 120\\\\=32

Hence, there are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

On any given day, mail gets delivered by either Alice or Bob. If Alice delivers it, which happens with probability 1/4 , she doe
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

(a) The value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b) The value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Alice and <em>Y</em> denote delivery time of the mail delivered by Bob.

It i provided that:

X\sim U(9, 11)\\Y\sim U(10, 12)

The probability that Alice delivers the mail is, <em>p</em> = 1/4.

The probability that Bob delivers the mail is, <em>q</em> = 3/4.

The probability density function of a Uniform distribution with parameters [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ a, b>0} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

The probability density function of the delivery time of Alice is:

f(X_{A})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[9, 11]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

The probability density function of the delivery time of Bob is:

f(X_{B})=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a}=\frac{1}{2};\ [a, b]=[10, 12]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a)

Compute the value of fₓ (9.5) as follows:

For delivery time 9.5, only Alice can do the delivery because Bob delivers the mail in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (9.5) is:

f_{X}(9.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times0)\\=\frac{1}{8}\\=0.125

Thus, the value of fₓ (9.5) is 0.125.

(b)

Compute the value of fₓ (10.5) as follows:

For delivery time 10.5, both Alice and Bob can do the delivery because Alice's delivery time is in the interval 9 to 11 and that of Bob's is in the time interval 10 to 12.

The value of fₓ (10.5) is:

f_{X}(10.5)=p.f(X_{A})+q.f(X_B})\\=(\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2})+(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2})\\=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\\=0.50

Thus, the value of fₓ (10.5) is 0.50.

Please help!!! (Look at photo)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

330=40x+50

Step-by-step explanation:

then you would -50 from both sides

280=40x

then you would divide both sides by 40 to isolate x

7=x

so that means it would take 7 weeks
