Change 239 to a common fraction or mixed number and express it in its simplest form

1 answer:

8 0

If this is suppose to be 239%....

change to a fraction to look like this 238/100. This number cannot be reduced, so the common fraction is 239/100.

to make it a mixed number, you would simply divide 239 by 100. Your answer would come out to 2 with a remainder of 39. Put the remainder over the divisor and your answer for a mixed number will be 2 and 39/100.

Answer:

He must work additional 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 1550.00/20=7.75

217.00/7.75=28

28-20=8

So,an additional of 8 hours

Captain Ben has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Luis and his merciless band of t

grigory [225]

Answer:

We can see that this is dependent probability. We can find dependent probability of happening event A then event B by multiplying probability of event A by probability of event B given that event A already happened.

Step-by-step explanation:

In our case event A is pirate hitting captain's ship and event B is captain missing pirate's ship. We have been given that pirate shoots first so pirate's ship can't be hit before pirate shoots his cannons. So probability of hitting captain's ship is 1/3. We have been given that if Captain Ben's ship is already hit then Captain Ben will always miss. So the probability of Captain missing the dread pirate's ship given the pirate Luis hitting the Captain ship is 1. Now to find probability that pirate hits Captain, but Captain misses we will multiply our both probabilities.

To better understand how husbands and wives feel about their finances, Money Magazine conducted a national poll of 1010 married

Xelga [282]

Answer:

a. See the table below

b. See the table below

c. 0.548

d. 0.576

e. 0.534

f) i) 0.201, ii) 0.208

Explanation:

First, order the information provided:

Table: "Who is better at getting deals?"

Who Is Better?

Respondent I Am My Spouse We Are Equal

Husband 278 127 102

Wife 290 111 102

a. Develop a joint probability table and use it to answer the following questions. 

The joint probability table shows the same information but as proportions. Hence, you must divide each number of the table by the total number of people in the set of responses.

1. Number of responses: 278 + 127 + 102 + 290 + 111 + 102 = 1,010.

2. Calculate each proportion:

278/1,010 = 0.275
127/1,010 = 0.126
102/1,010 = 0.101
290/1,010 = 0.287
111/1,010 = 0.110
102/1,010 = 0.101

3. Construct the table with those numbers:

Joint probability table:

Respondent I Am My Spouse We Are Equal

Husband 0.275 0.126 0.101

Wife 0.287 0.110 0.101

Look what that table means: it tells that the joint probability of being a husband and responding "I am" is 0.275. And so for every cell: every cell shows the joint probability of a particular gender with a particular response.

Hence, that is why that is the joint probability table.

b. Construct the marginal probabilities for Who Is Better (I Am, My Spouse, We Are Equal). Comment.

The marginal probabilities are calculated for each for each row and each column of the table. They are shown at the margins, that is why they are called marginal probabilities.

For the colum "I am" it is: 0.275 + 0.287 = 0.562

Do the same for the other two colums.

For the row "Husband" it is 0.275 + 0.126 + 0.101 = 0.502. Do the same for the row "Wife".

Table Marginal probabilities:

Respondent I Am My Spouse We Are Equal Total

Husband 0.275 0.126 0.101 0.502

Wife 0.287 0.110 0.101 0.498

Total 0.562 0.236 0.202 1.000

Note that when you add the marginal probabilities of the each total, either for the colums or for the rows, you get 1. Which is always true for the marginal probabilities.

c. Given that the respondent is a husband, what is the probability that he feels he is better at getting deals than his wife? 

For this you use conditional probability.

You want to determine the probability of the response be " I am" given that the respondent is a "Husband".

Using conditional probability:

P ( "I am" / "Husband") = P ("I am" ∩ "Husband) / P("Husband")

P ("I am" ∩ "Husband) = 0.275 (from the intersection of the column "I am" and the row "Husband)

P("Husband") = 0.502 (from the total of the row "Husband")

P ("I am" ∩ "Husband) / P("Husband") = 0.275 / 0.502 = 0.548

d. Given that the respondent is a wife, what is the probability that she feels she is better at getting deals than her husband?

You want to determine the probability of the response being "I am" given that the respondent is a "Wife", for which you use again the formula for conditional probability:

P ("I am" / "Wife") = P ("I am" ∩ "Wife") / P ("Wife")

P ("I am" / "Wife") = 0.287 / 0.498

P ("I am" / "Wife") = 0.576

e. Given a response "My spouse," is better at getting deals, what is the probability that the response came from a husband?

You want to determine: P ("Husband" / "My spouse")

Using the formula of conditional probability:

P("Husband" / "My spouse") = P("Husband" ∩ "My spouse")/P("My spouse")

P("Husband" / "My spouse") = 0.126/0.236

P("Husband" / "My spouse") = 0.534

f. Given a response "We are equal" what is the probability that the response came from a husband? What is the probability that the response came from a wife?

What is the probability that the response came from a husband?

P("Husband" / "We are equal") = P("Husband" ∩ "We are equal" / P ("We are equal")

P("Husband" / "We are equal") = 0.101 / 0.502 = 0.201

What is the probability that the response came from a wife:

P("Wife") / "We are equal") = P("Wife" ∩ "We are equal") / P("We are equal")

P("Wife") / "We are equal") = 0.101 / 0.498 = 0.208
