Solve for k. 9/2k-3=4/k+1

1 answer:

6 0

You'll need to use parentheses here to convey this problem accurately to possible helpers. Unsure of whether you mean (9/2)k -3 or 9 / (2k-3).

I will assume that you mean:

9 4
------- = ---------
2k-3 k+1

Cross mult: 9k+9=8k-12, so k= -21.

If that's not what you expected, then try again to present the problem without ambiguities.

Answer:

1. $P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

2. $P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

3. $P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$P(s_1)=0.1, P(s_2)=0.6, P(s_3)=0.3$

$P(I|s_1)=0.15,P(I|s_2)=0.2,P(I|s_3)=0.1$

(1)

We need to find the value of P(s₁|I).

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{(0.15)(0.1)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.165}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₁|I) is $\frac{1}{11}$ .

(2)

We need to find the value of P(s₂|I).

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{P(I|s_2)P(s_2)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{(0.2)(0.6)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.165}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₂|I) is $\frac{8}{11}$ .

(3)

We need to find the value of P(s₃|I).

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{(0.1)(0.3)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.165}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₃|I) is $\frac{2}{11}$ .

Find x. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa [10]

Answer:

4√6

Step-by-step explanation:

The line marked x meets the base of the isosceles triangle at its midpoint, so dividing the triangle into two congruent right triangles with leg 5 and hypotenuse 11.

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find x:

5² + x² = 11²

x² = 121 -25 . . . . . . subtract 25 from both sides of the equation

x = √96 . . . . . . . . . take the square root

x = 4√6 . . . . . . . . . simplify the radical
