A master student is planning to take a qualifying exam in the coming summer. She has three chances. The first one is in June. If

she fails the 1st one, then she can have a 2nd try in July, and if she also fails that one, she will take the 3rd one in August. If she fails all three exams, then she is not qualified. The chance of passing the 1st one is 0.5, the chance of passing the 2nd one is 0.7, and the chance of passing the 3rd one is 0.8. And these chances are independent. a) What is the probability that she passes the qualification? b) Given that she passes the qualification, what is the conditional probability that she passes on the second try?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P_1=Probability of clearing exam in 1 st attempt=0.5

P_2=Probability of clearing exam in 2 nd attempt=0.7

P_3=Probability of clearing exam in 3 rd attempt=0.8

Probability that she passes the exam=P(1 st\ attempt)+P(1\ fail)\cdot P(2\ pass)+P(1\ fail)\cdot P(2\ fail)\cdot P(3 rd pass)

P=0.5+0.5\times 0.7+0.5\times 0.3\times 0.8=0.97

(b)P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification)

P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification)=\frac{P(fail\ on\ 1 )\cdot P(pass\ in\ 2nd)}{P(passes)}

P(Pass qualification on 2nd try|passes qualification)=\frac{0.5\times 0.7}{0.97}=0.3608

Define the axis of symmetry, vertex, focus and directrix for
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in the form ...

  4p(y -k) = (x -h)^2 . . . . . (h, k) is the vertex; p is the focus-vertex distance

Comparing this to your equation, we see ...

  p = 4, (h, k) = (3, 4)

p > 0, so the parabola opens upward. The vertex is on the axis of symmetry. That axis has the equation x=x-coordinate of vertex. This tells you ...

  vertex: (3, 4)

  axis of symmetry: x = 3

  focus: (3, 8) . . . . . 4 units up from vertex

  directrix: y = 0 . . . horizontal line 4 units down from vertex

Ruden bought 6 new books for his collection, increasing his collection by 12%. How many books did he have before his purchase?
forsale [732]

Answer:

he had 44 books before he bought those 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 6 times 2 it is 12, which means if you take away 12 from 100 that is 88. if you divided 88 by 2 (the same thing you did to the 6 to make it 12%) that would be 44.
