Answer:

The probability is:

                \dfrac{4}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

16% of the student population is taking a calculus course.

11% is taking a physics course.

and 4% is taking both.

Now we are asked to find the probability that the student is taking a calculus course given that he is taking physics course.

Let A denote the event of taking a calculus course.

B denote the event of taking a physics course.

A∩B denote the event of taking both.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

                  P(A|B)

We know that:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

From the information we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=0.04

P(B)=0.11

              Hence,

P(A|B)=\dfrac{0.04}{0.11}\\\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{4}{11}=0.3636

Please help me interpret the p-value!
alexandr402 [8]

The correct interpretation of the p-value is given by:

B If the average battery life really is 5 hours, then a sample of 10 observations having a sample mean of 4.25 hours or lower would only occur about 3.8% of the line.

<h3>How to find the p-value of a test?</h3>

It depends on the test statistic z, as follows:

  • For a left-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of z, which is the p-value of z.
  • For a right-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the right of z, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z.
  • For a two-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of -z combined with the area to the right of z, hence it is 2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the p-value of z, which means that the p-value for a two-tailed test is twice the p-value of a one-tailed test.

In this problem, a left-tailed test is used, as we are testing if the mean is less than 5 hours.

The sample mean from the 10 times was of 4.25, and the p-value is of 0.038, which means that the area to the left of Z under the normal curve is of 0.038, that is, a sample mean of 4.25 hours or lower would only occur about 3.8% of the line, hence option B is correct.

How to find the area of a equilateral triangle that has a perimeter of 21?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
First, we have to find the length of each side of triangle. Equilateral triangle means 3 sides r in same length, so each side will be 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Now we need to calculate the height of the triangle. We can do this by Pythagoras theorem
Let the height be h
(7/2)^2 + x^2 = 7^2
The area should be 6.0621778265
Or u can say 6.06 corrected to 3 sig fig

The solution to the system equations
katovenus [111]

Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.

We have these two equations.

-7x-2y=14

6x+6y=18

Now let divide the second equation by 6.

6x+6y=18 ---->   x+y=3

Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.

x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)

Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.

-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)

We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.

-7(3-y)-2y=14

-21+7y-2y=14

5y=35

y=7

Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.

x+y=3

x+7=3

x=-4

answer: x=-4, y=7
