A = event the person got the class they wanted

B = event the person is on the honor roll

P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)

P(A) = 379/500

P(A) = 0.758

There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want

Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found

So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).

---------------

A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll

P(A and B) = 64/500

P(A and B) = 0.128

P(B) = 144/500

P(B) = 0.288

P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288

P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately

This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.

Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.

Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.

The amount of carbon-14 in an object is given by y = ae– 0.00012t where a is the initial amount of carbon and t is the age in ye
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The approximate age of the bone is approximately 11552 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The current proportion of carbon-14 with respect to its original amount is defined by following formula:

\frac{y}{a} = e^{-0.00012\cdot t} (1)

Where:

y - Current amount of carbon-14, no unit.

a - Initial amount of carbon-14, no unit.

t - Time, in years.

If we know that \frac{y}{a} = 0.25, then the approximate age of the bone is:

t = -8333.333\cdot \ln \frac{y}{a}

t\approx 11552.453\,yr

The approximate age of the bone is approximately 11552 years.

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $2,632 was collected on the sale of 1,128 ticket
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A = number of adult tickets

S = number of student tickets

1033 = total tickets sold

A + S = 1033

5A = money collected for adult tickets

S = money collected for student tickets

2265 = total money collected

5A + S = 2265

two equations and two unknowns:

5A + S = 2265

A + S = 1033

subtract 2nd equation from 1st and solve for A:

4A = 1232

A = 308

Plug in value for A in 1st equation and solve for S:

A + S = 1033

308 + S = 1033

S = 725

If (he)={(0,1),(2,3),(-4,1)}, find h^-1(x)
ololo11 [35]

The given function is

h(x) = \{ (0,1), (2,3), (-4, 1) \}

The inverse function is

h^{-1}(x) = \{ (1,0), (3,2), (1,-4)\}

To get the inverse, we swap each x and y coordinate.

The rule is (x,y) \to (y,x)

So that's why the point (0,1) becomes (1,0) for instance.
