Answer:

The probability that a person did not attend college if the person is not currently employed is 0.5602.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person attended college

<em>Y</em> = a person is employed.

Given:

P(X)=0.59\\P(Y|X)=0.94\\P(Y|X^{c})=0.89

Compute the value of P(Y^{c}|X^{c}) as follows:

P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-P(Y|X^{c}) = 1 - 0.89=0.11

Compute the probability of a person being employed as follows:

P(Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})\\=(0.94\times0.59)+(0.89\times(1-0.59))\\=0.5546+0.3649\\=0.9195

Then the value a person being not employed is:

P(Y^{c})=1-P(Y)=1-0.9195=0.0805

Compute the value of P(X^{c}|Y^{c}) as follows:

P(X^{c}|Y^{c})=\frac{P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})}{P(Y^{c})}=\frac{0.11\times(1-0.59)}{0.0805}=0.5602

Thus, the probability that a person did not attend college if the person is not currently employed is 0.5602.

Two numbers total 10, and there difference is 12. Find a smaller of the two numbers.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

There doesn't seem to be numbers to answer that, do you have the question right? If it was a difference of 18, for example, the numbers would be 64 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 numbers that added together, equal 10.

91

82

73

64

55

46

37

28

19

Then subtract them by their opposites. Find the numbers with the difference of 12.

91 - 19 = 72

82 -  28 = 54

73 - 37 = 36

64 - 46 = 18

55 - 55 = 0

46 - 64 = -18

37 - 73 = -36

28 - 82 = -54

19 - 91 = -72

There is no numbers with the difference of 12.

If it was a difference of 18, for example, the numbers would be 64 and 36.
