Answer:
a) 2.9%
b) Option B is correct.
The prisoners must be independent with regard to recidivism.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability that one prisoner goes back to prison = 17% = 0.17
a) The probability that two prisoners released both go back to prison = 0.17 × 0.17 = 0.0289 = 2.89% = 2.9% to 1 d.p
b) The only assumption taken during the calculation is that probability of one of the prisoners going back to prison has no effect whatsoever in the probability that another prisoner goes back to prison. That is the probability that theses two events occur are totally independent of each other.
If they weren't, we wouldn't be able to use 0.17 as the probability that the other prisoner goes back to prison too.
The answer is 57 4/7 or 57 full pages.
You divide 403 by 7 which equals 57 4/7 or 58(rounded up) if you are counting pages needed.
You can see on the graph that the y-intercept is 1, so you can eliminate answers B and D.
To find the slope, just count rise over run. The slope is 3/2.
So, the equation of the line is y = 3/2x + 1.
