A water well is to be drilled in the desert where the soil is either​ rock, clay or sand. The probability of rock ​P(R)equals=0.

53. The clay probability is ​P(C)equals=0.21. The sand probability is ​P(S)equals=0.26. If the soil is​ rock, a geological test gives a positive result with​ 35% accuracy. If it is​ clay, this test gives a positive result with​ 48% accuracy. The test gives a​ 75% accuracy for sand.
Given the test is​ positive, what is the probability that the soil is​ clay, P(clay​ | positive)? Use​ Bayes' rule to find the indicated probability.

The tree diagram for the probability is shown below

P(Clay|Positive) is read 'Probability of Clay given the result is Positive'.

This is a case of conditional probability.

The formula for conditional probability is given as
P(Clay|Positive) = P(Clay∩Positive) ÷ P(Positive)

P(Clay∩Positive) = 0.21×0.48 = 0.1008

P(Positive) = P(Rock∩Positive) + P(Clay∩Positive) + P(Sand∩Positive)
P(Positive) = (0.53×0.53) + (0.21×0.48) + (0.26×0.75)
P(Positive) = 0.2809 + 0.1008 + 0.195
P(Positive) = 0.5767

Hence,
P(Clay|Positive) = 0.1008÷0.5767 = 0.175 (rounded to 3 decimal place)

velikii [3]

Answer:

Final result :

 x + 2

 —————

 x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   7 • 3 = 21  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  21  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -10 .

     -21    +    -1    =    -22  

     -7    +    -3    =    -10    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -7  and  -3  

                    7x2 - 7x - 3x - 3

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   7x • (x-1)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (x-1)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (7x-3)  •  (x-1)

            Which is the desired factorization

Hello everyone I need help with this worksheet it's ten problems answer the ones you know for me please it's homework.
Fed [463]

Answer:

1. Slope = -4/5

2. Slope = 2/3

3. Slope = 0

4. Slope = 3/-4

5. Slope = 7/-12

6. Slope = 1/2

7. Slope = -2/0 --> Undefined

8. Slope = 3/-2

9. Slope = 5/-4

10. Slope = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so I'm assuming that you want the slope for all the two points. Basically, the formula for slope is rise/run, or y2-y1/x2-x1. Solve using that. For example, for number 1, it would be:

10-2/1-11 = 8/-10 = -4/5
