Answer:

P(B|A)=0.25 , P(A|B) =0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provides the following data:

P(A)= 0.8

P(B)= 0.4

P(A∩B) = 0.2

Since the question does not mention which of the conditional probabilities need to be found out, I will show the working to calculate both of them.

To calculate the probability that event B will occur given that A has already occurred (P(B|A) is read as the probability of event B given A) can be calculated as:

P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

= (0.2) / (0.8)

P(B|A)=0.25

To calculate the probability that event A will occur given that B has already occurred (P(A|B) is read as the probability of event A given B) can be calculated as:

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

= (0.2)/(0.4)

P(A|B) =0.5

Which is true about measurements in manufacturing? POSSIBLE ANSWERS: Product quality is not affected by size. Size is not advers

GaryK [48]

Answer:

A. Product quality is not affected by size.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is true because the quality of a product is not a measure of its size, which is a quantifiable factor. This means that we can have a very small-sized product which has very good quality. Size also depends on the product being manufactured. Quality is rather measured by how good the materials used in the production are.

If inferior materials are used in the production, then the product, no matter how small or big they are, would lack quality. To obtain a good and accurate measurement, a lot of time and energy should be invested.

Find an equation of the tangent to the curve x =5+lnt, y=t2+5 at the point (5,6) by both eliminating the parameter and without e

svet-max [94.6K]

ANSWER

$y = 2x -4$

EXPLANATION

Part a)

Eliminating the parameter:

The parametric equation is

$x = 5 + ln(t)$

$y = {t}^{2} + 5$

From the first equation we make t the subject to get;

$x - 5 = ln(t)$

$t = {e}^{x - 5}$

We put it into the second equation.

$y = { ({e}^{x - 5}) }^{2} + 5$

$y = { ({e}^{2(x - 5)}) } + 5$

We differentiate to get;

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(x - 5)}$

At x=5,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{2(5 - 5)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {e}^{0} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5)$

$y = 2x - 10 + 6$

$y = 2x -4$

Without eliminating the parameter,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ 2t}{ \frac{1}{t} }$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {t}^{2}$

At x=5,

$5 = 5 + ln(t)$

$ln(t) = 0$

$t = {e}^{0} = 1$

This implies that,

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 {(1)}^{2} = 2$

The slope of the tangent is 2.

The equation of the tangent through

(5,6) is given by

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 6 = 2(x - 5) =$

$y = 2x -4$

Please help with #35 I don’t get it and I’m really stressed

skad [1K]

Don't let it get to ya. If they didn't think you're capable of answering this question, they wouldn't ask you. So they know your abilities better than you do.

We don't know the unknown number, so in order to discuss it, we have to give it some kind of a name. We could call it 'x', 'y', 'Ana, 'Q', or 'Ralph'. Let's call it 't'.

The unknown number . . . . . t

Five times the number . . . . . 5t

Nine less than five times the number . . . . . 5t - 9 . Hold on to this quantity.

Twice the number . . . . . 2t .

Three more than twice the number . . . . . 2t + 3. Hold on to this quantity too.

The question says that these two quantities are equal. So the equation is

5t - 9 = 2t + 3 . This is the equation in both choices 'c' and 'd' . I guess we'll have to solve it to find out which choice is the correct one.

The equation is . . . . . 5t - 9 = 2t + 3

Add 9 to each side . . . . . 5t = 2t + 12

Subtract 2t from each side . . . 3t = 12

Divide each side by 3 . . . . . t = 4 .

It looks like choice-d is the winner.
