Answer:    \dfrac{12}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = he known the answer then A' = he guess the answer.

B = he answered it correctly

As per given , we have

P(A)=\dfrac{3}{4}\ \ ,\ \ P(A')=\dfrac{1}{4}

P(B|A)=1

P(B|A')=\dfrac{1}{4}

By Bayes theorem , we have

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B|A)P(A)+P(B|A')P(A')}\\\\ P(A|B)=\dfrac{1\times\dfrac{3}{4}}{1\times\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{1}{4}}\\\\= \dfrac{12}{13}

The probability that the student knows the answer given that he answered it correctly is  \dfrac{12}{13} .

Answer:

0.324

0.068

Step-by-step explanation:

If Russell is 5'9" ; then he is under 6 feets :

Probability = number of forwards under 6 feets / tot number of players

Probability = 120 / 370 = 0.324

Peter is 6'2" ; Peter is over 6 feets ;

Probability that Peter is a guard = (number of guards over 6 feets / total number of players) = 25 / 370 = 0.0676 = 0.068

You make $25000 a year, and you get a 10% raise. Your new salary is $____ The next year you get a 10% cut. Your new salary is $_
gtnhenbr [62]

Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form): \$25000 \times 0.1=\$2500 . <em>$2500 is the 10% raise.</em>

Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together: \$25000+\$2500=\$27500 . <u>$27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.</u>

Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000. \$27500 \times 0.1=\$2750 . <em>$2750 is your 10% cut.</em>

Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500. \$27500-\$2750=\$24750 . <u>$24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.</u>

Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000. \frac{\$24750}{\$25000}=0.99\ \textsf{or}\ 99\% . Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is <em>not</em> how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%: 100\%-99\%=1\% . <u>Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.</u>
