At a restaurant, 80 percent of the diners are new customers P(N)=0.8, while 20 percent are regular customers P(N’)=0.2. And, 50

percent of the new customers pay by credit card P(C|N)=0.5, in contrast, 70 percent of the regular customers make payments by credit card P(C|N’)=0.7. What is the probability that a customer is new if he/she pays by credit card, P(N|C)? Select one:
a. 0.5400
b. 0.5000
c. 0.7407
d. 0.8000

Answer:

c. 0.7404

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Bayes Formula,

P(N|C) = \frac{P(C|N)*P(N)}{P(C)}

We know every single value of that expression except P(C). We can calculate C by dividing into 2 cases: if the customer is new or not.

By the total probability theorem, we  know that P(C) = P(C|N)*P(N) + P(C|N')*P(N') = 0.5*0.8 + 0.7*0.2 = 0.4+0.14 = 0.54

We replace P(C) on the equation above and we obtain

P(N|C) = \frac{P(C|N)*P(N)}{P(C)} = \frac{0.5*0.8}{0.54} = 0.7407

Thus, P(N|C) = 0.7407. Answer c is correct

I hope this helped you!

The graph of a quadratic function has x intercepts at -3 and 5/2, and y intercept at 10. Give the function.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

  f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet can determine the equation for you.

___

Or, you can determine it yourself.

The equation can be written in the form ...

   f(x) = a(x +3)(x -5/2) . . . . . . . using the given x-intercepts

for some value of "a"

For x = 0, this must match the y-intercept.

  f(0) = a(0 +3)(0 -5/2) = 10

  -15/2·a = 10

  a = -20/15 = -4/3

So, the function can be written as ...

  f(x) = (-4/3)(x +3)(x -5/2)

or

  f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10

A construction crew is building a two story house, but they have not built the staircase between the floor yet. The height of th
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

13.4feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up forms a right triangle.

Given

Height of the staircase h = 12 feet

Base of the stairs b = 6feet

Required

Length of the ramp l

Using the pythagoras theorem

l² = h² + b²

l² = 12²+6²

l² = 144 + 36

l² = 180

l = √180

l = 13.42 feet

Hence the length of the ramp to the nearest tenth is 13.4feet

vaieri [72.5K]
This can be solve by establishing equations.
let x be the miles mrs. storey drove
y be the miles mr storey drovee
 
the first equation is
y = 3x

second equation
x + y = 3200
then substitute equation 1

x + 3x = 3200
4x = 3200
x = 800 miles mrs storey drove
y = 3x = 2400 miles mr storey drove
