Answer: choice B

Step-by-step explanation:

Events A and B are independent if the equation P(B)=P(B|A) or P(A∩B) = P(A) · P(B) holds true.

in this example

p(A)=1/6 {5}

p(B)=1/2 {1,3,5}

P(B|A)=1

P(B)≠P(B|A)

therefore A and B are dependent.

In answering on a multiple choice test, a student either know the answer or guesses. Let p be the probability that the students

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$P(A_{1}|B ) =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For mutually exclusive events as A1, A2, A3, etc, Bayes' theorem states:

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$

P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event A occurring given that B is true.

P(B|A) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event B occurring given that A is true.

P(A) is the probability that A occurs

P(B) is the probability that B occurs

For this problem:

A1 is the probability that the student knows the answer

A2 is the probability that the student guesses the answer

B is the probability that the student answer correctly

$P(A_{1})=p \\P(A_{2})=1-p \\P(B|A_{1})=1 \\P(B|A_{2})=\frac{1}{m} \\P(B)= P(A_{1})P(B|A_{1}) + P(A_{2})P(B|A_{2})= p+\frac{1-p}{m} \\$

P(B|A₁) means the probability that the answer is correct when he knew the answer

P(B|A₂) means the probability that the answer is correct when he guessed the answer

P(A₁|B) means the probability that he knew the answer when the answer was correct

Replacing everything in the Bayes' theorem you get:

$P(A_{1}|B)= \frac{P(B|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(B)}=\frac{(1)(p)}{p+\frac{1-p}{m}} =\frac{mp}{mp+1-p} =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Find local maximum minimum and saddle points f(x,y)=xy-2x-x^2

saveliy_v [14]

To find such critical points, you have to differentiate the function and let the derivative equal zero. Since this function is y written in terms of x, but implicitly, you must use implicit differentiation. Do you know how to do that?
