In a city with one hundred taxis,1 is blue, and 99 are green. A witness observes a hit-and-run by a taxi at night and recalls th

at the taxi was blue, so the police arrest the blue taxi driver who was on duty that night.The driver pro claims his in no cence and hires you to defend him in court. You hire a scientist to test the witness' ability to distinguish blue and green taxi's under conditions similar to the night of the accident.The data suggests that the witness sees blue cars as blue 99% of the time,and green cars as blue 2% of the time.

Answer:

the probability the car was actually blue as claimed by the witness is 33.33%. This is a low percentage and thus, there is a reasonable doubt about the guilt of the client.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P(car is blue) = 1% = 0.01

P(car is green) = 99% = 0.99

P(witness said blue | car is blue) = 99% = 0.99

P(witness said blue | car is green) = 2% = 0.02

We will solve this by using Bayes’ formula for inverting conditional probabilities:

Thus;

P(car is blue | witness said blue) =

[P(witness said blue | car is blue) × P(car is blue)] / [(P(witness said blue | car is blue) × P(car is blue)) + (P(witness said blue | car is green) × P(car is green))]

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

(0.99 × 0.01)/((0.99 × 0.01) + (0.02 × 0.99)) = 0.3333

Thus, the probability the car was actually blue as claimed by the witness is 0.3333 or 33.33%

You would need to multiply the monthly cost, $14, by the number of months and then that would be added to the cost to join, $25

For 6 months it would cost 14 x 6 = 84 + 25 = $109

The answer would be C.

Find the measure of Angle A. (include and explanation so I could do the rest on my own, preferably :)
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

13) Angle A is 30°

14) Angle A is 45°

15) Angle A is 40°

16) Angle A is 40.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

By the angle sum theorem for the interior angles of a triangle, we have;

13) 130° + 2·x + 3·x = 180°

∴ 2·x + 3·x = 180° - 130° = 50°

2·x + 3·x = 5·x = 50°

x = 50°/5 = 10°

∠A = 3·x = 3 × 10° = 30°

∠A = 30°

14) 3·x + 9 + 4·x + 9 + 78° = 180°

7·x + 18 + 78° = 180°

7·x = 180° - (18 + 78)° = 180° - 96° = 84°

x = 84°/7 = 12°

∠A = 3·x + 9 = 3 × 12° + 9 = 45°

∠A = 45°

15) 90° + x + 51 + x + 61 = 180°

∴ x + 51 + x + 61 = 180° - 90° = 90°

2·x + 112 = 90°

2·x = (90 - 112)° = -22°

x = -22°/2 = -11°

x = -11°

∠A = x + 51 = -11° + 51 = 40°

∠A = 40°

16) x + 79 + x + 49 + 70° = 180°

x + x  = (180 - 70 - 79 - 48)° = -17°

2·x = -17°

x = -17°/2 = -8.5°

x = -8.5°

∠A = x + 49 = (-8.5 + 49)° = 40.5°

∠A = 40.5°.

A radio station broadcasts a signal over qn area with a radius of 50 miles. The station can relay the signal and broadcast over
denpristay [2]
A = pi * r^2 
<span>A = 3.14 * 50^2 </span>
<span>A = 7,850 square miles (area of the 50 mile broadcast signal)

A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 75^2
A = </span>17,662.5 = 17,663 square miles (area of the 75 mile relayed signal)

Now we just need to subtract the 50 mile signal from the 75 mile signal, so:

17,663 - 7,850 = <span>9,813 square miles greater


Hope this helps :)

Let's draw the diagonals of the square. The square is being divided by 4 right triangles. & these right triangles are also isosceles (the diagonals of a square intercepts each other in the middle).
The area of each right triangle = (6 x 6) / 2 = 18 yard² & the 4 right triangles => 4x 18 = 72 yd²
