Answer:

8< 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 8 is less than 5 times a number, so we first put 8 <.

From here, we have the value 5 being multiplied by a number, that number can be any variable unless that specifically state which variable to use.

Hope this helps! :)

(Side Note: If you're talking about inequalities this should work, if not then I'm sure others will post different answers.)

allsm [11]

Answer:

1¹/₃₀

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 gallons were partially full

They contain 1/3 of a gallon and 1/5 and 1/2 of a gallon of paint.

the first is 1/3 of the gallon

the second is 1/5 of galloon

the third is 1/2 of gallon adding them together

1/3 +1/5 +1/2 = (10+6+15)/30 = 31/30 = 1¹/₃₀

Researchers have discovered a new genetic marker for a form of cancer. Twelve percent of the overall population carry this marke

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The probability that a person with the marker develops cancer is 0.0725.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the events as follows:

A = a person has cancer

B = a person carries the marker.

Given:

P (A) = 0.03

P (B) = 0.12

P (B|A) = 0.29

The conditional probability of an event X provided that another event Y has already occurred is:

$P(X|Y)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(Y)}$

Use the conditional probability formula to compute the probability that a person with the marker develops cancer.

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)} =\frac{0.29\times0.03}{0.12}=0.0725$

Thus, the probability that a person with the marker develops cancer is 0.0725.
