Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.

Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is

x + 1125

After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that

(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)

x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500

10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500

9x = 675

x = 675/9

x = 75

Porky's current weight is

75 + 50 = 125 lbs

Kobe's current weight is

(75 + 1125) + 50

= 1250 lbs

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ONE AS WELL! I’m struggling with Transcendental Functions!

Svetach [21]

$h(x)=20e^{kx}$

a. If $h(1)=20$ , then $20=20e^k\implies e^k=1\implies k=0$ .

b. If $h(1)=40$ , then $40=20e^k\implies e^k=2\implies k=\ln2$ , so that $2k+1=2\ln2+1$ .

c. If $h(1)=10$ , then $10=20e^k\implies e^k=\dfrac12\implies k=-\ln2$ , so that $k-3=-\ln2-3$ .

Determine whether the two triangles are similar. PLEASE HELP!!

I think that it is C: PQR~XY by AA because there are only two angles that you are given ;the boxes represent 90, so each box has 90 and 62.

The prior probabilities for events A1 and A2 are P(A1) = 0.20 and P(A2) = 0.80. It is also known that P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0. Suppose P(

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a) $A_1$ and $A_2$ are indeed mutually-exclusive.

(b) $\displaystyle P(A_1\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{20}$ , whereas $\displaystyle P(A_2\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{25}$ .

(c) $\displaystyle P(B) = \frac{9}{100}$ .

(d) $\displaystyle P(A_1 \; |\; B) \approx \frac{5}{9}$ , whereas $P(A_1 \; |\; B) = \displaystyle \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

$P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0$ means that it is impossible for events $A_1$ and $A_2$ to happen at the same time. Therefore, event $A_1$ and $A_2$ are mutually-exclusive.

<h3>(b)</h3>

By the definition of conditional probability:

$\displaystyle P(B \; | \; A_1) = \frac{P(B \; \cap \; A_1)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A_1 \; \cap \; B)}{P(B)}$ .

Rearrange to obtain:

$\displaystyle P(A_1 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_1) \cdot P(A_1) = 0.25 \times 0.20 = \frac{1}{20}$ .

Similarly:

$\displaystyle P(A_2 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_2) \cdot P(A_2) = 0.80 \times 0.05 = \frac{1}{25}$ .

<h3>(c)</h3>

Note that:

$\begin{aligned}P(A_1 \; \cup \; A_2) &= P(A_1) + P(A_2) - P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0.20 + 0.80 = 1\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, $A_1$ and $A_2$ are collectively-exhaustive. Since $A_1$ and $A_2$ are collectively-exhaustive and mutually-exclusive at the same time:

$\displaystyle P(B) = P(B \; \cap \; A_1) + P(B \; \cap \; A_2) = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{9}{100}$ .

<h3>(d)</h3>

By Bayes' Theorem:

$\begin{aligned} P(A_1 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_1) \cdot P(A_1)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.25 \times 0.20}{9/100} = \frac{0.05 \times 100}{9} = \frac{5}{9}\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly:

$\begin{aligned} P(A_2 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_2) \cdot P(A_2)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.05 \times 0.80}{9/100} = \frac{0.04 \times 100}{9} = \frac{4}{9}\end{aligned}$ .
