Answer:
15.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 marbles in total and there are 5 red marbles, so the probability of getting a red marble is 5/12. There are now 11 marbles and there are 4 blue marbles. So the probability of getting a blue marble is 4/11.
You multiply these 2 values together.
5/12 * 4/11 = 20/132 = 0.1515
This is about 15.2%
Answer: 0.51
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a conditional probability. The first event is the airplane accident being caused by structural failure. The probability of it being due to structural failure is 0.3 and the probability of it not being due to structural failure is 0.7. The second event involves the diagnosis of the event. If a plane fails due to structural failure, the probability that it will be diagnosed and the results will say it was due to structural failure is 0.85, and the probability that the diagnosis is unable to identify that it was because of a structural failure is 0.15. If the plane were to fail as a result of some other reason aside structural failure, the probability that the diagnosis will show that it was as a result of structural failure is 0.35 and the probability of the diagnosis showing that is is not as a result of structural failure is 0.65. To find the probability that an airplane failed due to structural failure given that it was diagnosed that it failed due to some malfunction, this is the equation;
p = (probability of plane failing and diagnosis reporting that the failure was due to structural failure)/ (probability of diagnosis reporting that failure was due to structural failure)
p = (0.3*0.85)/((0.3*0.85) + (0.7*0.35))
p = 0.51
Let's represent the two numbers by x and y. Then xy=60. The smaller number here is x=y-7.
Then (y-7)y=60, or y^2 - 7y - 60 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to (1) determine whether y has real values and (2) to determine those values if they are real:
discriminant = b^2 - 4ac; here the discriminant is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(-60) = 191. Because the discriminant is positive, this equation has two real, unequal roots, which are
-(-7) + sqrt(191)
y = -------------------------
-2(1)
and
-(-7) - sqrt(191)
y = ------------------------- = 3.41 (approximately)
-2(1)
Unfortunately, this doesn't make sense, since the LCM of two numbers is generally an integer.
Try thinking this way: If the LCM is 60, then xy = 60. What would happen if x=5 and y=12? Is xy = 60? Yes. Is 5 seven less than 12? Yes.
Answer:
6.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the mean of the set {2,5,5,6,8,8,9,11} .
There are 8 numbers in the set. Add them all, and then divide by 8 .
2 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 118=548=6.75
