Answer: Choice B. Dependent; probabilities are not equal

P(picky) = 34%

P(picky | cat) = 44%

This is a vertical bar separating "picky" and "cat". It is not an uppercase letter i or lowercase letter L.

=================================================

Explanation:

There are 17 total picky eaters out of 50 pets total. The probability of randomly choosing a picky eater is

P(picky) = 17/50 = 0.34 = 34%

The notation P(picky | cat) translates to "probability of getting a picky eater given the pet is a cat". In other words, we have prior knowledge the pet is a cat. So we only focus on the cat row. We have 11 picky cats out of 25 cats total. This means

P(picky | cat) = 11/25 = 0.44 = 44%

Notice how this result is different from 34% found earlier. The fact that we have prior knowledge the pet selected is a cat changes the probability of P(picky). This means the events are dependent. If they were independent events, then P(picky) = P(picky | cat) would be true.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometric functions to find x

13.  cos 40 = 5/x

     x = 5 / cos 40

     x = 5 / 0.766

     x = 6.5

14. tan 25 = x/9

     x = 9tan 25

     x = 9(0.466)

     x = 4.2

15.- cos 65 = x/12

      x = 12 cos 65

      x = 12 (0.423)

      x = 5.1

16.- sin 32 = 15/x

      x = 15 / sin 32

      x = 15 / 0.53

      x = 28.3

17.- tan 55 = 20 / x

      x = 20 / tan 55

      x = 20 / 1.42

      x = 14

18.- sin31 = x / 18

     x = 18 sin 31

     x = 18 (0.52)

     x = 9.3

A rectangular prism has a volume 144 centimeters. The base is a square with a length of 4 cm. What is the height of the prism?
Vitek1552 [10]
The volume is the product of the height and the area of the base.
  V = Bh
The area of the square base is (4 cm)² = 16 cm², so the height can be found from
  144 cm³ = (16 cm²)h
  h = (144 cm³)/(16 cm² = 9 cm

The height of the prism is 9 cm.

A hypothetical population consists of eight individuals ages 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22, 24, & 30 years.
Alika [10]

Complete Question

A hypothetical population consists of eight individuals ages 13 14 17 20 21 22 24 30 years.  

A: what is the probability that a person in this population is a teenager?  

B: what is the probability of selecting a participant who is at least 20 years old?

We have that  probability that a person in this population is a teenager and probability of selecting a participant who is at least 20 years old is

From the question we are told

A hypothetical population consists of eight individuals ages 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22, 24, & 30 years.

  • P(T)=0.38
  • P(T')=0.63

a)

Generally the equation for the  probability that a person in this population is a teenager   is mathematically given as

P(T)=\frac{no of teens}{n}\\\\P(T)=\frac{3}{8}

P(T)=0.38

b)

Generally the equation for the probability of selecting a participant who is at least 20 years old  is mathematically given as

P(T)=\frac{ participants\ who\ is\ at\ least\ 20\ years old}{n}\\\\P(T)=\frac{5}{8}

P(T')=0.63
