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.

Write y=x^2-4x-1 in vertex form
Dvinal [7]

Answer:  y= (x+2)² − 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get  −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal  −  1x² and add to  4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.

Hope I helped

The size of the largest angle of the pentagon will be 150°.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

A pentagon is the polygon that has five sides. It should be noted that the interior angle of a regular pentagon is 540°.

The given ratio is 2:3:4:4:5. Therefore, the size of the largest angle of the pentagon will be:

= 5/(2+3+4+4+5) × 540

= 5/18 × 540

= 150°

In this case, the size of the largest angle of the pentagon will be 150°.
