In answering a question on a multiple-choice test, a student either knows the correct answer or guesses it. Let 0.7 be the proba

bility that the student knows the answer, and 0.3 be the probability that the student is guessing. Assume that a student who guesses the answer will be correct with probability 0.2. What is the probability that a student knows the answer to a question, given that she answered it correctly?

Answer:

The probability is 0.9211

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call K the event that the student know the answer, G the event that the student guess the answer and C the event that the answer is correct.

So, the probability P(K/C) that a student knows the answer to a question, given that she answered it correctly is:

P(K/C)=P(K∩C)/P(C)

Where P(C) = P(K∩C) + P(G∩C)

Then, the probability P(K∩C) that the student know the answer and it is correct is:

P(K∩C) = 0.7

On the other hand, the probability P(G∩C) that the student guess the answer and it is correct is:

P(G∩C) = 0.3*0.2 = 0.06

Because, 0.3 is the probability that the student guess the answer and 0.2 is the probability that the answer is correct given that the student guess the answer.

Therefore, The probability P(C) that the answer is correct is:

P(C) = 0.7 + 0.06 = 0.76

Finally, P(K/C) is:

P(K/C) = 0.7/0.76 = 0.9211

Solve. 3x2 − 6x = 24 A) x = 2, x = 4 B) x = 3, x = 4 C) x = −2, x = 4 D) x = −4, x = 3
Oduvanchick [21]
<span> 3x^2 − 6x = 24
</span>3x^2 − 6x - 24 = 0
3(x^2 - 2x - 8) = 0
3(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
x - 4 = 0; x = 4
x + 2 =0; x = -2

answer
<span>C) x = −2, x = 4</span>

Fill in the blanks<br>864+2006=--------+864<br><br>5351 +(574+799)= 574+(5351+_____)​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

2006

799

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

The right hand side of the sun must be equal to the left hand side ;

Therefore ;

864+2006=--------+864

The sum of 864 and 2006 must be equal to the right hand side sum ; hence

864+2006= 2006 +864

Similarly, the left hand side and right havd side must also be equal here ;

5351 + 574 + 799 = 574 + 5351 + 799

Hence, the missing value is 799
