Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The trick is to find the third angle
180 - A - <BCA = <CBA
180 - X - <BCX = <CBX
Everything else is OK
<CBA = <CBX Equals equated to an equal express = an equal expression.
Now by a little slight of hand, you get the two triangles to be equal by ASA, which always works.
Cheating you say? There is no such thing as cheating if it correct and it works.
Alright, so in order to solve this, we need to isolate the variable. So, we need to simplify the equation. So, we have the equation:
82•P = 84
So, we need to divide both sides by 82 because it is the opposite of multiplication. So, we have :
82•P/82 = 84/82
So, 82•P/82 = 1p = P.
84/82 = P
If You Need Decimal Form,
84/82 = About 1.02
Answer: 0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
Heavy smoker = 20%
Light smoker = 30%
Non smokers = 50%
We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.
Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:
= 2 × y = 2y
Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y
The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:
Non smoker:
= 50% × y
= 0.5 × y
= 0.5y
Light smoker:
= 30% × 2y
= 0.3 × 2y.
= 0.6y
Heavy smoker:
= 20% × 4y.
= 0.2 × 4y
= 0.8y
Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y
The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:
= 0.8y/1.9y
= 0.421
Answer: $9.00
