Answer:

0.2915

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent water and D represent Dying probability

W = water

D = die

 

->If with water, it will die with probability 0.4

P(W & D) = 0.82 x 0.4 = 0.328

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75

P(W ' & D) = 0.18 x 0.75 = 0.135

Taking sum of the above values with water and without water.

P(D) = P(W & D) +  P(W ' & D) = 0.4643

P(W ' | D) = P(W ' & D) / P(D)

= 0.135 /0.463

= 0.2915 ≈ 29.15%

Thus, the probability the neighbor forgot to water is 0.2915

Kaitlyn drove 360 miles in 9 hours. If she continues driving at the same speed, how far will she have driven in 11 hours?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

440 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to calculate the number of miles per hour. To do this, take the total number of miles traveled and divide it by the number of hours it took. 360/9=40. This means Kaitlyn drove at 40 miles per hour. Then, we need to multiply 40 by 11 to figure out the number of miles she drove in 11 hours because her speed stayed the same. 40*11=440. This means Kaitlyn will have driven 440 miles in 11 hours.

Hope this helps! :)

Solve for x: 1 over 4 (2x − 14) = 4. 15 15 over 2 9 11
zloy xaker [14]
1/4(2x - 14) = 4....multiply both sides by 4
2x - 14 = 4 * 4
2x - 14 = 16
2x = 16 + 14
2x = 30
x = 30/2
x = 15 <==
