You ask a neighbor to water a sickly plant while you are on vacation. Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75. Wi

th water it will die with probability 0.4. You are 82 % certain the neighbor will remember to water the plant. You come back from the vacation and the plant is dead. What is the probability the neighbor forgot to water it?

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

PLEEAASEE HELP!!! Suppose Q and R are independent events. Find P(Q and R) if P(Q) = 4/5 and P(R) = 4/11.
kari74 [83]
The answer is C. 16/55 because P(Q and R) = P (Q) . P (R) (for independent events Q and R) 

So, the prob. is 4/5 * 4/11 = 16/55 = D.

A house was purchased for $89,000. After 6 years the value of the house was $101,000. Find a linear equation that models the val
mamaluj [8]

Answer:  y = 2000x + 89000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

initial purchase amount = $89,000

price after 6 years = $ 101,000

years = 6

now

slope = ( 101000 - 89000) / 6

slope = 12000 / 6

slope = 2000

therefore the linear equation that models the value of the house after x years will be;

y = 2000x + 89000

Dilate the trapezoid using center (-3,4) and scale factor 1/2.
pochemuha

The coordinates of the vertices of the image of the trapezoid are given as;

A'(x, y) = (- 4, 1), B'(x, y) = (- 2, 1), C'(x, y) = (- 5 / 2, 5 / 2) , D'(x, y) = (- 7 / 2, 5 / 2).

<h3>How to find the image of a trapezoid by dilation?</h3>

In this question we have a representation of a trapezoid, whose image has to be generated by a kind of rigid transformation known as dilation, whose equation is described :

P'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [P(x, y) - O(x, y)]

Where O(x, y) - Center of dilation

k - Scale factor

And P(x, y) - Coordinates of the original point, P'(x, y) - Coordinates of the resulting point.

Since k = 1 / 2, A(x, y) = (- 5, - 2), B(x, y) = (- 1, - 2), C(x, y) = (- 2, 1), D(x, y) = (- 4, 1), O(x, y) = (- 3, 4),

Therefore, the coordinates of the vertices of the image are:

Point A'

A'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [A(x, y) - O(x, y)]

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 5, - 2) - (- 3, 4)]

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  (- 2, - 6)

A'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (- 1, - 3)

A'(x, y) = (- 4, 1)

Point B';

B'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k [B(x, y) - O(x, y)]

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 1, - 2) - (- 3, 4)]

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  (2, - 6)

B'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1, - 3)

B'(x, y) = (- 2, 1)

Point C';

C'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k · [C(x, y) - O(x, y)]

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2)  [(- 2, 1) - (- 3, 4)]

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) (1, - 3)

C'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2, - 3 / 2)

C'(x, y) = (- 5 / 2, 5 / 2)

Point D'

D'(x, y) = O(x, y) + k  [D(x, y) - O(x, y)]

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) [(- 4, 1) - (- 3, 4)]

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (1 / 2) (- 1, - 3)

D'(x, y) = (- 3, 4) + (- 1 / 2, - 3 / 2)

D'(x, y) = (- 7 / 2, 5 / 2)
