A student answers a multiple-choice examination question that offers four possible answers. Suppose the probability that the stu

dent knows the answer to the question is 0.9 and the probability that the student will guess is 0.1. Assume that if the student guesses, the probability of selecting the correct answer is 0.25. If the student correctly answers a question, what is the probability that the student really knew the correct answer? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 0.9730

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of the answer being correct and B be the event of the knew the answer.

Given: P(A)=0.9

P(A^c)=0.1

P(B|A^{C})=0.25

If it is given that the answer is correct , then the probability that he guess the answer P(B|A)= 1

By Bayes theorem , we have

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B|A)P(A)+P(C|A^c)P(A^c)}

=\dfrac{(1)(0.9)}{(1))(0.9)+(0.25)(0.1)}\\\\=0.972972972973\approx0.9730

Hence, the student correctly answers a question, the probability that the student really knew the correct answer is 0.9730.

Pls just say how to find the right graph of the function
ElenaW [278]

The period of an function, is how many times it takes to complete one cycle, if the period is 2π then after 2π the function would have been completed one entire cycle, but what I mean by cycle?

It's when the function start again, these functions are called periodic functions for a reason, after between that interval, the function goes up, goes to 0 again, go down and finally goes zero again, it means a cycle! the function goes up, down and then return to the same point.

If you look at the picture, the function took 2π just to go up and zero, it needs more 2π to go down and return to zero, then it's period is 4π.

The bottom function complete its cycle in just π!

I hope you liked it, maybe the draw will help you!

Any doubt? just write in the comment and I'll help you.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

A : 22%

B : 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not certain about the B answer but the A I am confident in as you have to multiply the possible percentage by one another as they are co-dependent upon the outcome.

Write a real world problem involving a proportional relationship. Explain how you know the relationship is proportional
n200080 [17]
A real world example of a proportional relationship are wages.

Proportional means that Y grows as X grows, and Y shrinks as X shrinks, and when Y is zero, X is zero. The only time they have to be the same number though is at zero.

An example of this in real life is the way that people make money, wages, let's use minimum wage.
When you work 0 hours, you make $0.
Working 1 hour means you made $7.25
and working 5 hours mean you've made $36.25. It's a linear equation that starts at the origin, that means it is proportional.

Please consider giving brainliest answer and a thanks to the answers you find most helpful! :)
