Answer:

0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply conditional probability to solve this question.

We have Events X and Events Y

P(X) = Probability Christine fails the course = ??? Unknown

P(Y) = Probability Christine finds a tutor

= 0.35

P(Y') = Probability Christine does not find a tutor = 1 - 0.35 = 0.75

P(X|Y) = Decrease in her probability of failing = 0.35

P(X|Y') = Probability that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor

P(X) = P(X|Y) × P(Y) + P(X|Y') × P(Y')

P(X) = 0.35 × 0.75 + 0.65 × 0.35

P(X) = 0.2625 + 0.2275

P(X) = 0.49

The probability that Christine fails the course is 0.49

0.63 =<br> How do you convert this into a fraction
ohaa [14]

Answer:

63/100

Step-by-step explanation:

first, since the decimal goes to the hundredths place, you would put it into a fraction as 63/100. Then you see if you can simplify it from there. It cannot be simplified, so your answer will just be 63/100.

How do you do this? Thanks for your time and effort!
V125BC [204]
Well first you have to simplify the denominators with x, by multiplying the denominator on the left times the top and bottom of the middle, and vice versa to get 10x/(4x^2-4x)-9(2x-2)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you combine the fractions on the left to get 2(9-4x)/(4x^2-4x)=-1/4 and then you cross multiply the fractions to get 8(9-4x)=-4x^2+4x and then simplify to get 72-32x=-4x^2+4x and then 4x^2-36x+72=0 which then we can turn into 4(x-6)(x-3)=0 so x is 6 and 3
