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

An expression to convert 50 miles per hour to miles per minute is shown.
Nataliya [291]
Use the fact that 1 hour = 60 minutes, from which you can create your conversion factor: 1 = hour / 60 minutes. That permit you to multiply the number of miles per hour times [1 hour/60minutes] to convert 50 miles per hours to miles per minute. This is the calculation: 50 miles/hour * [1hour/60minures] = 0.833 miles / minute
