Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 65% chan

ce that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor. With a tutor, her probability of failing decreases to 35%. There is only a 75% chance that she will find a tutor at such short notice. a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

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

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2pi*r, where r is the radius.  Here, 7850 units = C = 2pi*r.

Dividing 7850 units by 2pi, we get
        7850 units
r  = ----------------- = 1249 units (to the nearest unit)

The area of a trapezoid is 60 square inches. One of the bases is 8 inches long. The height is 6 inches long. What is the length
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h(b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Given h = 6, b₁ = 8 and A = 60 , then

\frac{1}{2} × 6 × (8 + b₂ ) = 60 , that is

3(8 + b₂ ) = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )

8 + b₂ = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

b₂ = 12

The length of the second base is 12 inches
