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

Right triangles abc and dbc with right angle c are given below. If cos(a)=15,ab=12 and cd=2, find the length of bd.
dmitriy555 [2]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have that

cos(A)=\frac{1}{5} \\ AB=12\ units\\ CD=2\ units

Step 1

<u>Find the value of AC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

cos (A)=(AC/AB)\\AC=AB*cos(A)

substitute the values in the formula

AC=12*(1/5)\\ AC=2.4\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of BC</u>

we know that

in the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^{2} =AC^{2}+BC^{2}\\ BC^{2}=AB^{2} -AC^{2}

substitute the values

BC^{2}=12^{2} -2.4^{2}\\BC^{2}= 138.24\\ BC=11.76\ units

Step 3  

<u>Find the value of BD</u>

we know that

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BD^{2} =DC^{2}+BC^{2}

substitute the values  

BD^{2} =2^{2}+11.76^{2}

BD=11.93\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of BD is 11.93 units

The sum of two consecutive integers is 91. Find the integers.
Reil [10]

Answer:

Let the smaller integer be x and greater integer be (x+1)

x+(x+1)=91

2x+1=91

2x=91-1=90

x=90/2

x=45

We have seen that isosceles triangles have two sides of equal length. The angles opposite these sides have the same measure. Use
Naddik [55]

Question has missing figure, the figure is in the attachment.

Answer:

The measure of ∠1 is 65°.

The measure of ∠2 is 65°.

The measure of ∠3 is 50°.

The measure of ∠4 is 115°.

The measure of ∠5 is 65°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

We have an isosceles triangle which we can named it as ΔABC.

In which Length of AB is equal to length of BC.

And also m∠B is equal to m∠C.

ext.m∠C= 115°(Here ext. stands for exterior)

We have to find the measure of angles angles 1 through 5.

Solution,

For ∠1.

∠1 and ext.∠C makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle1+ext.\angle C=180\°

On putting the values, we get;

\angle 1+115\°=180\°\\\\\angle1=180\[tex]\therefore m\angle2=65\°-115\°=65\°[/tex]

Thus the measure of ∠1 is 65°.

For ∠2.

Since the given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

So, m\angle1=m\angle2

Thus the measure of ∠2 is 65°.

For ∠3.

Here ∠1, ∠2 and ∠3 are the three angles of the triangle.

So we use the angle sum property of triangle, which states that;

"The sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°".

\therefore \angle1+\angle2+\angle3=180\°

Now we put the values and get;

65\°+65\°+\angle3=180\°\\\\130\°+\angle3=180\°\\\\\angle3=180\°-130\°=50\°

Thus the measure of ∠3 is 50°.

For ∠4.

∠4 and ∠2 makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle2 +\angle 4 =180\°

Substituting the values of of angle 2 to find angle 4 we get;

65\°+ \angle 4 = 180\°\\\\ \angle 4 = 180\°-65\°\\\\\angle 4= 115\°

Thus the measure of ∠4 is 115°.

For ∠5.

∠4 and ∠5 makes straight angle, and we know that the measure of straight angle is 180°.

So, we can frame this in equation form as;

\angle4 +\angle 5 =180\°

Substituting the values of of angle 4 to find angle 5 we get;

115\°+ \angle 5 = 180\°\\\\ \angle 5 = 180\°-115\°\\\\\angle 5= 65\°

Thus the measure of ∠5 is 65°.

Hence:

The measure of ∠1 is 65°.

The measure of ∠2 is 65°.

The measure of ∠3 is 50°.

The measure of ∠4 is 115°.

The measure of ∠5 is 65°.
