Find the value of 1/3 divided by 1/2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
8 0

When dividing two fractions, it is important to know to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Reciprocal means basically a flipped fraction. 2/3 as a reciprocal is 3/2, etc.

1/3 / 1/2= 1/3 x 2/1=2/3

Return to the credit card scenario of Exercise 12 (Section 2.2), and let C be the event that the selected student has an America
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

A. P = 0.73

B. P(A∩B∩C') = 0.22

C. P(B/A) = 0.5

   P(A/B) = 0.75

D. P(A∩B/C) = 0.4

E. P(A∪B/C) = 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has a Visa card, B the event that a student has a MasterCard and C the event that a student has a American Express card. Additionally, let's call A' the event that a student hasn't a Visa card, B' the event that a student hasn't a MasterCard and C the event that a student hasn't a American Express card.

Then, with the given probabilities we can find the following probabilities:

P(A∩B∩C') = P(A∩B) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.3 - 0.08 = 0.22

Where P(A∩B∩C') is the probability that a student has a Visa card and a Master Card but doesn't have a American Express, P(A∩B) is the probability that a student has a has a Visa card and a MasterCard and P(A∩B∩C) is the probability that a student has a Visa card, a MasterCard and a American Express card. At the same way, we can find:

P(A∩C∩B') = P(A∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.15 - 0.08 = 0.07

P(B∩C∩A') = P(B∩C) - P(A∩B∩C) = 0.1 - 0.08 = 0.02

P(A∩B'∩C') = P(A) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(A∩C∩B') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.6 - 0.22 - 0.07 - 0.08 = 0.23

P(B∩A'∩C') = P(B) - P(A∩B∩C') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.4 - 0.22 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.08

P(C∩A'∩A') = P(C) - P(A∩C∩B') - P(B∩C∩A') - P(A∩B∩C)

                   = 0.2 - 0.07 - 0.02 - 0.08 = 0.03

A. the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three types of cards is calculated as:

P = P(A∩B∩C) + P(A∩B∩C') + P(A∩C∩B') + P(B∩C∩A') + P(A∩B'∩C') +              

     P(B∩A'∩C') + P(C∩A'∩A')

P = 0.08 + 0.22 + 0.07 + 0.02 + 0.23 + 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.73

B. The probability that the selected student has both a Visa card and a MasterCard but not an American Express card can be written as P(A∩B∩C') and it is equal to 0.22

C. P(B/A) is the probability that a student has a MasterCard given that he has a Visa Card. it is calculated as:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)

So, replacing values, we get:

P(B/A) = 0.3/0.6 = 0.5

At the same way, P(A/B) is the probability that a  student has a Visa Card given that he has a MasterCard. it is calculated as:

P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) = 0.3/0.4 = 0.75

D. If a selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he also has both a Visa card and a MasterCard is  written as P(A∩B/C), so it is calculated as:

P(A∩B/C) = P(A∩B∩C)/P(C) = 0.08/0.2 = 0.4

E. If a the selected student has an American Express card, the probability that she or he has at least one of the other two types of cards is written as P(A∪B/C) and it is calculated as:

P(A∪B/C) = P(A∪B∩C)/P(C)

Where P(A∪B∩C) = P(A∩B∩C)+P(B∩C∩A')+P(A∩C∩B')

So, P(A∪B∩C) = 0.08 + 0.07 + 0.02 = 0.17

Finally, P(A∪B/C) is:

P(A∪B/C) = 0.17/0.2 =0.85

19. A quadratic equation is shown below.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

\{\sqrt b, -\sqrt b\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a^2 - b = 0

Required

Determine the solution

Since b is  a perfect square, the equation can be expressed as:

a^2 - (\sqrt b)^2 = 0

Apply difference of two squares:

(a - \sqrt b)(a + \sqrt b) = 0

Split:

(a - \sqrt b)= 0 \ or\ (a + \sqrt b) = 0

Remove brackets:

a - \sqrt b= 0 \ or\ a + \sqrt b = 0

Make a the subject in both equations

a =\sqrt b \ or\ a  =-\sqrt b

The solution can be represented as:

\{\sqrt b, -\sqrt b\}

4. The sum of iwo numbers is 36. Twice the first
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

  14 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the first number, then 36-x is the second. We are told that ...

  2x -(36-x) = 6 . . . . twice the first less the second is 6

  3x = 42 . . . . . . . . . add 36

  x = 14

  (36 -x) = 22

The numbers are 14 and 22.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

6 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 42 will lie between 36 and 49

And 36=6; 49=7

so we can be sure that 42 lies between 6 and 7
