Answer:

A- 0.125

B- Success of climbing mount Everest is independent of age.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Let x denote success in climbing Mount Everest

Let y denote the climber is at least 60 years old.

Therefore,

P(x) = 0.31

P(y) = 0.04

P( x ∩ y) = 0.005

Probability of success when the climber is at least 60 years old =

P( x ∩ y) ÷ P(y) = 0.005 ÷ 0.04 = 0.125.

B.

The success rate is independent of age as there are both success and failure rates across board on the scale of ages of climbers.

Solve this system of equations: X=? Y=? ( JUST WRITE THE NUMBER ANSWERS WITH A COMMA BETWEEN THEM)
hjlf

Answer:

Therefore the Final Solution is

x = 2 and y = 4

( 2 , 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y=2x                ...............Equation ( 1 )

x=-y+6         ................Equation ( 2 )

To Find:

x = ?

y = ?

Solution:

Substitute Equation  ( 1 ) in Equation ( 2 ) we get

x=-2x+6\\\\3x=6\\\\3x=6\\\\x=\frac{6}{3} \\\\\therefore x =2

Now Substituting x = 2 in Equation ( 1 ) we get

y =2\times 2\\\\\therefore y=4

Therefore the Final Solution is

x = 2 and y = 4

( 2 , 4 )
