Over 1,000 people try to climb Mt. Everest every year. Of those who try to climb Everest, 31 percent succeed. The probability th

at a climber is at least 60 years old is 0.04. The probability that a climber is at least 60 years old and succeeds in climbing Everest is 0.005.
a. Find the probability of success, given that a climber is at least 60 years old.
b. Is success in climbing Everest independent of age?

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.

tester [92]

\bold{\boxed{\huge{\blue{\underline{Answer }}}}}

\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

\sf{The\: population\: is\: decreased \:by\: 10 percent  }

\sf{There\: were \: only \: 1800 \: people \: left}

\bold{\underline{ To\: Find :- }}

\sf{we \: have \: to \: find\: original \: population? }

\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin :- }}

\sf{Let \: the \: total \:  population\: be \: x }

\sf{\underline{ Therefore }}

\sf{According \: to \: the \: question }

\sf{ x - 10/100 = 1800 }

\sf{ 100x - 10/100 = 1800}

\sf{ 100x - 10 = 1800 × 100}

\sf{100x - 10 = 180000}

\sf{ 100x = 180000 + 10}

\sf{ x = 180010/100}

\sf{ x = 1800.1 }

\bold{\pink{Hence , The\: original \:population \:of \: the\: village \:is \:1800.1 }}

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

4Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a sine or cosine function,

y = acos(b(x+c))

where a is the amplitude, b is the value to find the period. and c is the phase shift.

Period = \frac{2\pi}{b}

From the equation given in the question,

y = 3cos(8\pi \: t +  \frac{\pi}{2} ) \\ y = 3cos(8\pi(t +  \frac{1}{16} )) \:  \: (factorising \: 8\pi \: out)

We can see:

Amplitude = 3,

Period = \frac{2\pi}{8\pi} = 1 / 4

Phase Shift = 1 / 16

Now we want to find the frequency.

Frequency = 1 / Period

= 1 / (1/4)

= 4Hz

What is the scale factor of the dilation
Marizza181 [45]
Looking at how the image shrinked from the original, you can assume that the scale would be a fraction. Since they remained negative, then the fraction wouldn't contain a negative. Therefore the answer would be C.
