Of all college degrees awarded in the United States, 50 % 50% are bachelor's degrees, 59 % 59% are earned by women, and 29 % 29%

are bachelor's degrees earned by women. Let P ( B ) P(B) represent the probability that a randomly selected college degree is a bachelor's degree, and let P ( W ) P(W) represent the probability that a randomly selected college degree was earned by a woman. What is the conditional probability that a degree is earned by a woman, given that the degree is a bachelor's degree? Please round your answer to the two decimal places.

Answer:

P(B|W)=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that P(B)=0.5,P(B)=0.59 AND P(W)=0.29-Conditional probability is defined as the probability of one event occurring with relationship with one or more other events.

P(B|W)=\frac{P(W)\times P(B)}{P(W)}\\\\=\frac{0.50\times0.29}{0.29}\\\\=0.5

Hence, the conditional probability that a degree is earned by a woman, given that the degree is a bachelor's degree is 0.5

the sum of two numbers is 123. when the larger number is added to 5 times the smaller, the sum is 343. find the numbers.​
vovikov84 [41]
Create a system of equations
x + y = 123
5x + y = 343

I use substitution
y = 123 - x
5x + 123 - x = 343
4x + 123 = 343
4x = 220
x = 55

Plug in
x + y = 123
55 + y = 123
y = 68

Check
5x + y = 343
5(55) + 68 = 343
275 + 68 = 343
343 = 343

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

icecream = $2.99

donut = $1.19

creamcake = $4.99

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture shows $7.17 for 2 x ice-cream and 1 donut

We are given 3 cream cakes that total 14.97 we divide by 3 = 4.99

9.17- 4.99=4.18

=5.37-4.18 =1.19

we can then fill out the boxes.

1.19 +1.19 = 2.38 = 5.37-2.38= £2.99

2.99 +2.99 +1.19 = $7.17

We can see total first two rows = $12.56

2.99+2.99+2.99 +1.19 +1.19+1.19 = $12.56

Answer:

y = -2^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation of a function is in the form of y = h(x)

When the graph of this function is reflected across x-axis,

Transformed function will be,

y = -h(x)

Further reflected across y-axis, then the transformed function will be,

y = -h(-x)

By this rule,

Given equation when reflected across x-axis,

y = -(\frac{1}{2})^{x}

Further reflected across y-axis,

y = -(\frac{1}{2})^{-x}

y = -(2^{-1})^x

y = -2^x
