In Spetember of 2013, Mario The Baker introduced a new chocolate cake and hired Doug and Jeremy to bake these cakes. Every custo

mer buying this new chocolate cake either gives it a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down". Based on the data accumulated between 10/2013 and 9/2014, we know that 40% of the cakes baked by Doug gets a "thumbs up", while only 10% of those baked by Jeremy gets a "thumbs up". About 70% of the cakes are baked by Doug. One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".
1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Answer:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.

A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.

A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.

A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.

One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".

1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

P = 0.7*0.4 + 0.3*0.10 = 0.31

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.

So the probability is:

P = \frac{0.28}{0.31} = 0.9032

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Answer:

  about 9.80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  h² +5² = 7²

  h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24

  h = √24 = 2√6

This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...

  L = 2h = 2(2√6)

  L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980

The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.

svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential, of the form

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.

If the population is decreasing 3% per year, it is decreasing 100% - 3% = 97% which, as a decimal, is .97. Our exponential function, then, is

y=1200(.97)^x
