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.

Find the inverse of the function. f(x) = 7x + 8
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

\frac{x-8}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to find the inverse function is to swap the x and y (f(x)) in the equation.

y = 7x + 8\\x = 7y + 8\\x-8 = 7y\\y = \frac{x-8}{7}

We can check that it is an inverse function by using a property of inverse functions:

f(g(x)) = x

If we plug in the f(x) function into the variable x of the inverse function, we should end up with x

y = \frac{(7x + 8) - 8}{7}\\y = \frac{7x}{7} \\y = x\\

It checks out!

These two triangles are similar .Find side lengths a and b .The two figures are not drawn to scale
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a = 6, b = 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

One triangle is 2.5 times bigger than the other.

9*2.5=22.5 which means b = 22.5

15/2.5=6 which means a = 6
