all a household prosperous if its income exceeds $100,000. Call the household educated if the householder completed college. Sel

ect an American household at random, and let A be the event that the selected household is prosperous and B the event that it is educated. According to a survey, P(A) = 0.137, P(B) = 0.272, and the probability that a household is both prosperous and educated is P(A and B) = 0.082. What is the conditional probability that a household is prosperous, given that it is educated? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

A= the event that the selected household is prosperous

B= the event that the selected household is educated

P(A) =0.137, P(B) =0.272, P(A \cap B) =0.082

P(A|B)= \frac{0.082}{0.272}= 0.3015

And that represent the final answer for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the following events:

A= the event that the selected household is prosperous

B= the event that the selected household is educated

We have the following probabilities given:

P(A) =0.137, P(B) =0.272, P(A \cap B) =0.082

For this case we want to calculate the conditional probability that a household is prosperous, given that it is educated.

So this probability can be expressed as P(A|B)

Using the Bayes rule we know that:

P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

And for this case we have everything in order to replace, and we got:

P(A|B)= \frac{0.082}{0.272}= 0.3015

And that represent the final answer for this case.

Find a cubic function f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d that has a local maximum value of 3 at x = −3 and a local minimum value of 0 at
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The cubic function is f(x) = (27/32)·x  - 3/32·x³ - -9/32·x² - 9/32

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + c·x + d

By differentiation, we have;

3·a·x² + 2·b·x + c = 0

3·a·(-3)² + 2·b·(-3) + c = 0

3·a·9 - 6·b + c = 0

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a·(1)² + 2·b·(1) + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² + c·(-3) + d = -3

-27·a + 9·b - 3·c + d = -3...(1)

a + b + c + d = 0...(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) gives;

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 3

Therefore, we have;

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 0

Solving the system of equations using an Wolfram Alpha gives;

a = -3/32, b = -9/32, c = 27/32 from which we have;

a + b + c + d = 0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32) + d = 0

d = 0 - (0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32)) = -9/32

The cubic function is therefore f(x) = (-3/32)·x³ + (-9/32)·x² + (27/32)·x + (-9/32).

Fluffy, Spot and Skampy have a combined age in dog years of 91. Spot is 14 years younger than Fluffy. Skampy is 6 years older th
WITCHER [35]

Answer: fluffy = 33yrs

Spot = 19 yrs

Skampy = 39 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let fluffy = x

Spot = y

Skampy =z

x + y + z = 91 -------1

x -14 =y ------2

z = x + 6 --------3

Put eqn 2 and 3 in eqn 1

x + x - 14 + x + 6 = 91

3x = 99

x = 33

y = 33-14= 19

z = 33+6 = 39
