Answer:

The correct option is d) 0.0253

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

When two events, X and Y, are dependent, then the probability of both occurring is: P(X \cap Y)  =  P(X) \cdot P(Y|X)

All plan to attend college some time; however, 77% plan to go to college immediately following high school.

Let X represents the Plan to go to college.

P(X) = 0.77

P(X') = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23

Of those who plan to attend college immediately following high school, 18% plan to major in Math. Of those who do not plan to attend college immediately following high school, 11% plan to major in Math.

Let Y represents Major in Math.

P(Y|X) = 0.18 and P(Y|X') = 0.11

Therefore the required probability is:

P(X'\cap Y) = P(X')P(Y|X') \\P(X'\cap Y)= 0.11\times 0.23 = 0.0253

Hence, the correct option is d) 0.0253

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

y-5=11

y-5+5=11+5 (Add 5 to both sides)

y=16 (Simplify)

I believe that y=16 cannot be simplified so y=16 should be the answer let me know if it helped.

The cost of an uber ride, y, based on miles, x is represented by y = 2/3x + 4. How much does a 21-mile ride cost ?
dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the Uber ride be represented by y in dollars.

Let the number of miles that the Uber rides be represented by x.

The equation relating x and y is expressed as

y = 2/3x + 4.

This is a slope intercept form equation. The slope is 2/3 and it represents the cost per mile.

The cost of a 21 mile ride will be

Substituting x = 21 into the given equation, it becomes

y = 2/3 × 21 + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18

The 21 mile ride costs $18

Part B) The $46 ride will cost

Substituting y = 46 into the given equation, it becomes

46 = 2x/3 + 4 =

46 - 4 = 2x/3

42 = 2x/3

2x = 42 × 3 = 126

x = 126/2 = 63

The $46 ride will be 63 miles
