To get to school you can travel by car, bus or bicycle. If you travel by car, there is a 50% chance you will be late because the

roads are very busy. If you travel by bus, which uses special reserved lanes and the busway, the probability of being late is only 20%. If you travel by bicycle you are only late 1% of the time.
(a) Suppose that you are late one day to class. Since your teacher does not know which mode of transportation you usually use, he assumes each of the three possibilities are equally likely. If you are late, find the probability that you travelled to school that day by car?

(b) Suppose that a friend tells your teacher that you almost always ride your bicycle to school, never take the bus, but 10% of the time travel by car. If you are late, what is the new probability that you travelled to school that day by car?

Answer:

(a) 0.704

(b) 0.8475

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let 'A' be the event that you travel by car and late

Let 'B' be the event that you travel by bus and late

Let 'C' be the event that you travel by Bicycle and late

Then, P (A)  = 50% = \frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2}

         P (B)   = 20% = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5}

         P (C)   = 1%  = \frac{1}{100}  = \frac{1}{100}

A₁ = Student travels by car

B₁ = Student travels by bus

C₁ = Student travels by bicycle

Then according to teacher P(A₁) = \frac{1}{3}, P(B₁) = \frac{1}{3}, P(C₁) = \frac{1}{3}

Now we have to find "Student is already late and traveled to school that day by car." which will be given as P(\frac{A}{L})

where L : student is late

By using Bay's Theorem :

P(\frac{A}{L})  = \frac{P(A)\times P(A_1)}{P(A)\times P(A_1)+P(B)\times P(B_1)+P(C)\times P(C_1)}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{100}\times \frac{1}{3}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{300}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{50+20+1}{300}}

= \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{300}{71}

= (\frac{50}{71})

= 0.704

(b) Here P(A₁) = (\frac{10}{100})

              P(C₁) = (\frac{90}{100})

            P(\frac{A}{L})  = We have to find and known student is late and traveled by car.

P(\frac{A}{L}) = \frac{P(A)\times P(A_1)}{P(A)\times P(A_1)+(P(C)\times P(C_1)}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{100}\times \frac{9}{10}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{20} }{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{9}{1000}}

= \frac{\frac{1}{20}}{\frac{50+9}{1000}}

= \frac{1}{20}\times \frac{1000}{59}

= (\frac{50}{59})

= 0.8475

Which correlation coefficient represents a moderate negative correlation? r = –0.04 r = –0.24 r = –0.64 r = –0.94
fomenos

The correlation coefficient is a number that indicates the direction

and closeness of points of a line of best of fit.

So it tells us two things.

It tells us the direction of the line of best fit

and it tells us the closeness of the points.

Usually, anything between -0.9 and -0.6 has a moderate negative correlation. If you look at this on a graph, you will notice that the points definitely resemble a line so we say it's moderate.

It will be a negative correlation because the slope is negative.

liubo4ka [24]
Given:
two pieces of wood that are 5 feet long each.
form a triangle with a perimeter of a whole number.
third side the triangle will be the house 

Since two sides are already of the same length, he can create an isosceles triangle. 

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles.

Assuming that the 3rd side is also 5 feet long, then, he can create an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles, measuring 60° each angle.

Which function is a horizontal compression of its parent function f(x)=x^7 by a factor of 4
evablogger [386]

Answer:

r(x)=(4x)^7


Step-by-step explanation:

  • For a horizontal compression, we multiply whole numbers greater than 1 in front of x of the given function.
  • For horizontal expansion, we multiply by the reciprocal of the number for horizontal compression, in front of x of the function.

For example,

If we wanted to <u>horizontally compress</u> y=x^2, we would multiply by 4 to get y=(4x)^2, and

if we wante to <u>horizontally expand</u> y=x^2, we would multiply by \frac{1}{4} to get y=(\frac{1}{4}x)^2


Since this question asks for horizontal compression, we multiply the x of the function by 4. So the function we need is f(x)=(4x)^7. The second choice is correct.
