Answer:

16.065

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 10 percent of 17.85 by dividing 17.85 by 10

10 / 17.85 = 1.785

then you subtract 1.785 by 17.85 to get the original price

Let the letter o represent the original price.

17.85 = o + (o*1.10)
17.85 = 2.10 * o
o = 17.85/2.10=8.5
The original price was $8.50

A child is flying a kite 145ft above the ground. The string makes an angle of 57 degrees from the child's hands. How much has be
Arturiano [62]

Answer: the length of string that been let out to fly the kite this high is 172.89 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of string attached to the kite, the vertical height of the kite above the ground and the ground distance forms a right angle triangle.

With an angle of 57 degrees, the length of the string that is attached to the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The height of the kite above the ground represents the opposite side of the triangle

To determine h, the length of the string that has been let out to fly the kite this high, we would apply the

Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sine θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 57 = 145/h

h = 145/Sin57 = 145/0.8387

h = 172.89

Yahoo creates a test to classify emails as spam or not spam based on the contained words. This test accurately identifies spam (
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume that

Spam Email be S

And, test spam positive be T

Given that

P(S) = 0.3

P(\frac{T}{S}) = 0.95

P(\frac{T}{S^c}) = 0.05

Now based on the above information, the probabilities are as follows

i. P(Spam Email) is

= P(S)

= 0.3

P(S^c) =  1 - P(S)

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

ii. P(\frac{S}{T}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T}{P(T)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{0.95 \times 0.3}{0.95 \times 0.3 + 0.05 \times 0.7}

= 0.8906

iii. P(\frac{S}{T^c}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T^c}{P(T^c)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T^c}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{(1 - 0.95)\times 0.3}{ (1 -0.95)0.95 \times 0.3 + (1 - 0.05) \times 0.7}

= 0.0221

We simply applied the above formulas so that the each part could come

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

46.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in Mrs. Verner's class = 15

Number of girls = 8

To find: percentage are boys

Solution:

Percentage of boys = ( Number of boys / Total number of students ) × 100

Number of boys = Total number of students - Number of girls = 15 - 8 = 7

So,

Percentage of boys =  × 100 = 46.7%
