We want to determine if the probability that a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of whether the stu

dent is female. Which of the following pairs of probabilities is not a useful comparison?
a. 1360/2468 and 116/170
b. 170/2468 and 116/1360
c. 1360/2468 and 170/2468

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The data for the student enrollment at a college in Southern California is:

                    Traditional          Accelerated            Total

                  Math-pathway     Math-pathway

Female              1244                       116                   1360

Male                  1054                       54                    1108

Total                  2298                     170                  2468

We want to determine if the probability that a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of whether the student is female. Which of the following pairs of probabilities is not a useful comparison?

a. 1360/2468 and 116/170

b. 170/2468 and 116/1360

c. 1360/2468 and 170/2468

Solution:

If two events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent then:

P(A|B)=P(A)\\\\\&\\\\P(B|A)=P(B)

In this case we need to determine whether a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of the student being a female.

Consider the following probabilities:

P (F|A) = \farc{116}{170}\\\\P(A|F)=\frac{116}{1360}\\\\P(A)=\frac{170}{2468}\\\\P(F)=\frac{1360}{2468}

If the two events are independent then:

P (F|A) = P(F)

&

P (A|F) = P (A)

But what would not be a valid comparison is:

P (A) = P(F)

Thus, the correct option is (c).

Select all irrational numbers.
const2013 [10]
The answers are A and D.
The numbers that you cannot simplify without having a radical in the answer are irrational numbers. 

√(4/16) = 1/4 or -1/4, rational number
√(9/16) = 3/4 or -3/4, rational number
√(9/4) = 3/2 or -3/2, rational number

√(3/16) = √(3)/4, NOT a rational number, cannot remove radical
√(3/4) = √(3)/2, NOT a rational number, cannot remove radical

Answer:

1.08T/ (1+8/100)T

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an easier way instead of doing 0.08 of t and then adding. You can do 108% of t which immediately gives the answer.

Hope this helps:)
