Answer:

a) 2.9%

b) Option B is correct.

The prisoners must be independent with regard to recidivism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that one prisoner goes back to prison = 17% = 0.17

a) The probability that two prisoners released both go back to prison = 0.17 × 0.17 = 0.0289 = 2.89% = 2.9% to 1 d.p

b) The only assumption taken during the calculation is that probability of one of the prisoners going back to prison has no effect whatsoever in the probability that another prisoner goes back to prison. That is the probability that theses two events occur are totally independent of each other.

If they weren't, we wouldn't be able to use 0.17 as the probability that the other prisoner goes back to prison too.

In triangle abc, the angle c is six times as large as angle
mote1985 [20]
The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

a = 1st angle, b = 2nd angle, c = 3rd angle

c = 6a
b = a + 60
a + b + c = 180

a + (a + 60) + (6a) = 180
8a + 60 = 180
8a = 180 - 60
8a = 120
a = 120/8
a = 15 <=== here is one angle

b = a + 60
b = 15 + 60
b = 75 <=== and another one

c = 6a
c = 6(15)
c = 90 <=== and the last angle

What fraction of the dunk tanks require at least 500 gallons of water? Write the fraction in simplest form.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information observed from the attached box and whisker plot, the Fraction of dunk tanks which requires atleast 500 gallons of water. This fractional value will be the property of plot in the position marked as 500 on the plot. The point which refers to 500 gallons on the plot is the ticked point in between the box. This point represents the median value in a box and whisker plot.

The median value represents the 50th percentile value which relates to half of the distribution. This means that fraction of dunk which requires atleast 500 gallons is : (50/100) = 1/2
