What assumptions must you make to calculate​ this? The probability that both of them go back to prison is nothing​%. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) What assumptions must you make to calculate​ this? A. The prisoners cannot be independent with regard to recidivism. B. The prisoners must be independent with regard to recidivism. C. The two prisoners cannot be selected at the same time. D. No assumptions are necessary.

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.

Would I have to subtract both numbers by 180? Helppp
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

B = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all the angles in every triangle added together equals 180°, you would divide m∠CAB (62°) by 2, giving you 31°, then add the 99° to the 31°, and you have 130°, and just by looking at it, you can see that the ∠ABD =50°

Hope this helps :)

Find the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function. (5 points) f(x) = 3x2 + 12x + 9
Kryger [21]

Considering the definition of axis of symmetry, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

<h3>Axis of symmetry</h3>

An axis of symmetry is an imaginary reference line that, when dividing any shape into two parts, its opposite points are equidistant from each other, that is, they are symmetrical.

In other words, the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the parabola into two congruent halves.

The axis of symmetry is the line perpendicular to the "x" axis that contains the vertex of the function, that is, it always passes through the vertex of the parabola. So the x-coordinate of the vertex is the equation of the axis of symmetry.

That is, in a quadratic function that has the form:

f(x)= ax² + bx + c

the axis of symmetry is a vertical line and it is defined as x=\frac{-b}{2a}.

<h3>Axis of symmetry of f(x) = 3x² + 12x + 9</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • a= 3
  • b=12
  • c=9

Replacing in the definition of axis of symmetry:

x=\frac{-12}{2x3}

Solving:

x=\frac{-12}{6}

<u><em>x= -2</em></u>

Finally, the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function f(x) = 3x²+ 12x+ 9 is x=-2.

The diameter of the base of the cone measures 8 units. The height measures 6 units. What is the volume of the cone?
Maslowich
V = \pir^2h/3

V = 3.14 x 4^2 x 6/3       (remember r is 1/2 of the diameter)
V = 3.14 x 16 x 2
V = 100.5
