You want to go to graduate school, so you ask your math professor, Dr. Emmy Noether, for a letter of recommendation. You estimat

e that there is a 80% chance that you will get into a graduate program if you receive a strong recommendation, a 60% chance that you will get into a graduate program if you receive a moderately good recommendation, and 5% chance that you will get into a graduate program if you receive a weak recommendation. Furthermore, you estimate that the probabilities that a recommendation will be strong, moderately good, and weak are 0.7, 0.2, and 0.1, respectively. Based on these estimates, what is the probability that you will get into a graduate program. Given that you did receive an offer to attend a graduate program, what is the probability that you received a strong recommendation? Suppose you didn't receive an offer to attend a graduate program. Given that, what is the probability that you received a moderately good recommendation?

Answer:

a

  P(G) =  0.69

b

  P(S | G) = 0.81

c

  P(M|G') =  0.26

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the

   The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a strong recommendation is  P(G |S) = 0.80

   The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a moderately good recommendation is  P(G| M) =  0.60

   The probability of getting into getting into graduated school if you receive a weak recommendation is  P(G|W) =  0.05

   The probability of getting a strong recommendation is  P(S) =  0.7

     The  probability of receiving a moderately good recommendation is P(M) =  0.2

       The probability of receiving a weak recommendation is P(W) =  0.1

      Generally  the probability that you will get into a graduate program is mathematically represented as

     P(G) =  P(S) *  P(G|S) + P(M) *  P(G|M) + P(W) *  P(G|W)

=>   P(G) =  0.7 * 0.8 +  0.2 *  0.6 + 0.1 *  0.05

=>   P(G) =  0.69

Generally  given that you did receive an offer to attend a graduate program, what is the probability that you received a strong recommendation is mathematically represented as

      P( S|G) =  \frac{ P(S) *  P(G|S)}{ P(G)}

=>    P(S|G) =  \frac{ 0.7 * 0.8 }{0.69}

=>     P(S | G) = 0.81

Generally given that you didn't receive an offer to attend a graduate program  the probability that you received a moderately good recommendation is mathematically represented as

        P(M|G') =  \frac{ P(M) *  (1- P(G|M))}{(1 - P(G))}

         P(M| G') =  \frac{ 0.2 *  (1- 0.6)}{ (1 - 0.69)}

         P(M|G') =  0.26

The cost of milk is expected to raise 106% over the next year
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: about $6.90


Step-by-step explanation: 106% of 3.35

100% of 3.35 is 3.35

6% of 3.35 is 0.201

Add them together and you get 3.551

When you round to the nearest cent, you get $3.55

After add 3.55 to 3.35 and you get $6.90

If tan theta = 12/5 and cos theta < 0, what is sin theta ?
Talja [164]
1 + tan ² Ф=sec²Ф
1+(12/5)²=sec²Ф
169/25=sec² Ф
sec Ф=⁺₋√(169/25)=⁺₋13/5

sec Ф=1/cos Ф ⇒cosФ=1/sec Ф
 cos Ф>0   ⇔  sec Ф>0  ⇔  sec Ф=+ 13/5

cos Ф=1/secФ
cos Ф=1 / 13/5=5/13

we can calculate the sin Ф, with this method.
sin²Ф + cos²Ф=1  ⇒ sin Ф=⁺₋√(1-cos² Ф)
sin Ф=⁺₋√[1-(5/13)²]=⁺₋12/13
like cos Ф>0 and tan Ф>0   ⇒ sin Ф>0 ⇒sin Ф=12/13

answer: d.12/13

other method
tan Ф=sin Ф / cos Ф
12/5=sin Ф / 5/13
sin Ф=(12/5)*(5/13)=12/13

answer: d.12/13

Fill in the blanks.<br><br> (x+_)^2=x^2+14x+_
Serga [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²

In this case, a = 1, so:

14 = 2b

b = 7

(x + 7)² = x² + 14x + 49
