Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 40% chan

ce that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor. With a tutor, her probability of failing decreases to 10%. There is only a 50% chance that she will find a tutor at such short notice.

Answer:

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 50% probability that Christine finds a tutor.

With a tutor, she has a 10% probability of failling.

A 50% probability that Christine does not find a tutor.

Without a tutor, she has a 40% probability of failing.

Probability that she fails:

10% of 50%(fail with a tutor) plus 40% of 50%(fail without a tutor). So

P = 0.1*0.5 + 0.4*0.5 = 0.25

There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.

6. An urn contains 15 red balls and 8 blue balls. In each draw, one ball is extracted at random. It is then returned to the urn,
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

P(C4) = 0.0711

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the first draw = 15/23  since it cannot be a blue ball

The second draw = 21/29 since 6 more red balls will be added after the draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

the third draw = 27/35 since 6 more red balls will be added after each draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

therefore the total number of red balls will be = 15 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 33 red balls after the 4th draw. the total ball now in the urn= 33 red + 4 blue = 41

Hence the probability of drawing a blue ball at the fourth draw after drawing red balls at the previous attempts = 8/41

P(C4) = P ( fourth ball is blue ) * P( first ball red)*P(second ball red) *P(third ball red )

= (8/41) * (15/23) * (21/29)* (27/35) = 0.0711

Which function has a vertex on the y-axis? f(x) = (x – 2)2 f(x) = x(x 2) f(x) = (x – 2)(x 2) f(x) = (x 1)(x – 2)
makvit [3.9K]

The function that has a vertex on the y-axis is f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

<h3>How to determine the function?</h3>

For a function to have its vertex on the y-axis, then the coordinate of the vertex must be:

(h,k) = (0,y)

A quadratic function is represented as:

f(x) = (x - h)^2 + k

So, we have:

f(x) = (x - 0)^2 + k

Evaluate

f(x) = x^2 + k

From the list of options, we have:

f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

Expand

f(x) = x^2 - 4

Hence, the function that has a vertex on the y-axis is f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)

What is the quotient of 5 7 ÷ 5 14 ?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

<h2><u>=</u> <u>   57 / 514  </u>    <u>(Decimal: 0.110895)</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

57 / 514

<u>=   57 / 514 </u>

<u>(Decimal: 0.110895)</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>And if that is not what you are looking for here: </u></h2><h2><u></u></h2>

Rewrite the equation as  

x /14 =  5/ 7 .  x/ 14 =  5/ 7

Multiply both sides of the equation by  

14.14  ⋅  x /14 =  14 ⋅ 5 /7

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Tap for fewer steps...

Cancel the common factor of  14 .  

Cancel the common factor.

14 ⋅  x /14 =  14 ⋅ 5 /7

Rewrite the expression.

x = 14 ⋅ 5 /7

Simplify  14 ⋅  5/ 7 .

Cancel the common factor of  7 .

Factor  7  out of  14 .

x = 7 ( 2 ) ⋅ 5/ 7

Cancel the common factor.

x = 7 ⋅  2 ⋅  5/ 7

Rewrite the expression.

x  = 2 ⋅ 5

Multiply  2  by  5 .

<u>x = 10</u>

What is the Quotient of 1 and 2/3 divided by 2 and 3/5
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  25/39

Step-by-step explanation:

For division of mixed numbers, it often works well to first convert them to improper fractions. Then the division proceeds in the usual way: "invert and multiply", or "dot, swap."

__

  1\dfrac{2}{3}\div2\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\div\dfrac{13}{5}=\dfrac{5}{3}\cdot\dfrac{5}{13}\\\\=\dfrac{5\cdot5}{3\cdot13}=\boxed{\dfrac{25}{39}}

Determine the exact and approximate circumference of the circle.
madam [21]

Answer:

C (circumference) =2×π×r

we've got a 30-60-90 triangle

which means 9=d√3, d=5.19 exact inches

or ≈5.20 inches

d=2r, r=5.20÷2≈2.60 inches

C=2×3.14×2.60≈16.328
