Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 51% chan

ce that she will fail the course if she does not have someone to coach her. With a coach, her probability of failing decreases to 21%. There is only a 61% chance that she will find someone at such short notice.
a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

b. Christine ends up failing the course. What is the probability that she had found someone to help? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) 0.3270 = 32.70% probability that Christine fails the course

b) 0.3917 = 39.17% probability that she had found someone to help

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

61% probability that Christine find a coach.

100 - 61 = 39% probability that Christine does not find a coach.

With a coach, a 21% probability of failing.

Without a coach, a 51% probability of failing.

a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course?

21% of 61%(finds a tutor) plus 51% of 39%(does not find a tutor). So

P = 0.21*0.61 + 0.51*0.39 = 0.327.

0.327 = 32.7% probability that Christine fails the course

b. Christine ends up failing the course. What is the probability that she had found someone to help?

This can be formulated by the Bayes formula:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening given that A happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening given that B happened.

In this question.

P(B|A) is the probability of finding a tutor given that she failed.

P(B) is the probability of finding a tutor. So P(B) = 0.61.

P(A|B) is the probability of failing when finding a tutor. So P(A|B) = 0.21

P(A) is the probability of failing. So P(A) = 0.327.

So

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.61*0.21}{0.327} = 0.3917

0.3917 = 39.17% probability that she had found someone to help

What is the slope of the line defined by the parametric equations x=-2+4t and y=1+4t ?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The value of slope m = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -2 + 4t

and y = 1 + 4t

Solving the both equations

x +2 = 4t

=> t = (x+2)/4     eq(1)

y-1 = 4t

=> t = (y-1)/4      eq(2)

Putting eq(1) = eq(2) as left hand side of both equations are same

(x+2)/4 = (y-1)/4

Cross multiplying

4(x+2) = 4(y-1)

4x + 8 = 4y -4

4x +4y = -4 -8

4x + 4y = -12

4(x+y) = -12

x+y = -12/4

x+y = -3

y = -x -3

The slope intercept form of line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope. Comparing with y = -x-3

The value of slope m = -1

-7 x - 2y = -13 <br> x - 2y = 11
VashaNatasha [74]
Well the first one would convert to
-2y= 7x-13 and the second one would be -2y=-x+11 and you solve from there (lmk if you need the steps) but your final answer would be. Y= -7/2x+ 13/2 and y=1/2x - 11/2

How do you simplify this?<br>x²y+xy² / y²+2/5 × xy​​​
polet [3.4K]

\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}

  • How do you simplify this?
  • x²y+xy² / y²+2/5 × xy

\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}

\sf\frac{  { x  }^{ 2  }  y+x { y  }^{ 2  }    }{  { y  }^{ 2  }  + \frac{ 2  }{ 5  }   \times  xy  } \\

Factor the expressions that are not already factored.

_____

<u>How </u><u>to</u><u> factorise</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<u>NUMERATOR</u> \downarrow

\sf \: x ^ { 2 } y + x y ^ { 2 }

Factor out xy.

\sf \: xy\left(x+y\right)

<u>DENOMINATOR</u> \downarrow

\sf{ y  }^{ 2  }  + \frac{ 2  }{ 5  }   \times  xy \\

Factor out 1/5.

\sf \: {\frac{1}{5}y\left(2x+5y\right)}  \\

_____

Continuing...

\sf\frac{xy\left(x+y\right)}{\frac{1}{5}y\left(2x+5y\right)}  \\

Cancel out y in both the numerator and denominator.

\sf\frac{x\left(x+y\right)}{\frac{1}{5}\left(2x+5y\right)}  \\

Expand the expression.

\sf\frac{x^{2}+xy}{\frac{2}{5}x+y}  \\

This can further simplified to as \downarrow

=    \boxed{\boxed{\bf\frac{5x\left(x  +y\right)}{2x+5y}}}
