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

Check the picture below.

the triangle is an isosceles, so it has twin legs, and a base bottom.

the twin sides stem from the "vertex", and we know the vertex is 120°, and since the triangle is inscribed in a circle, because the circle is "circumscribing" it, then the base side of the triangle will be the diameter of it.

if we run a perpendicular line to the base from the vertex, we'll split the vertex in two 60° angles, as you see there, giving us a 30-60-90 triangle on each side.

so, anyhow, the rest is just a matter of using the 30-60-90 rule.

that's the diameter, and as you know, the radius is just the length of the base, or half the diameter.

Please I NEED HELP HURRY The quotient of six and a number subtracted from 100 Question A 100 - 6/x Question B 6/x - 100 Question
jasenka [17]

For this case we have that the quotient of 6 and a number, can be expressed as:

\frac {6} {x}

Where the variable "x" represents the incognito number.

Now we have that expression is subtracted from 100. Now, we can write the following:

100- \frac {6} {x}
