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

Find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by this equation y=2x2+3-2​
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

( \frac{1}{2}, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

2x² + 3x - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × - 2 = - 4 and sum = + 3

The factors are + 4 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 4x - x - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 2) - 1 (x + 2) ← factor out (x + 2) from each term

(x + 2)(2x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

The x- intercepts are (- 2, 0 ), ( \frac{1}{2}, 0 )

Please help I asked this question earlier and nobody answered! :(​
tatiyna

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to tell is to put both equations into slope-intercept form.  That form is usually written y=mx+b where  <em>m</em>  is the slope and  <em>b</em>  is the y-intercept.

Solve the first equation for y.

6x+2y=5 \\ 2y=-6x+5 \\ y=-3x+5/2

The slope of this line is -3, and its y-intercept is 5/2.

Solve the second equation for y.

y+3x=2\\y=-3x+2

The slope of this line is -3 and its y-intercept is 2.

The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and <u>different</u> y-intercepts.  There is no solution to the system.
