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

For an angle θ, tan(θ) is a negative number. Which quadrants might θ be in?
Klio2033 [76]

So for this question, we're asked to find the quadrant in which the angle of data lies and were given to conditions were given. Sign of data is less than zero, and we're given that tangent of data is also less than zero. Now I have an acronym to remember which Trig functions air positive in each quadrant. . And in the first quadrant we have that all the trig functions are positive. In the second quadrant, we have that sign and co seeking are positive. And the third quadrant we have tangent and co tangent are positive. And in the final quadrant, Fourth Quadrant we have co sign and seeking are positive. So our first condition says the sign of data is less than zero. Of course, that means it's negative, so it cannot be quadrant one or quadrant two. It can't be those because here in Quadrant one, we have that all the trick functions air positive and the second quadrant we have that sign. If data is a positive, so we're between Squadron three and quadrant four now. The second condition says the tangent of data is also less than zero now in Quadrant three. We have that tangent of data is positive, so it cannot be quadrant three, so our r final answer is quadrant four, where co sign and seek in are positive.

Find the equation of quadratic function determined from the graph below?
Aleksandr [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are x = -1 and x = 5, so:

y = k (x + 1) (x − 5)

The vertex is (2, -3), so:

-3 = k (2 + 1) (2 − 5)

-3 = -9k

k = 1/3

y = 1/3 (x + 1) (x − 5)

Simplifying:

y = 1/3 (x² − 4x − 5)

y = 1/3 x² − 4/3 x − 5/3
