me in assessing the qualifications of white Anglo candidates (that is, 95% of the candidates who are qualified she assesses as qualified and 95% of the candidates who are unqualified she assesses as unqualified). She is accurate only 80% of the time for candidates of color. She hires candidates (they then become employees) that she assesses as qualified. In the pool of candidates, 60% of white Anglo candidates and 60% of candidates of color are qualified.(1) what proportion of white Agnlo hirees are qualified?(2) what proportion of the person of color who are hired are qualified?

Answer:

(a) The proportion of qualified anglo candidates hired is 96.6%.

(b) The proportion of qualified persons of color candidates hired is 85.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the anglo candidates, the manager will hire two groups:

Group 1: the ones that are qualified and she assess correctly

Group 2: the ones that are not qualified but she does not assess correctly

If we consider a group of 100 Anglo candidates, 60 are qualified. The probability that they are in the Group 1 is:

P(G_1)=P(qualified=yes)*P(assess=right) = 0.6*0.95=0.57

The probability of being in Group 2 is

P(G_2)=P(qualified=no)*P(assess=wrong) =0.4*0.05= 0.02\\

The proportion of qualified anglo candidates hired is equal to the probability of being in Group 1, over the sum of the probabilities of being in Group 1 and 2:

P(qualified=yes;hired=yes)=\frac{P(G_1)}{P(G_1)+P(G_2)} =\frac{0.57}{0.57+0.02}\\ \\P(qualified=yes;hired=yes)=\frac{0.57}{0.59}= 0.966

The proportion of qualified anglo candidates hired is 96.6%.

For the people of color is the same analysis, but the probabilities of assessment are different.

Group 1: the ones that are qualified and she assess correctly

Group 2: the ones that are not qualified but she does not assess correctly

If we consider a group of 100 non-Anglo candidates, 60 are qualified. The probability that they are in the Group 1 is:

P(G_1)=P(qualified=yes)*P(assess=right) = 0.6*0.8=0.48

The probability of being in Group 2 is

P(G_2)=P(qualified=no)*P(assess=wrong) =0.4*0.2= 0.08\\

The proportion of qualified anglo candidates hired is equal to the probability of being in Group 1, over the sum of the probabilities of being in Group 1 and 2:

P(qualified=yes;hired=yes)=\frac{P(G_1)}{P(G_1)+P(G_2)} =\frac{0.48}{0.48+0.08}\\ \\P(qualified=yes;hired=yes)=\frac{0.48}{0.56}= 0.857

The proportion of qualified persons of color candidates hired is 85.7%.

Answer:

-3x^2 +7x -4

-------------------------------

(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2              3x

--------   - ----------

X^2-9    x^2 -5x+6

Factor

2                 3x

--------   -      ----------

(x-3)(x+3)   (x-3)(x-2)

Get a common denominator

2  (x-2)               3x(x+3)

--------   -             ----------

(x-3)(x+3)(x-2)   (x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

2x-4  - (3x^2 -9x)

-------------------------------

(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Distribute

2x-4  - 3x^2 +9x

-------------------------------

(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Combine like terms

-3x^2 +7x -4

-------------------------------

(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)

Rachel's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Rachel $4.30 per pound, and typ
Sergio039 [100]

Step 1

Write out the system of equations

let\text{ x represent pound of Type A coffee and y represent Type B coffee pound }\begin{gathered} 4.30x+5.9y=738.80----(1) \\ x+y=148---(2) \end{gathered}

Step 2

Find the value of one pound of type A coffee, x

\begin{gathered} From\text{ equation 2; x+y=148} \\ Therefore \\ y=148-x \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} Substitute\text{ for y in equation 1} \\ 4.30x+5.9(148-x)=738.80 \\ 4.30x+873.2-5.9x=738.80 \\ 873.2-738.80=5.9x-4.3x \\ 134.4=1.6x \\ x=84pounds \end{gathered}

Therefore the answer will be;

\begin{gathered} x+y=148 \\ 84+y=148 \\ y=64\text{ pounds} \\  \end{gathered}

The pounds of type B coffee she used is 64pounds

The pounds of type A coffee she used is 84 pounds
