Billy takes two tests in his probability and statistics class. The probability that Billy would pass at least one test is 0.9. T

he probability that he passes both tests is 0.7. The tests are of equal difficulty (that is, the probability that Billy passes test 1 is the same as the probability that he passes test 2.)
What is the conditional probability of Billy passing test 2 given the event that he passes test 1?

Answer:

0.875 is the required probability.                                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Probability Billy would pass atleast one test = 0.9

P(A\cup B) = 0.9

Probability Billy would pass both test = 0.7

P(A\cap B) = 0.7

The two test are equally difficult.

P(A) = P(B)

For independent events we can write that

P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A\cap B)\\0.9 = 2P(A) - 0.7\\2P(A) = 1.6\\P(A) = P(B)=0.8

We have to find the conditional probability that Billy passing test 2 given the event that he passes test 1.

P(B|A) = \dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)} = \dfrac{0.7}{0.8} = 0.875

0.875 is the conditional probability of Billy passing test 2 given the event that he passes test 1

Guys, I’m giving you at least 100 points for you to answer to my angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals word problem homework pac
frez [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 22: Notice the congruent symbol on sides AB and CB; this shows that the triangle is isosceles, and in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite congruent sides are congruent. Thus, angle A actually equals angle C.

In other the find B, it is know that all of the interior angles of a triangle must add to 180; thus, this can be written as: angle A + angle B + angle C = 180.

Since you already know angles A and C, subtract angle A and angle C from 180 to get angle B.

For question 23:

Notice that triangle DBC is an isosceles triangle, and that angle D and angle C are opposite of congruent sides, indicating that they are equal. Since the interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180, and you know that angle D equals angle C, you can find angle DBC by doing 180 - (2 * angle D).

Now that you have angle DBC, you can find angle CBA; since these two angles form a straight line, you know they must add to 180 degrees. Thus, 180 - angle DBC equals angle CBA.

Now, notice that triangle CBA is also isosceles, and that angles CBA and angle A are opposite congruent sides, indicating that they are also congruent. Thus, angle A equals angle CBA.

Hope this helps :)

Find the slope of the line.
pickupchik [31]
There are several ways to do this.
I'll show you two methods.

1) Pick two points on the line and use the slope formula.
Look for two points that are easy to read. It is best if the points are on grid line intersections. For example, you can see points (-4, -1) and (0, -2) are easy to read.
Now we use the slope formula.

slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Call one point (x1, y1), and call the other point (x2, y2).
Plug in the x1, x2, y1, y2 values in the formula and simplify the fraction.

Let's call point (-4, -1) point (x1, y1).
Then x1 = -4, and y1 = -1.
Let's call point (0, -2) point (x2, y2).
Then x2 = 0, and y2 = -2.

Plug in values into the formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - (-1))/(0 - (-4)) = (-2 + 1)/(0 + 4) = -1/4

The slope is -1/4

2) Pick two points on the graph and use rise over run.
The slope is equal to the rise divided by the run.
Run is how much you go up or down.
Rise is how much you go right or left.

Pick two easy to read points.
We can use the same points we used above, (-4, -1) and (-0, -2).
Start at point (0, -2).
How far up or down do you need to go to get to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 1 unit up, or +1.
The rise is +1.
Now that we went up 1, how far do you go left or right top go to point (-4, -1)?
Answer: 4 units to the left. Going left is negative, so the run is -4.
Slope = rise/run = +1/-4 = -1/4

As you can see we got the same slope using both methods.

Two pairs of statements about Jeff's housing expenditures are given below. How can both pairs of statements be true?
Irina18 [472]

Explanation:

Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.

Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.

Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.

Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
