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

2,826 rounded to the nearest tenth
jasenka [17]

Answer:

2,826

Step-by-step explanation:

A tenth is the first place value after the decimal point

In this case, 2,826.<u>0</u>0

To round a number to the tenths place, we look at the hundredths place

If the number is 5 or more, we add 1 to the tenths place, and leave the numbers to the right 0's

If the number is 4 or less, we keep the number as it is in the tenths place, and leave the numbers to the right 0's

In this case, the hundredths place is a 0, which is less than 4, so we keep the 0 in the tenths place, and leave the to the right 0's.

Thus, our final answer is 2,826.

A city that had 7500 thousand people at the beginning of the year 2000 has been decreasing by 3.6% per year. a. What is the 1-ye
storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) if the population at the beginning of the year 2000 was 7500 people,

The 1-year percent change in the city's population would be

3.6/100 × 7500 = 270

b) The population after 1 year is

7500 - 270 = 7230

The percentage of the previous value of the population to its new value for each year is

7230/7500 × 100 = 96.4%

c) the 1-year growth factor for the population of the city would be

(1 - 0.036)^1 = 0.964

d) the function, g that determines the population of the city (in thousands of people) in terms of the number of years t since the beginning of 2000 would be

g = 7500(1 - 0.036)^t

g = 7500(0.964)^t
