Answer:

P(B)= 0.305

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This exercise is an application of conditional probabilities.

You know that the definition of a conditional probability is:

P(A/B) = \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)}

And

The probability of A occuring, given that B has already ocurred is P(A/B)= 0.61

The probability of A and B ocurring at the same time is P(A∩B)= 0.5

You can clear the probability of B from the equation:

P(B)= P(A/B)*P(A∩B)= 0.61*0.5= 0.305

I hope you have a SUPER day!

Can you guys halp meh with both :(. And if you don't get one and you do the other one, Then just help me or give me (answer ;D)
Serjik [45]

Part A) Start at 0 on the number line. Count out 7 spaces (each space is 0.25 units wide) so you'll end up at 1.75 which is the total cost. The 7 spaces refer to the number of postcards purchased.

Part B) Multiply 0.25 by 7 and you should get 1.75; alternatively, you can multiply 25 by 7 to get 175, then move the decimal point 2 spots to the left to get 175 ---> 1.75

Which set of numbers could represent the side lengths of a right triangle?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:  D) 8, 15, 17

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In order for three side lengths to represent a right triangle, they must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²    where c is the largest side.

A) 2² + 3² = 4²

   4  +  9   = 16      

       13      = 16      FALSE

B) 4² + 5² = 6²

  16  + 25 = 36

       41     = 36       FALSE

C) 6² + 9² = 12²

   36 + 81 = 144

       117    = 144       FALSE

D) 8² + 15² = 17²

  64 + 225 = 289

       289    = 289     TRUE!

Raven is considering taking out a 30-year loan with monthly payments of
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If Raven's monthly payment were $125, the amount of the loan that she is considering taking out  would be less than $43,205.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about it this way it may be more simple. If the APR stays constant then a greater payment will result in a greater loan. The opposite is also true meaning a lesser payment will result in a lesser loan. If the amount Raven pays is greater than $145 then the loan will be greater than $43,205.56. If the amount she pays is less than $145 then the loan will be less than $43,205.56. Of the options, only one of these situations will be present. In my case, the correct option was a payment of $125 will result in a lesser loan than $43,205.56.
