Answer:

14.72% probability that both professors get their grants funded

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

If two events, A and B are independent, the probability of both happening is:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B)

In this question:

Event A: Professor Jane is funded

Event B: Professor Joe is funded.

Professor Jane has a probability of 0.64 of being funded.

This means that P(A) = 0.64

Professor Joe has probability 0.23 of being funded.

This means that P(B) = 0.23

What is the probability that both professors get their grants funded

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.64*0.23 = 0.1472

14.72% probability that both professors get their grants funded

Illusion [34]

It is a good idea to get familiar with the operation of your calculator. If you're going to use on-line resources to work problems like this, you can make use of any of several good on-line calculators. Google and Bing search boxes will do calculations for you while observing all the rules of the Order of Operations.

The result of this computation is a number that begins 2.56.... Since the hundredths digit is more than 4, the tenths digit is rounded to the next higher value, from 5 to 6.

Rounded to tenths, 2.1√1.488 = 2.6

2.7 is greater than equal to b + 5? Solve
Semenov [28]
The answer:   - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ." 
_____________
Explanation:
_________________
Assuming we have:
_______________________
2.7 is greater than <u><em>or</em></u> equal to "(b + 5)"; 
_______________________________
We would write:
_________________
→ 2.7 ≥  b + 5  ;
_________________
→ Subtract "5" from EACH side:
_________________
→ 2.7 − 5  ≥  b + 5 − 5

→ - 2.3 ≥ b ; which does not correspond with any of the answer choices; but most closely corresponds with: "Answer choice: [B]: b > -2.3 ."

For which intervals is the function decreasing?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The function is decreasing in the following intervals

A. (0, 1)

C. (2, pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, imagine that you draw lines of slope m parallel to the function shown at each point.

-If the slope of this line parallel to the function is negative for those points then the function is decreasing.

-If the slope of this line parallel to the function is positive for those points then the function is increasing.

Observe in the lines drawn in the attached image. You can see that they have slope less than zero in the following interval:

(0, 1) U (2, pi)

Therefore the correct option is:

A. (0, 1)

C. (2, pi)
