Answer:

a) 0.8333

b) 0.75

c) 0.8181 or 0.9090

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is  

10/12 = 0.8333

b)

Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are <em>independent</em>, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is

0.8333*0.9 = 0.75

c)

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

9/11= 0.8181

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

10/11= 0.9090

8x - 9 - 5x = 3x - 36 - 18x
makkiz [27]

Answer:

8x - 9 - 5x = 3x - 36 - 18x \\ 8x - 5x - 9 = 3x - 18x - 36 \\ 3x - 9 =  - 15x - 36 \\ 3x =  - 15x - 36 + 9 \\ 3x =  - 15x - 27 \\ 3x +  - 15x =  - 27 \\  - 12x =  - 27 \\ x =  \frac{ 27}{12}

ABC has coordinates of A(-8,-8) B(4,-2) C(2,2). Find the coordinates of its image after the dilation centered at the origin with
garri49 [273]

Answer:

A' ( -12 , -12 )

B' ( 6 , -3 )

C' ( 3 , 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of a point after a dilation simply multiply the x and y values of the points by the scale factor

Points: A(-8,-8) B(4,-2) C(2,2)

Scale factor: 1.5

Coordinates after the dilation

A' = (-8,-8) --------> (-8 * 1.5 , -8 * 1.5 ) ------------> (-12 , -12)

B' = (4,-2) ---------> (4 * 1.5 , -2 * 1.5) -----------> (6 , -3 )

C' = (2 , 2) ----------> (2 * 1.5 , 2 * 1.5) -----------> (3, 3)

So inclusion the coordinates of ABC after a dilation centered at the origin with a scale factor of 1.5 are A' ( -12 , -12 ) B' ( 6 , -3 ) C' ( 3 , 3 )
