Answer:

(a) The probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b) The probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c) The probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Of the entering class at a college, 71% attended public high school, 21% attended private high school, and 8% were home schooled. Of those who attended public high school, 16% made the Dean's list, 19% of those who attended private high school made the Dean's list, and 15% of those who were home schooled made the Dean's list.

a) Find the probability that the student made the Dean's list.

b) Find the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list.

c) Find the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list.

Solution:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>A</em> = a student attended public high school

<em>B</em> = a student attended private high school

<em>C</em> = a student was home schooled

<em>D</em> = a student made the Dean's list

The provided information is as follows:

P (A) = 0.71

P (B) = 0.21

P (C) = 0.08

P (D|A) = 0.16

P (D|B) = 0.19

P (D|C) = 0.15

(a)

The law of total probability states that:

P(X)=\sum\limits_{i} P(X|Y_{i})\cdot P(Y_{i})

Compute the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list as follows:

P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|C)P(C)

         =(0.16\times 0.71)+(0.19\times 0.21)+(0.15\times 0.08)\\=0.1136+0.0399+0.012\\=0.1655

Thus, the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b)

Compute the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D)}

             =\frac{0.21\times 0.19}{0.1655}\\\\=0.2410876\\\\\approx 0.2411

Thus, the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c)

Compute the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list as follows:

P(C^{c}|D^{c})=1-P(C|D^{c})

               =1-\frac{P(D^{c}|C)P(C)}{P(D^{c})}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-P(D|C))\times P(C)}{1-P(D)}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-0.15)\times 0.08}{(1-0.1655)}\\\\=1-0.0815\\\\=0.9185

Thus, the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

If pencils sell at 6 for 59 cents how many pencils can be bought for 2.95
Olegator [25]
We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
                           = 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
                                                                       = 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
                                                                                                   = 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.

Answer:

Y=4 X= -6 or (-6,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so

3x+10y=22

-3x-8y=-14

  1. basically, it's like one big equation. First, subtract 3x from -3x which cancels out and gives us 0
  2. 10y minus 8y gives us 2y.
  3. 22 minus 14 gives us 8

3x+10y=22

<u>-3x-8y=-14</u>

0+2y=8

Now that we have this, we can solve for y. in order to do this, we have to divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2y}{2}  =  \frac{8}{2}

From here we know that y=4 because the 2s cancel out leaving y and 8 divided by 2 is 4.

y= 4

Now we can fill in. You can pick any equation for this but I'm going to chose the first one.

3x+10y=22

we can fill in 4 for y

3x+10(4)=22

3x+40=22

Next we are going to subtract 40 on both sides.

3x+40=22

-40 -40

3x= -18

Next, we're going to divide -18 by 3.

\frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{  - 18}{3}

The 3s cancel out leaving us x. -18 divided by 3 is -6.

x= -6

Hope this helped!! :)
