Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

P(f ) = probability of being female = .3

P(m ) Probability of being male = .7

P(s/m) =  probability  of having a smoker worker given that he is a male = .6

P(s/f) =  probability  of having a smoker worker given that he is a male = .4

p(s) = p(m) x p(s/m) + p(f) x P(s/f)

= .7 x .6 + .4 x .3

= .42 + .12

= .54

b )

p (m/s) =  probability that this person will be a male,Given that this person is a smoker

p(m) x p(s/m) /  [ p(m) x p(s/m) + p(f) x P(s/f) ]

= .7 x .6 / .7 x .6 + .4 x .3

= .42 / .54

= .78

c )

Probability of the person being a smoker and male

= .54 x .78 = .42

probability of a person being a male and non smoker = .7 - .42 = .28

probability of a person being a non smoker and female = .46 -.28 =.18

probability that  person will be a smoker or a male

= 1 - (a person being a non smoker and female).  

= 1 - .18

= .82 .

Identify the values of a, b, and c in this quadratic equation:
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

C

a = 1 : b=-8; C = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you did not include the sign between the x^2 and the 8x...my guess is that it is a minus.

By process of elimination the answer is not B or D bc the a-value is 1 not 0.

Then the +12 you did include in the original question indicates that the c-value is 12 not -12 eliminating answer A.

There are 15 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A restaurant is offering a dinner special that includes one starter and one entree.

Starter: bread-sticks, soup, salad

Entree: beef, fish, chicken, shrimp, pork

So, we have 3 starters and 5 entrees.

To know the possible dinner special combinations we will simply multiply the two.

3\times5=15

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .<span>X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 30/5 = 6.Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 30/-3 = -10.Slope is -5/-3 = 1.66666666666667.<span> Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1.66666666666667*x+-10.</span></span>
