Mathematics

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 .

Find the number of possible ways one can choose marbles from a bag containing three marbles: a) if the order is important b) if
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

There are 3 marbles, that we assume are different.

Let's define them as marble 1, marble 2, and marble 3.

a) If the order is important, and we select the 3 marbles, then:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options (because one is already taken)

for the third marble is only one option.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options, so in this case, we have:

C = 3*2*1 = 6 combinations.

Now, if we only select 2 marbles from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options

Here the number of different combinations is:

C = 3*2 = 6 combinations.

And if we select only one marble from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

Then here are only 3 combinations.

the total number of combinations is:

C' = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 different combinations.

b) If the order is not important, then there is only one combination when we draw the 3 marbles.

When we draw one marble there are 3 combinations (one for each marble)

When we draw two marbles, again there are 3 combinations (one for each marble that we do not draw)

then the total number of combinations in this case is:

C = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7

LITTERLY HELP ME PLEASEE..... 2/x-4x/2x-3=-2<br> PLEASEE I INSERTED A PIC
Stels [109]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

\frac{2}{x}- \frac{4x}{2x-3}=-2

\frac{2(2x-3)}{x(2x-3)}-\frac{4x(x)}{x(2x-3)}=-2

\frac{2(2x-3)-4x^{2} }{x(2x-3)}=-2

(4x - 6) - 4x² = -2x(2x - 3)

4x - 6 - 4x² = -4x² + 6x

4x - 6 = 6x

6x - 4x = -6

2x = -6

x = -3
