Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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 .

Algebra II Help??? Subtracting Fractions (2x)/(y^2-x^2) - (x)/(y-x)

denis23 [38]

Make bottom number same

ok, so remember
(a-b)(a+b)=a²+b²
so

to get from (y-x) to (y²-x²), multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)

so multiply 2nd fraction by (y+x)/(y+x)
$\frac{2x}{y^2-x^2}- \frac{(y+x)(x)}{y^2-x^2}$ =
$\frac{2x-x(x+y)}{y^2-x^2}$ =
$\frac{2x-x^2-xy}{y^2-x^2}$

Quadrilateral TRPK ~ Quadrilateral EWMN Which statements are correct? Select all that apply. Question 8 options:

8090 [49]

For starters, we know that the angle measures have to be similar or the same, since similar shapes always contain the same angle measures. We can use the way that the letters of each shape line up to identify which angle correspond to each other. Angle R should be congruent to angle W, but angle P is not congruent to N, it would be congruent to M though. Now we get to the tricky part, figuring out line segment lengths. Again using the letters in each shape, we can see that TK and NM do not correspond to each other, and thus cannot be congruent or similar. But, with RP/WM, this is correctly lined up with each other. TR/EW, same with this one, and TK/EN is also the same. With this Info, we can figure out the dilation of the smaller shape, or just figure out if they are similar or not. (So pick B. And D.)

Solve the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. A. m∠A=43, m∠B=55, a=16 B. m∠A=48, m∠B=50, a=23 C. m∠A=48, m∠B=50,

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

D. m∠A=43, m∠B=55, a=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∆ABC,

m<C = 82°

AB = c = 29

AC = b = 24

Required:

m<A, m<C, and a (BC)

SOLUTION:

Find m<B using the law of sines:

$\frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}$

$\frac{sin(B)}{24} = \frac{sin(82)}{29}$

$sin(B)*29 = sin(82)*24$

$\frac{sin(B)*29}{29} = \frac{sin(82)*24}{29}$

$sin(B) = \frac{sin(82)*24}{29}$

$sin(B) = 0.8195$

$B = sin^{-1}(0.8195)$

$B = 55.0$

m<B = 55°

Find m<A:

m<A = 180 - (82 + 55) => sum of angles in a triangle.

= 180 - 137

m<A = 43°

Find a using the law of sines:

$\frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{b}{sin(B)}$

$\frac{a}{sin(43)43} = \frac{24}{sin(55)}$

Cross multiply

$a*sin(55) = 25*sin(43)$

$a = \frac{25*sin(43)}{sin(53)}$

$a = 20$ (approximated)

Are the two right triangles trs and wuv congruent? If so name the congruence postulate that applies

Nataly_w [17]

Two figures are said to be congruent when they have the same shape and size or if one object is a mirror image of the other object. The right triangles trs and wuv are congruent when they have equal lengths of the sides and having equal sides, angles should as well be equal with the two triangles.
