Answer:
i) Probability that both candidates employed are women = 5/14
ii) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = 5/8
iii) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the probability that a man is employed be P(M) = 3/8
Probability that a woman is employed P(W) = 5/8
a) Probability that both candidates employed are women = (5/8) × (4/7) = 5/14
b) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = (probability that first candidate is a man and second candidate is a woman) + (probability that first candidate is a woman & second candidate is a woman)
= (3/8)(5/7) + (5/8)(4/7) = (15/56) + (20/56) = 35/56 = 5/8
c) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman
Given that the second candidate was a women, means that the first candidate-women was selected among other four women.
Probability = (4/8)/(5/8) = 4/5
Answer:
1. He added 5 instead of subtracted 5.
2. He should have subtracted 5.
3. 2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+5=13
subtract 5 to both sides 3x=8
divide both sides by 3 x=8/3 or 2 2/3

Paula's dog is 36 lbs
Use the equation 48=3x+x
Add like terms: 48=4x
Divide: 12=x (x=Carla's dog's weight)
Then Multiply x by 3 to get Paula's dog's weight and you get 36 lbs
The expression which relates the total time taken and the time taken for the trip is [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s and 2.32 hours respectively.
<em>Travel time = distance ÷ speed </em>
<u>Second half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Distance covered = 15 miles</em>
<u>Time taken for second half of trip</u> :
Time taken = 15 / s
<u>First half of the trip</u> :
- <em>Speed = s + 2 mph </em>
<u>Time taken for first half of trip :</u>
Time taken = 15 / (s+2)
<u>Total time taken :</u>
<em>First half + second half</em>
15/(s+2) + 15/s = [15s + 15(s+2)] / s² + 2s
B)
If s = 12
<em>Substitute s = 12 into the expression</em> :
[15(12) + 15(12+2)] / 12² + 2(12)
[180 + 210] / 144 + 24
390 / 168
= 2.32 hours
Therefore, the total time taken is 2.32 hours.
