The forest is 1566.7 acres

0.15x = 235

<span>x = 235/0.15 </span>

<span>x = 1566.7 </span>

15 % is equivalent to 235 acres
100 % will be equivalent to?
$\frac{100*235}{15}$
=1566.77acres

Use the formula for the conditional probability:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr B}.$

Consider such events

A - a senior takes the bus to school every day;

B - a senior has a driver’s license,

then

$Pr(A\cap B)=0.14$ ,

$Pr(B)=0.84$

and

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{0.14}{0.84} =\dfrac{1}{6}\approx 0.16666.$

In percent this is nearly 17%.

Answer: correct choice is B.

The correlation between a car’s engine size and its fuel economy (in mpg) is r = - 0.774.

fgiga [73]

Answer: 59.91%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the fraction of the variability in data values accounted by a model is given by $r^2$ , where r is the coefficient of correlation.

We are given , that the correlation between a car’s engine size and its fuel economy (in mpg) is r = - 0.774.

Then, the fraction of the variability in fuel economy is accounted for by the engine size would be $r^2=( - 0.774)^2=0.599076\approx59.91\%$

[Multiply 100 to convert a decimal into percent]

Hence, the fraction of the variability in fuel economy is accounted for by the engine size is 59.91%.

None of the options are correct.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

11.55% probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

21% probability that a Cyber Monday shopper used their mobile device to make a purchase.

55% probability that a purchase made with a mobile device is from Amazon.

What is the probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon."

55% of 21%

P = 0.21*0.55 = 0.1155

11.55% probability that the purchase was made with a mobile device and was from Amazon.
