A recent survey shows that the probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6. Further, given that the student is over

21 years old, the probability of drinking alcohol is 0.8. It is also known that 30% of the college students are over 21 years old. Of the students who are not over 21, what is the probability they drink alcohol? Group of answer choices

Answer: 0.5143

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of students who are over 21 years old = 30% = 0.3

Probability of students who are under 21 years old = 100% - 30% = 70% = 0.7

Probability of drinking alcohol for over 21 = 80% = 0.8

Probability of not drinking alcohol for over 21 = 100%- 80% = 20% = 0.2

Let the probability of the students who are not over 21, that drink alcohol be p.

Total probability of a college student drinking alcohol = (0.3 × 0.8) + (0.7 × p)

0.6 = (0.3 × 0.8) + (0.7 × p)

0.6 = 0.24 + 0.7p

0.7p = 0.6 - 0.24

0.7p = 0.36

p = 0.36/0.7

p = 0.5143

The probability of the students who are not over 21, that drink alcohol is 0.5143.

It takes 12 hours for a single hose to fill a large vat. When a second hose is added, the vat can be filled in 4 hours. How many
aksik [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.

That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.

The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.

_____

The first hose's rate of doing work is ...

... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour

If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...

... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)

... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour

... h = 1/6 vat/hour

so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.

F(t)=t^2+19t+60<br> What are the zeros of the function and what is the vertex of the parabola?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: -4,-15;\ \left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function is F(t)=t^2+19+60

Zeroes of the function are

t^2+19t+60=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm\sqrt{19^2-4\times 1\times 60}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm \sqrt{121}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm 11}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=-4,-15

Using completing the square method

y=t^2+2\times \dfrac{19}{2}t+\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}-\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}+60\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2+60-\dfrac{361}{4}\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\y+\dfrac{121}{4}=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2\\\\\left(y-(-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)=\left(t-(-\dfrac{19}{2})\right)^2\\\\\text{The vertex is }\left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)

Can someone check this out to see if I have this correct? If not can you help me out please? Thank you! The answers are on 2nd p

Answer:

Answer 1; Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

Answer 2; Substitution

Answer 3; Definition of perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement  {}                               Reason

1. ∠SWT ≅ ∠TWU {}                    Given

2. m∠SWT + m∠TWU = 180°  {}  Angles forming a linear sum to 180°

3. m∠SWT + m∠SWT = 180° {}    Substitution

4. m∠SWT = 90°  {}                      Algebra

5. \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow }⊥ \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } {}                                  Definition of perpendicular lines

Perpendicular lines are defined as lines that are at right angles (90°) to each other, therefore given that the angle formed by the lines \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } m∠SWT = 90°, therefore, the lines \underset{TV}{\leftrightarrow } and \underset{SU}{\leftrightarrow } are perpendicular to each other.
