Given :

P( X = 70 ) = 0.62 .

P( X = 80 ) = 0.23 .

To Find :

We need to find If a person reaches their 70th birthday, what is the probability that they will live to age 80 .

Solution :

We need to find :

P(X=70 | X=80 )

We know ,

P(x,y ) = \dfrac{P(x)}{P(y)}

So ,

P(X=70 | X=80 )=\dfrac{P(X=80)}{P(X=70)}\\\\=\dfrac{0.62}{0.23}=0.371

Hence , this is the required solution .

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-5, 7) and is parallel to the line y = 4x + 5?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

y=4x+27

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel, it would have the same slope, so you already have that.

Now, you need the y-intercept of the second line. You already have one point, so use that point and the slope to find the y-int. What you can do (since you know you have to go up 4 and over 1, add a 1 to the -5 until you get to zero. your y-int would be 7+20 since you've gone up 5x4)

your final answer (i think) should be y=4x+27, but I could be wrong :))

Increased movement of the particles in a solid comes from increased ________.
Andrej [43]

Here's what I found !

<h2>"With an increase in temperature, the particles move faster as they gain kinetic energy, resulting in increased collision rates and an increased rate of diffusion. In a solid, the particles pack together as tightly as possible in a neat and ordered arrangement."</h2>

Which strategy best explains how to solve this problem? Rebecca bought a meal and two snacks for lunch each day. The meal cost $
Fittoniya [83]
Given:
Cost of lunch per day = 1 meal and 2 snacks

C = 5.5 + 2(0.75) = 5.5 + 1.5 = 7

7 * 12 days = 84

Based on the choices, the best strategy would be:

<span> A. Make a table. Write the numbers 1 to 12 in the top row of the table (the number of days). In the first box on the second row, write $7. This is how much Rebecca spends in 1 day. In each of the next boxes in the second row, write the amount Rebecca spends by adding $7 to the previous amount. The answer in box 12 is the total amount Rebecca spent after 12 days.</span>
