Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First of all lets define

X to be that the bags do contain large liquid amounts

+ to be that the test is not negative that is positive

From the question,

P(x) = 3/100 = 0.03

P(+|X) = 0.91

P(+|X′) = 0.05

Probability of bag having a positive test =p(+)

= P(+|X) (P(x)) + P(+|X′)(P(X′))

= P(X′)) = 1 – 0.03 = 0.97

Inserting these values into these formulas

0.91)(0,03) + (0.05)(0.97)

= 0.0273 + 0.0485

= 0.0758

The probability of the randomly selected bag having large liqid amount

= P(X|+) = (0.91*0.03)/(0.91*0.03)(0.05*0.97)

= 0.0273/0.0273+0.0485

= 0.0273/0.0758

= 0.3602

the probability that this bag does not have large liquid amount

= p(X'|+) = 1 - P(X|+)

= 1 - 0.3602

= 0.6398

x=75°

We know that ∠EFG=∠ABF because they are corresponding angles.

We also know that ∠x+∠ABF=180, because angles along a straight line always equal 180:

x+105=180

x=75°

If f(x)=x-6/x, g(x)=x+4 and h(x)= 3x-2 (h*f*g)(x)

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-14 + x\4 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by plugging the g(x) function into the f(x) for every "x" you see, then take THAT answer and plug into the h(x) function for that "x" you see. You will arrive at the above answer.

Solve for x using figure to the right. Pls answer this it is urgent

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Therefore the value of x = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let label the Triangles first,

Δ ABC a right triangle at ∠ A =90°

Δ ADB andΔ ADC a right triangle at ∠ D =90°

Such that

AD = x

BD = 50

CD = 2

∴ BC = BD + DC = 50 + 2 = 52

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

In right triangle By Pythagoras Theorem,

$(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}$

In right triangle Δ ADB andΔ ADC By Pythagoras Theorem we will have,

AB² = BD² + AD²

AB² = 50² + x² ..................equation ( 1 )

and

AC² = DC² + AD²

AC² = 2² + x² ...................equation ( 2 )

Now in right triangle Δ ABC,

BC² = AB² + AC²

Equating equation (1 ) and ( 2 ) and the given value we get

52² = 50² + x² + 2² + x²

∴ 2x² = 2704 - 2504

∴ 2x² =200

∴ $x^{2} =\frac{200}{2}\\\\\therefore x=\pm\sqrt{100} \\\\ \textrm{x cannot be negative}\\\therefore x= 10\ unit$

Therefore the value of x = 10 units

Twin brothers, Billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparent’s lawn together in 63 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<h2>140 minutes</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem focuses on the combined work rate

both can finish the work under 63 minute

let bobby mow the lawn in x minute

Billy will then mow the lawn in x-25 minutes

Let the completed job = 1 (a mowed lawn)

we can now apply the combined work formula for the two boys as

$\frac{63}{x}+\frac{63}{x-25}=1$

multiplying through by x(x-25 )we have

$63(x-25)+63x= x(x-25)$

open bracket we have

$63x-1575+63x= x^2-25x$

rearranging and collecting like terms we have

$0=x^2-25x-63x-63x+1575 \\\\0=x^2-151x+1575 \\\\x^2-151x+1575=0$

we can now use the quadractic formula

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{} \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a= 1

b= -151

c= 1575

$x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{151^2-4*1*1575} }{2*1}$

$x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{22801-6300} }{2} \\\\x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} \sqrt{16501} }{2} \\\\x=\frac{-(-151)\frac{+}{} 128.45}{2} \\\\$

$x=\frac{-(-151)+128.45}{2} \\\\\x=\frac{279.45}{2} \\\\x=139.72 \\\\\\x=\frac{-(-151)-128.45}{2}\\\\x=\frac{151-128.45}{2}\\\\x=\frac{22.55}{2}\\\\x=11.27$

the first answer x= 139.72 approximately 140 minutes mins is correct for Bobby's time

let us check

$\frac{63}{140}+\frac{63}{140-25}=1\\\\\\0.45+\frac{63}{115} =1\\\\0.45+0.5478=1\\0.997 =1$

we can see that the solution approximates to 1
