ut with his girlfriend; 60% of the time he goes to a bar. 30% of the times when he goes out with his girlfriend he spends the night at her apartment. 40% of the times when he goes to a bar he gets in a fight and gets thrown in jail. You wake up on Saturday morning and your roommate is not home. What is the probability that he is in jail?

Answer:

the probability is 0.24 or 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage of time he goes out with his girlfriend = 40%

Percentage of time he goes out to a bar = 60%

If he goes out with his girlfriend, the percentage of times he spends the night at his girlfriend’s apartment = 30%

If he goes out to a bar, percentage of times he gets in a fight and gets thrown in jail = 40%

let probability that the roommate went to the bar = A

 

As the roommate going to jail is a conditional probability dependent on A happening, the true probability of the roommate is found by multiplying the absolute probability of the roommate going out to a bar (A) by the probability of the roommate going to jail if he goes to a bar

that is Pr(B) =Pr (B n A)

Pr(B) = Pr(B/A) *Pr(A)

This is given as 60% * 40% or 0.6 * 0.4 (probabilities are 1/100 of percentages)

This gives an answer of 0.24 or 24%

What is 20 5/81 in simplest form
Marizza181 [45]
20 5/81 in its simplest form is 20 5/81.

20 5/81 originally looks like this ⇒ 1625/81

((20 * 81)+5)/81 = (1620+5)/81 = 1625/81   * this is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Improper fractions must be converted to proper fractions. It will then become a mixed fraction.

Is 8x-2y=2 a direct or inverse variation
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Neither, why... for it to be direct or inverse variation, the model has to fit either y=k/x or y=kx, it may not have a y-intercept at all if it is inverse variation and it must have a y-intercept of 0 for it to be direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement y=2 is quite specific. Because k is positive, y increases as x increases. So as x increases by 1, y increases by 1.5. Inverse Variation: Because k is positive, y decreases as x increases.  yx is a constant number -8. The constant of variation, k , is 23 . Inverse Variation

An inverse variation can be represented by the equation xy=k or y=kx .

That is, y varies inversely as x if there is some nonzero constant k such that, xy=k or y=kx where x≠0,y≠0 .

Suppose y varies inversely as x such that xy=3 or y=3x . That graph of this equation shown.

Answer: 2p+1.50=11.50

               p = 5.00

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

<em>Note: the tip is calculated on top of the total so this figure is a redherring</em>

<u>2 pancakes</u> <em>plus</em> <u>1 fruit cup</u> <em>equals</em> <u>total bill</u>

          2p       +        1.50          =         11.50

2p + 1.50 = 11.50

<u>      - 1.50 </u> <u> - 1.50  </u>

 2p         = 10.00

<u>÷2          </u>    <u> ÷2       </u>

    p         =  5.00

A bank account has a beginning of 560.00. After 6 months, the balance in the account has increased to 572.60. What interest rate
MaRussiya [10]

This is tricky because we are given the interest rate for the year but the problem is figureing the interest for 6 months or 1/2 year. We will have to double the difference before solving for the yearly interest.

572.60 - 560.00 = 12.60 interest added for 6 months x 2 = 25.20 for 12 months

(This problem assumes the interest will stay the same the next 6 months)

We need to find what percent 25.20 is to our original balance.

25.20/560 = x / 100

2520 = 560x

x = 4.5 percent interest

Check .045 x 560.00 = 25.20 interest in one year (or 12.60 in 6 months)
