Answer:

0.231

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Probability of students that knew the correct answer be: P(A)

P(A) = 60% = 0.6

Let the Probability that the student picked the wrong answer even if he/she knows the right answer be: P(B)

P(B) = 15% =0.15

Let the Probability of the student that do not knew the correct answer Be P(C)

P(C) = 1 - P(A)

P(C) = 1 - 0.6

P(C) = 0.4

Let the Probability that the student does not know the right answer but guessed it correctly be: P(D)

P(D) = 25% = 0.25

Let the Probability that the student picked the right answer even if he/she knows the right answer be: P(E)

P(E) = 1 - P(B)

P(E) = 1 - 0.15

P(E) = 0.85

Probability that the student got the answer wrong = (0.60 X 0.15) + (0.40 X 0.75) = 0.39      

P( Student knew answer given he answered wrong) = \frac{P(Student knew answer) X P(Student answered wrong given he knew the answer}{0.39}

=\frac{0.6*0.15}{0.39}

=\frac{0.09}{0.39}

= 0.23076923077

= 0.231

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

They spent $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given that Jane bought x cookies, so 3x.

John spent $1 on each of the x cookies he got, and also an extra $10, so x+10.

3x=x+10

2x=10

x=5

So they got 5 cookies each.

5 cookies x $3= $15 (check with $5(1)+$10= $5+$10= $15 )

ANTONII [103]
LiftA= u m/s ( upwards)
LiftB= -u m/s(downward)

Velocity A relative to B= V lift A- V lift B=8m/s
u-(-u)=8
u=4m/s
Lift A= 4 m/sec
Lift B= -4m/sec
For someone standing on first floor will be stationary W.r.t to the lift.
V lift A relative to Man= V liftA - V man= 4m/s

V lift B relative to Man= V lift B- V Man= -4 m/s
