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

3 cm on the map represents 31.5 km in reality.

3cm : 31.5 km

1cm :  31.5/3 km

In an area of the Midwest, records were kept on the relationship between the rainfall (in inches) and the yield of wheat (bushel
dusya [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 36.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the data:

Rainfall(inch) x: 10.5, 8.8, 13.4, 12.5, 18.8, 10.3, 7.0, 15.6, 16.0

Yield (bushels per acre) y: 50.5, 46.2, 58.8, 59.0, 82.4, 49.2, 31.9, 76.0, 78.8

The response variable is

Y: Yield of wheat (bushels per acre)

Explanatory variable:

X: Rainfall in a certain period (inch)

I've calculated the equation of regression using a statistics software, the estimated equation is:

^Y= 4.27 + 4.38X

To calculate the value that will take the response variable for a given value of X:

^Y= 4.27 + 4.38*7.3= 36.24 bushels per acre.

I hope it helps!
