The probability that Billy would pass at least one test is 0.9. The probability that he passes both tests is 0.7. The tests are

of equal difficulty (that is, the probability that Billy passes test 1 is the same as the probability that he passes test 2). What is the conditional probability of Billy passing test 2 given the event that he passes test 1?

Answer:

0.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability that Billy passes test 1 be P(A)

Let the probability that Billy passes test 2 be P(B)

P(A n B) = 0.7

P(A) = P(B)

Let them both be numerically x.

P(A) = P(B) = x

P(A') = P(B') = (1 - x)

Probability that he passes at least one test = 0.9

But (probability that he passes at least 1 test) = 1 - (Probabilty that he fails both tests)

Probability that he fails both tests = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

P(A' n B')= 0.1

P(U) = P(A) - P(A n B) + P(B) - P(A n B) + P(A n B) + P(A' n B') = 1

x - 0.7 + x - 0.7 + 0.7 + 0.1 = 1

2x = 1 + 0.7 - 0.1 = 1.6

x = 0.8

P(A) = P(B) = 0.8

The conditional probability of Billy passing test 2 given the event that he passes test 1 = P(B|A) = P(A n B)/P(A) = (0.7/0.8)

P(B|A) = 0.875

Hope this helps!!!

PLZ HELP ill GIVE BRAINIESt!!!!
Elenna [48]
This problem can be modeled by the picture shown below. We notice that we are given to side lengths, specifically legs, of the triangle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse. So we can do:

16^2+12^2=c^2
256+144=c^2
400=c^2

The square root of 400 is 20, which is our hypotenuse.

(You might wonder why we used 12, that is because the whole base length is 24, but we only need half of the base to  use the Pythagorean Theorem. 24/2 is 12).

Find the value of k such that x-2 is a factor of 3x³-kx²+5x+k​
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

\displaystyle k = \frac{34}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the polynomial:

\displaystyle P(x) = 3x^3 - kx^2 + 5x + k

And we want to determine the value of <em>k</em> such that (<em>x</em> - 2) is a factor of the polynomial.

Recall that the Factor Theorem states that a binomial (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial P(x) if and only if P(a) = 0.

Our binomial factor is (<em>x</em> - 2). Thus, <em>a</em> = 2.

Hence, by the Factor Theorem, P(2) must equal zero.

Find P(2):

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(2) &= 3(2)^3 - k(2)^2 + 5(2) + k \\ \\ &= 3(8) - 4k + 10 + k \\ \\ &= 34 - 3k  \end{aligned}

This must equal zero. Hence:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 34 - 3k &= 0 \\ \\ -3k &= -34 \\ \\ k = \frac{34}{3}  \end{aligned}

In conclusion, <em>k</em> = 34/3.

Find the value of two numbers is there some is 12 and there difference is 4
Mademuasel [1]
You mean their sum is 12?

A) x + y = 12
B) x -y = 4  then we add both equations:
2x = 16
x = 8
y = 4
