Answer:

0.2416

Step-by-step explanation:

P(forgot to water | dead) = P(forgot and dead) / P(dead)  

->With water it will die with probability 0.45

P(watered and dead) =0.83 x 0.45 = 0.3735

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7

P(forgot and dead) = (1-0.83) x 0.7 => 0.17 x 0.7 =>0.119

P(dead) =  P(watered and dead) +P(forgot and dead)

P(dead) = 0.3735 + 0.119= 0.4925

P(forgot to water | dead) =0.119 / 0.4925= 0.2416

Therefore, the probability the neighbor forgot to water the plant is 0.2416

Answer:

The answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater sign is > and the less then symbol is <

Using the red arrows on the number line, you can tell which one is bigger or less. The dot is colored in so it has to have a line under it. So for the first one (top, left), The red arrow is pointing to the right side meaning x is bigger than 3. Therefore x ≥ 3.

In the next one (top, right) the arrow is pointing to the negative side so that one must be less than 3. The dot is also colored in meaning it is: x ≤ 3

In the next one (bottom, left) the arrow is pointing to the right, the dot not colored in, so it has no line. Therefore it is  x > 3

Last one (bottom right) the arrow is pointing left, dot is white meaning that the answer is x < 3

If you're wondering what the open dots and closed dots mean:

An open dot is used to show that the ray's endpoint is not a component of the solution when the inequality is "strict" ( < or >).

A closed dot is used to denote that the endpoint is a component of the solution for the other types of inequalities (≥ and ≤ ).

Point b is the midpoint of ac-. if ab= 4x+2 and ac=10x-6, find the length of ac
Natasha2012 [34]

let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

\bf \underset{\leftarrow \qquad \textit{\large 10x-6}\qquad \to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4x+2}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}} B\stackrel{\underline{4x+2}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{C}}} \\\\\\ AC=AB+BC\implies 10x-6=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies 10x-6=8x+4 \\\\\\ 2x-6=4\implies 2x=10\implies x=\cfrac{10}{2}\implies x= 5 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AC=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies AC=[4(5)+2]+[4(5)+2] \\\\\\ AC=22+22\implies AC=44
