Factor out the coefficient of the variable for 2.4n + 9.6 and -6z + 12

1 answer:

3 0

2.4n + 9.6
-6z + 12

2.4 is a factor of 9.6
2.4 × 4 = 9.6
2.4(n + 4) = 2.4n + 9.6

6 is a factor of 12
6 × 2 = 12
it can either be:
6(-z + 2) = -6z + 12
or
-6(z - 2) = -6z + 12

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

(a) $P(Y'|M)\approx 0.3297$

(b) $P(Y|M')\approx 0.8323$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table is

Yes No Don't Know Total

Men 162 92 25 279

Women 258 41 11 310

Total 420 133 36 589

According the the conditional probability, if A and B are two event then

$P(A|B)=P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

We need to find the following probabilities.

Let Y is the event "saying yes," and M is the event "being a man."

(a)

$P(Y'|M)=\frac{P(Y'\cap M)}{P(M)}$

$P(Y'|M)=\frac{\frac{92}{589}}{\frac{279}{589}}$

$P(Y'|M)=\frac{92}{279}$

$P(Y'|M)=0.329749103943$

$P(Y'|M)\approx 0.3297$

(b)

$P(Y|M')=\frac{P(Y\cap M')}{P(M')}$

$P(Y|M')=\frac{\frac{258}{589}}{\frac{310}{589}}$

$P(Y|M')=\frac{258}{310}$

$P(Y|M')=0.832258064516$

$P(Y|M')\approx 0.8323$

(c)

$P(Y'|M')=\frac{P(Y'\cap M')}{P(M')}$

$P(Y'|M')=\frac{\frac{41}{589}}{\frac{310}{589}}$

$P(Y'|M')=\frac{41}{310}$

$P(Y'|M')=0.132258064516$

$P(Y'|M')\approx 0.1323$

A college student is taking two courses. The probability she passes the first course is 0.73. The probability she passes the sec

zhenek [66]

Answer:

b) No, it's not independent.

c) 0.02

d) 0.59

e) 0.57

f) 0.5616

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this problem, a Venn diagram should be useful. The diagram with the information of Event 1 and Event 2 is shown below (I already added the information for the intersection but we're going to see how to get that information in the b) part of the problem)

Let's call A the event that she passes the first course, then P(A)=.73

Let's call B the event that she passes the second course, then P(B)=.66

Then P(A∪B) is the probability that she passes the first or the second course (at least one of them) is the given probability. P(A∪B)=.98

b) Is the event she passes one course independent of the event that she passes the other course?

Two events are independent when P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(B)

So far, we don't know P(A∩B), but we do know that for all events, the next formula is true:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

We are going to solve for P (A∩B)

.98 = .73 + .66 - P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) =.73 + .66 - .98

P(A∩B) = .41

Now we will see if the formula for independent events is true

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

.41 = .73 x .66

.41 ≠.4818

Therefore, these two events are not independent.

c) The probability she does not pass either course, is 1 - the probability that she passes either one of the courses (P(A∪B) = .98)

1 - P(A∪B) = 1 - .98 = .02

d) The probability she doesn't pass both courses is 1 - the probability that she passes both of the courses P(A∩B)

1 - P(A∩B) = 1 -.41 = .59

e) The probability she passes exactly one course would be the probability that she passes either course minus the probability that she passes both courses.

P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = .98 - .41 = .57

f) Given that she passes the first course, the probability she passes the second would be a conditional probability P(B|A)

P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

P(B|A) = .41 / .73 = .5616
