You’re about to get on a plane to Seattle. You want to know if it’s raining. You call 3 random friends who live there and ask ea

ch if it’s raining. Each friend has a 2/3 chance of telling you the truth and a 1/3 chance of messing with you by lying. All 3 friends tell you that ""Yes"" it is raining. What is the probability that it’s actually raining in Seattle?

Answer:

The probability that it is actually raining in Seattle is 26/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the probability that a friend is telling the truth = 2/3

The probability that a friend is telling a lie = 1/3

Therefore, if all three friends say "Yes" it is raining in Seattle, the probability that is actually raining is given by the probability that one of them is telling the truth. That is the complement that all are messing with their friend.

The probability that all are not telling the truth is;

P(All not telling the truth) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}   \times  \frac{1}{3}  =  \frac{1}{27}

P(One is telling the truth) = 1 - P(All not telling the truth)  = 1- \frac{1}{27} = \frac{26}{27}

Therefore, the probability that it is actually raining in Seattle = 26/27.

Which statement describes the function y = axn when a = 1 and n is odd?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The graph is symmetric about the origin.

The graph does not pass through the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given:

  • the function y=axn
  • a = 1
  • n is odd

Because a = 1, then the given function can be rewritten as y = n.

  • The graph opens down

The function y = n will produce a horizontal line. Any function in the form of y = a single number, such as 4 or 9.3 will produce a horizontal line.

  • The graph is symmetric about the origin.

This is true, given the graph is a horizontal line.

  • The graph does not pass through the origin.

This is also true. We're given that n is an odd number. The graph will only pass through the origin if n = 0, and 0 is even.

  • The graph has more than one x-intercept.

This would only be true when n = 0, and this isn't possible. So, no.

Two lines that have the same slopes, when will they intersect
taurus [48]

Answer: No. If two lines have the same slope they are parallel lines (or they are the same line), so they cannot intersect at one point. Because the triangles are congruent, the angles where the lines meet the x-axis are congruent. Because the lines form the same angle with the x-axis, they are parallel.
