2.24 Exit poll: Edison Research gathered exit poll results from several sources for the Wisconsin recall election of Scott Walke

r. They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree, while 45% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker? (please round to 4 decimal places)

Answer:

0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Having a college degree.

Event B: Voting for Scott Walker.

They found that 57% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker.

This means that P(B) = 0.57

Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 33% had a college degree

This means that P(A|B) = 0.33

Probability of having a college degree.

33% of those who voted for Scott Walker(57%).

45% of those who voted against Scott Walker(100 - 57 = 43%). So

P(A) = 0.33*0.57 + 0.45*0.43 = 0.3816

What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.57*0.33}{0.3816} = 0.4929

0.4929 = 49.29% probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker

When a figure is translated, what is true, compared to the preimage of the figure
Charra [1.4K]
When you translate something in geometry, you're simply moving it around. You don't distort it in any way. If you translate a segment, it remains a segment, and its length doesn't change. Similarly, if you translate an angle, the measure of the angle doesn't change.

Find the area of the trapezoid to the nearest tenth.
erica [24]

Answer:

2.2 metres squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of this trapezoid.

The area of a trapezoid is denoted by:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}, where b_1 and b_2 are the parallel bases and h is the height

Here, we already know the lengths of the two bases; they are 0.9 metres and 2.3 metres. However, we need to find the length of the height.

Notice that one of the angles is marked 45 degrees. Let's draw a perpendicular line from top endpoint of the segment labelled 0.9 to the side labelled 2.3. We now have a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 2.0 metres. As one of such a triangle's properties, we can divide 2.0 by √2 to get the length of both legs:

2.0 ÷ √2 = √2 ≈ 1.414 ≈ 1.4

Thus, the height is h = 1.4 metres. Now plug all these values we know into the equation to find the area:

A=\frac{(b_1+b_2)h}{2}

A=\frac{(0.9+2.3)*1.4}{2}=2.2

The answer is thus 2.2 metres squared.

Negative one fourths times negative six elevenths
Ipatiy [6.2K]

You multiply fractions simply by multiplying numerators and denominators with each other:

-\dfrac{1}{4} \times \left(-\dfrac{6}{11}\right) = \dfrac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 11} = \dfrac{6}{44} = \dfrac{3}{22}
