Answer:

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

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

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: having a cat.

Event B: having a dog.

12 of 27 students have a cat:

This means that P(A) = \frac{12}{27}

5 students who have a cat and a dog.

This means that P(A \cap B) = \frac{5}{27}

What is the probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat?

P(B|A) = \frac{\frac{5}{27}}{\frac{12}{27}} = \frac{5}{12} = 0.4167

41.67% probability that a student has a dog given that they have a cat

QUESTION 1  

If a function is continuous at x=a, then \lim_{x \to a}f(x)=f(a)  

Let us find the limit first,  

\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x-4}{x+5}  

As x \rightarrow 4, x-4 \rightarrow 0,x+5 \rightarrow 9 and f(x) \rightarrow \frac{0}{9}=0  

\therefore \lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x-4}{x+5}=0  

Let us now find the functional value at x=4  

f(4)=\frac{4-4}{4+5} =\frac{0}{9}=0  

Since  

\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)=\frac{x-4}{x+5}=f(4), the function is continuous at a=4.  

QUESTION 2  

The correct answer is table 2. See attachment.


In this table the values of x approaches zero from both sides.


This can help us determine if the one sided limits are approaching the same value.

As we are getting closer and closer to zero from both sides, the function is approaching 2.


The values are also very close to zero unlike those in table 4.


The correct answer is B


QUESTION 3


We want to evaluate;


\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^3+5x^2+3x-9}{x-1}


using the properties of limits.


A direct evaluation gives \frac{1^3+5(1)^2+3(1)-9}{1-1}=\frac{0}{0}.


This indeterminate form suggests that, we simplify the function first.


We factor to obtain,


\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{(x-1)(x+3)^2}{x-1}


We cancel common factors to get,


\lim_{x \to 1} (x+3)^2


=(1+3)^2=16


The correct answer is D



QUESTION 4

We can see from the table that as x approaches -2 from both sides, the function approaches -4


Hence the limit is -4.


See attachment


The correct answer is option A
