a student takes two subjects A and B. Know that the probability of passing subjects A and B is 0.8 and 0.7 respectively. If you

have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8. Find the probability that the student passes both subjects? Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

Answer:

0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.

0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

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: Passing subject A

Event B: Passing subject B

The probability of passing subject A is 0.8.

This means that P(A) = 0.8

If you have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8.

This means that P(B|A) = 0.8

Find the probability that the student passes both subjects?

This is P(A \cap B). So

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

P(A \cap B) = P(B|A)P(A) = 0.8*0.8 = 0.64

0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.

Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

This is:

p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

Considering P(B) = 0.7, we have that:

p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.64 = 0.86

0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

John is about to roll a six sided, fair number cube 60
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

No it is not a good prediction. Theoretical probability says that the answer would be 30 of the 60 (30/60) rolls would be even numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling an even number on a fair six sided die is 3/6 or 1/2 when simplified.

if john rolls the die 60 times, multiply the theoretical probability (1/2) by the number of rolls

(1 ÷ 2) x 60 = 30

∴ theoretical probability says that john would roll an even number 30 out of the 60 rolls

I hope this was helpful :-)

The volume of a cylinder is 480pie cm3. The height of the cylinder is 30 cm. What is the radius of the
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

R = 4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V = π(R)²h = 480π

Divide by π

(R)²h = 480

Substitute h with 30

30*(R)² = 480

Divide by 30

(R)² = 16

Square root

R = 4cm

We do not accept R= -4 because it's a length, so it must be positive.

Triangle A C B is cut by line segment E D. Line segment E D goes from side B C to side A C. The length of B A is 4 x minus 6 and
bezimeni [28]

From the markings on the diagram, we can tell E is the midpoint of BC and <u>D</u> is the midpoint of AC. We can apply the <u>triangle midsegment theorem</u>: ED = ½BA. Substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x = <u>5</u>. Now, since BE = x, then BC = <u>10</u>.

<h3>What is triangle midpoint theorem?</h3>

Triangle midpoint theorem states that the line segment which joins the midpoints of two (2) sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and it's congruent to one-half of the third side.

By applying the triangle midpoint theorem, we can find the value of x:

ED = ½BA

x + 2 = ½(4x - 6)

2x + 4 = 4x - 6

4x - 2x = 6 + 4

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5.

BC = x + x

BC = 5 + 5

BC = 10.
