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

PLEASE ANSWER I WILL RANK AND THANK
cestrela7 [59]
X + 4y = 9   Convert to  slope / intercept form:-

y  = (-1/4)x + 9/4

so the line perpendicular to this will have a slope -1 /(-1/4) = 4

so our equation will be y - y1 = 4(x - x1) where x1y1 is a point on the line.
x1 = 8 and y1 = -3:-
y - -3 = 4(x - 8)

y = 4x - 35
-4x + y = -35 is the answer

Help please anybody
Sedbober [7]

put in an positive number for x and check

2 - 5 = -3

5 - 2  = 3

- 2 + 5 = 3

5 + (-2) = 2

so the only different one is the first
