Answer:

The probability is: 0.8889.

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: Approved

Event B: Qualified

Probability of a person being approved:

80% of 75%(qualified)

30% of 25%(not qualified). So

P(A) = 0.8*0.75 + 0.3*0.25 = 0.675

Probability of a person being approved and being qualified:

80% of 75%, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.8*0.75

Find the probability that a person is qualified if he or she was approved by the manager.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.8*0.75}{0.675} = 0.8889

The probability is: 0.8889.

Jeff was already 7 miles out of town when his sister
Nikolay [14]

The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:

- Jeff position:

x_j(t) = 7 + 2.5 t

where:

7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him

2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour

t is the time measured in hours

- Sister position:

x_s(t) = 6t

where

6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)

t is the time measured in hours

The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so

x_j(t) = x_s(t)\\7+2.5t=6t

And solving for t,

7+2.5t-2.5t=6t-2.5t\\7=3.5t\\t=\frac{7}{3.5}=2 h

So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.

Can anyone answer this for me?
kramer

Answer:

\frac{3}{2} π (or 270°)

Step-by-step explanation:

I use the trick with the coordinates.

(0, -1)

cos270° = 0 (the x-coordinate)

sin270° = -1 (the y-coordinate)

This trick works depending on the radius.
