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.

2. In the triangle below, NE and KL are perpendicular bisectors. Knowing that the sum of interior angles in
Stells [14]

Answer:

a = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

In the given triangle,

NE and ML are the perpendicular bisectors of two sides of the triangle.

Therefore, m∠MEK = m∠MLK = 90°

Since, sum of interior angles of polygon KLME = 360°

m∠MEK + m∠MLK + m∠EML + m∠EKL = 360°

90° + 90° + 120° + a = 360°

a = 360° - 300°

a = 60°

Find rhe volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 10 inches and a height of 20 inches
IrinaK [193]
Since the diameter of the cylinder is 10, its radius is half that, or 5, thus

\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\
V=\pi r^2 h~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-----\\
r=5\\
h=20
\end{cases}\implies V=\pi (5)^2(20)
