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.

A _[blank 1]_ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has other factors besides 1 and itself, it is called
kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has  factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Can someone please help me with these questions!! Thanks,
fiasKO [112]

6a. 1 - 2sin(x)² - 2cos(x)² = 1 - 2(sin(x)² +cos(x)²) = 1 - 2·1 = -1

6c. tan(x) + sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x) + tan(x) = 2tan(x)

6e. 3sin(x) + tan(x)cos(x) = 3sin(x) + (sin(x)/cos(x))cos(x) = 3sin(x) +sin(x) = 4sin(x)

6g. 1 - cos(x)²tan(x)² = 1 - cos(x)²·(sin(x)²)/cos(x)²) = 1 -sin(x)² = cos(x)²

Pleaseee help meeeee question 1 and 2!!!!!
madam [21]

Answer:

I know #1 is a

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 is a because the bus stops twice reaching zero speed to pick up riders then he stops again but since he has to slow down it's not a instant stop so it gradually decelerates twice but since it has a speed it has a constant line (straight) another easy way to tell us to look at the speed and then look the the graph and see if they match so you can elimnate a answer
