Answer:

m = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3(12 - m) = - 1(m - 8)

- 36 - (- 3m) = - m - 8

- 36 + 3m = - m - 8

- 36 + 3m + m = - m + m - 8

- 36 + 4m = - 8

- 36 + 36 + 4m = - 8 + 36

4m = 28

4m ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4

m = 7

Suppose you draw a card from a well shuffled deck of playing cards what is probability of drawing a ace

Tasya [4]

So there are a totally of 52 cards right?(not counting jokers because jokers are not in official cards)
And there are 4 aces right?
So there are 52 outcomes and 4 of them are aces.
So when we write probabilities we write it in fraction form where the total number of outcomes is the denominator and the ones you want to get are the numerator OK?
So the total number is outcomes is 52 and becomes the denominator and 4 the number of aces become the numerator.
So 4/52 right?
And we now have to simplify it right?
And so we divide by the highest common factor right?
In this case 4 because there isn’t other numbers that are factors and greater than 4.
So 4 divided by 4/52 is 1/13 right?
4 goes into 4 1 time and 13 times into 52.
So your answer is 1/13

In a certain clinical study, 15% of participants were classified as heavy smokers, 25% as light-smokers, and the rest as non-smo

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

There is a 28.57% probability that a randomly selected participant who died by the end of the study was a non-smoker.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following probabilities:

A 15% probability that a participant is classified as a heavy smoker.

A 25% probability that a participant is classified as a light smoker.

A 100% - 25% - 15% = 60% probability that a participant is classified as a non smoker.

A x% probability that a non smoker dies.

A 3x% probability that a light smoker dies.

A 5x% probability that a heavy smoker dies.

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

This problem is:

What is the probability of the participant being a non-smoker, given that he died?

P(B) is the probability that the participant is a non smoker. So

$P(B) = 0.6$

P(A/B) is the probability that the participant dies, given that he is a non smoker. So:

$P(A/B) = x$

P(A) is the probability that the participant dies:

$P(A) = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that a heavy smoker is selected and that he dies. So:

$P_{1} = 0.15*5x = 0.75x$

$P_{2}$ is the probability that a light smoker is selected and that he dies. So:

$P_{2} = 0.25*3x = 0.75x$

$P_{3}$ is the probability that a non-smoker is selected and that he dies. So:

$P_{3} = 0.60*x = 0.60x$

The probability that a participant dies is:

$P(A) = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} = 0.75x + 0.75x + 0.60x = 2.10x$

The probability of the participant being a non-smoker, given that he died, is:

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.6x}{2.10x} = \frac{0.6}{2.10} = 0.2857$

There is a 28.57% probability that a randomly selected participant who died by the end of the study was a non-smoker.
