Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

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: Red ball

Event B: From box A.

Probability of a red ball:

3/10 = 0.3 of 1/2 = 0.5(box A)

6/10 = 0.6 of 1/2 = 0.5(box B). So

P(A) = 0.3*0.5 + 0.6*0.5 = 0.45

Probability of a red ball from box A:

0.3 of 0.5, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15

What is the probability that this red ball is from box A?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.45} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

Factor 15z^2+17z-18 please show work
siniylev [52]

There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.  

15z² +17z - 18 =  

d = 17² - 4.15.-18  

d = 289 + 1080  

d = 1369  

z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15  

z = (-17 + 37) : 30  

z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3  

z" = (-17 - 37) : 30  

z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8

Pam bought 20 pieces of fruit for her class.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O=number of oranges and A=number of apples.

O+A=20

O=20-A

1.25A+0.95O=22.60, using O found above makes this become

1.25A+0.95(20-A)=22.60

1.25A+19-0.95A=22.60

0.3A+19=22.60

0.3A=3.6

A=12, since O=20-A

O=20-12

O=8

So she bought 8 oranges and 12 apples. The question really only asks for the number of apples bought.

12 apples were bought.

If you shift the exponential parent function, f(x) = 2^x , right 2 units, what is the equation of the new function?
aev [14]

Answer:

g(x)=2^{x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Translations</u>

For a > 0

f(x+a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units left}

f(x-a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units right}

f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}

f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}

Parent function:  f(x)=2^x

Translated 2 units right:  g(x)=f(x-2)=2^{x-2}
