Answer:

53,901

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question :

In which number does the digit 5 have a value that is ten times greater than the value of the digit 5 in the number 245,093?

43,567

45,248

53,901

562,011

In the number 245,093 :

3 = units

9 = tens

0 = hundred

5 = thousand

4 = ten thousand

2 = hundred thousand

the value of 5 in the number is 5000. the number that would have a value that it 10 times greater than 5 in 245,093 must occupy the value of ten thousand.

looking through the options, it is only in 53,901 that 5 occupies a value of ten thousand

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

Answer:

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

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: Positive reading

Event B: Contains raritanium

Probability of a positive reading:

98% of 13%(positive when there is raritanium).

0.5% of 100-13 = 87%(false positive, positive when there is no raritanium). So

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 + 0.005*0.87 = 0.13175$

Positive when there is raritanium:

98% of 13%

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 = 0.1274$

What is the probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1274}{0.13175} = 0.967$

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

Answer:

Predicted value YHat is a symbol used to represent the predicted equation for a line of best fit in a linear regression. The equation usually take the form of 'a' as the y- intercept and 'b' as the slope of the graph. It is calculated from estimated regression equations for the line of best fit.

69.6% of all full-time law enforcement officers are sworn officers, and of those, 88.2% were males. Females, however, make up 60

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The probability that he or she is a male or a civilian employee is 1.037068

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of sworn officers = 0.696

Probability of civilians = 1 - 0.696 = 0.304

Probability of male sworn officers = 0.882*0.696 = 0.6139

Probability of male civilian = (0.304*(1-0.608)) = 0.1192

Hence probability that he or she is a male or civilian employee is

0.6139 + 0.1192 + 0.304 = 1.037068
