Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= -5x+20

You go 3 steps to the left to the origin, and because the slope is-5 you add 3 times 5 to the y-value

Suppose that 80 percent of all statisticians are shy, whereas only 15 percent of all economists are shy. Suppose also that 90 pe

Answer:

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

An 80% probability that a statistican is shy.

A 15% probability that an economist is shy.

At the gathering, a 90% probability that a person is an economist.

At the gathering, a 10% probability that a person is a statistican.

If you meet a shy person at random at the gathering. What is the probability that the person is a statistician?

This can be formulated as the following question:

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.

What is the probability that the person is a statistican, given that he is shy?

P(B) is the probability of the person being a statistican. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability of a statistican being shy, so P(A/B) = 0.8.

P(A) is the probability of a person being a shy. This is 15% of 90%(economists) and 80% of 10%(statisticans). So

$P(A) = 0.15*0.9 + 0.8*0.1 = 0.215$

Finally

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

$P = \frac{0.1*0.8}{0.215} = 0.3721$

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Which equation does not represent a direct variation?

tatuchka [14]

Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.

A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:

The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies

The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.

Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.

This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.

This leaves C as the odd one out.

I hope this helps you :)
