Conditional probability means that the action is subject to a condition, that it can only happen if some condition is met. So D is the answer. None of the others imposes any condition being met.

Answer:

Option 4 - (Probability of hitting a home run, given that you didn't strike out) is a conditional probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability -

The probability of event A under the condition of event B.

or, it is a measure of probability of an event given that the another event has occurred.

1) Probability of getting an A on a test - No other event happen in this case therefore, it is not a conditional probability.

2) Probability of drawing a club from a deck of 52 cards - No other event happen in this case therefore, it is not a conditional probability.

3) Probability of hitting a home run - No other event happen in this case therefore, it is not a conditional probability.

4) Probability of hitting a home run, given that you didn't strike out- It is a conditional probability because event (hitting a home run) is happened under the condition that you didn't strike out. (By definition)

Therefore, option 4 is the example of conditional probability.

Which equation represents y = −x2 + 6x + 7 in vertex form? y = −(x + 3)2 + 4 y = −(x − 3)2 + 10 y = −(x + 3)2 + 2 y = −(x − 3)2

$\text{The vertex form:}\ y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\to h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-x^2+6x+7\to f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\\\a=-1,\ b=6,\ c=7\\\\h=\dfrac{-6}{2(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3\\\\k=f(3)=-3^2+6(3)+7=-9+18+7=16\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{y=-(x-3)^2+16}$
