Answer:
i) Probability that both candidates employed are women = 5/14
ii) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = 5/8
iii) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the probability that a man is employed be P(M) = 3/8
Probability that a woman is employed P(W) = 5/8
a) Probability that both candidates employed are women = (5/8) × (4/7) = 5/14
b) Probability that the second candidate is a woman = (probability that first candidate is a man and second candidate is a woman) + (probability that first candidate is a woman & second candidate is a woman)
= (3/8)(5/7) + (5/8)(4/7) = (15/56) + (20/56) = 35/56 = 5/8
c) Probability that the first candidate is a woman given that second one is a woman
Given that the second candidate was a women, means that the first candidate-women was selected among other four women.
Probability = (4/8)/(5/8) = 4/5
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
-9+x = -14
Add 9 to each side

Answer:
(x+6)(x−6)=0
x=-6 or x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 - 36 = 0
Solve by Square Root
add 36 both sides
x^2−36+36=0+36
x^2=36
square root
x=±√36
x=6 or x=−6
You can do that or for 2nd option
Solve by factoring
x^2-36=0
(x+6)(x−6)=0
Set factors equal to 0
x+6=0 or x−6=0
x=-6 or x=6
PLEASE NOTE: 36 is the square of 6
and
x2 is the square of x1
