Answer:

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

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: Foreign

Event B: Undergraduate.

There are four times as many undergraduates as graduate students

So 4/5 = 80% are undergraduate students and 1/5 = 20% are graduate students.

Probability the student is foreign:

10% of 80%

25% of 20%. So

P(A) = 0.1*0.8 + 0.25*0.2 = 0.13

Probability that a student is foreign and undergraduate:

10% of 80%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.1*0.8 = 0.08

What is the probability that the student is an undergraduate?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.13} = 0.6154

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

Maggie needs to spend at least six hours each week practicing the piano. She has already practiced 3
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

t ≥ 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take time for practicing the piano to be t

The number of hours to practice per week should be at least 6 hours

This is written as t ≥ 6

She already practiced 3 hours this week, thus the remaining hours to practice should be

t ≥ 3

The minimum remaining hours to practice for the remaining 2 days should be

t=3

If these hours are evenly divided, then in a single day she should practice

for t ≥ 1.5

Solve for y for both equations then equate and solve:

5x + 9y = 160
9y = 160 - 5x
y = 160/9 - 5/9x

9x + 8y = 202
8y = 202 - 9x
y = 202/8 - 9/8x

160/9 - 5/9x = 202/8 - 9/8x (common denominator is 72)

1280/72 - 40/72x = 1818/72 - 81/72x
1818/72 - 1280/72 = 81/72x - 40/72x
538/72 = 41/72x
538 = 41x
538/41 = x
x = 13 5/41
