Let
x---------> <span>The probability that a student takes Spanish 
y-------> </span><span>the probability that a student takes Drivers Education given that the Student is taking Spanish
z-------> </span><span>The probability that a student at school takes Drivers Education and Spanish 

we know that
z=x*y------> solve for y
y=z/x
z=87/1000
x=68/100
substitute
y=(87/1000)/(68/100)-----------> y=87/680

the answer is
87/680</span>

Answer: The probability is P = 0.128

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

The probability of a student to take drivers education and Spanish is 87/1000.

The probability that a student takes Spanish is 68/100.

Now, remember that if for event 1 we have the probability p1, and for event 2 we have the probability p2, the probability of both events happening is:

P = p1*p2

This is the case for the student that takes the two classes, but when we assume that the student takes Spanish, we can remove the probability of that event (because we are already looking at the 68/100 of the cases where the student selected Spanish)

So given that a student is tanking Spanish, the probability of him to take drivers ed is:

(Probability of both classes)/(probability of tanking Spanish)

P = (87/1000)*(100/68) = 0.128

If the product of the integers a, b, and c is 1, then what is the difference between the largest and the smallest possible
stepladder [879]
Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with

it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.

a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1

we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
 (we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two

1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2

The answer should be D: 2

What is y=4/5x+2 written in standard form
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

4x-5y=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in standard form is in the form

Ax + By = C

where

A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers

In this problem we have

y=\frac{4}{5}x+2 ----> equation of the line in slope intercept form

Convert to standard form

Multiply by 5 both sides

5y=4x+10

4x-5y=-10
