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

With or without tiles simplify and solve each equation below for x. record your work. a.3x-7=2
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<u>x=3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a+c=b+c

3x-7=2

add 7 both sides of an equation.

3x-7+7=2+7

simplify.

3x=9

divide by 3 both sides of an equation.

3x/3=9/3

simplify.

9/3=3

3*3=9

9/3=3

<u>x=3 and 3=x</u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Determine the value of s, the arc length (measured in inches) cut off in a circle with a radius of 3.4 inches by an angle with a
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Arc length s = 15.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that length of an arc that subtends an angle θ radians at the center is given by

s=r\times \Theta

where

r is the radius of the circle

θ  is the angle subtended in radians

Thus applying values we get s=3.4\times \ 4.5radians

thus s = 15.3 inches

Solve by factoring. p⁴=-25p²​
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

p=5i

Step-by-step explanation:

(p^(4)=-25p^(2))/p^(2)

p^(2)=-25

Square root both sides

p=5i

i is the square root of -1, so 5i is five times that much.

The square root of a negative number in not real. That is why it is i, and not a number.

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)

By substitution:

5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)

Distribute:

10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0

And factor:

\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
