Answer:
a) 2.9%
b) Option B is correct.
The prisoners must be independent with regard to recidivism.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability that one prisoner goes back to prison = 17% = 0.17
a) The probability that two prisoners released both go back to prison = 0.17 × 0.17 = 0.0289 = 2.89% = 2.9% to 1 d.p
b) The only assumption taken during the calculation is that probability of one of the prisoners going back to prison has no effect whatsoever in the probability that another prisoner goes back to prison. That is the probability that theses two events occur are totally independent of each other.
If they weren't, we wouldn't be able to use 0.17 as the probability that the other prisoner goes back to prison too.
Answer:
2 groups
Step-by-step explanation:
if you divide 350 by two you get 175 verses the others you get decimals
A= a^2+2a\square root{\frac{a^2}{4}}+h^2
a=base=8
h=height=7
A=surface area
A=177
