Answer:

The correct option is E) About 1 in a million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that one in a hundred million people is a genius.

Let G represents the Genius and Q represents the quirky.

We need to find the probability that someone is acting quirky- what is the probability that they are a genius.

The probability that person is quirky is: P(Q)=0.999\cdot0.00000001+0.01\cdot0.99999999

The probability of P(Q\cap G)=0.999\cdot0.00000001

Hence, the required probability is:

P(G|Q)=\frac{P(Q\cap G)}{P(Q)}

P(G|Q)=\frac{0.999\cdot0.00000001}{0.999\cdot0.00000001+0.01\cdot0.99999999}

P(G|Q)\approx 9.98999\times10^{-7}

Which is near about 1 in a million.

Hence, the correct option is E) About 1 in a million.

Use the matrix tool to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.3x + 5y = 42 6x + 5y = 54
kobusy [5.1K]
Solutions  

In Matrix we use initially based on systems of linear equations.The matrix method is similar to the method of Elimination as but is a lot cleaner than the elimination method.Solving systems of equations by Matrix Method involves expressing the system of equations in form of a matrix and then reducing that matrix into what is known as Row Echelon Form.<span> 

Calculations 

</span>⇒ <span>Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix 
</span>
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&42\\6&5&54\\\end{array}\right] 

⇒  Apply to Row₂ : Row₂ - 2 <span>Row₁ 
</span>
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&42\\0&-5&-30\\\end{array}\right] 

⇒ <span>Simplify rows
</span>
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&5&42\\0&1&6\\\end{array}\right] 

Note: The matrix is now in echelon form.

Answer:

X - 7 = - 3

X = - 3 + 7

X = 4

the 7 turns positive because it was moved to the other side of the symbol "=" so we reverse the sign
