This is question of probability finding using bayes theorem  
It is used to calculate probability of two competing statements 
now p(m) = .55 
p(~m)= .45 
now for basketball for male  
p(b|m)=.30
 and for female 
p(b|~m)=.20 
so by bayes theorem  
p(m|b)=p(b|m)*p(m)/(p(b|m)*p(m)+p(b|~m)*p(~m)) 
so answer is E 
(.55)(.30) / (.55)(.30) + (.45)(.20)

Hector, Sam, Ted, and Gina are comparing their savings. Hector saved twice as much money as Sam. Ted saved $100 more than Hector
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

2x+50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

           Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

           Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

As given, lets assume the amount of money Sam has in saving be "x".

Now, finding saving of each person given.

Writing the algebric expression of each´s saving amount.

we know, Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

∴ Hector saving= \$2x

Also, Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

∴ Ted´s saving= \$(2x+100)

Next finding Gina´s saving

As given, Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

∴ Gina´s saving= \$ (2x+100)-\$ 50

Opening parenthesis and solving it.

⇒ Gina´s saving= \$ 2x+\$50

Algebric expression of Gina´s saving= 2x+50

Solve 1/2cot(x)>=1/2 over 0<=x<=2pi
RSB [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

  cot(x) ≥ 1

The cotangent function decreases from ∞ to 1 in the domain (0, π/4], and again in the domain (π, 5π/4]. The solution is the union of these two intervals.

  x ∈ (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

_____

(a, b] is interval notation for a < x ≤ b

How to find the common denominator of two numbers?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Find the number that both can be divided by i.e. the common denominator of 56/8 is 8 because 56 is divisible by 8 and 8 is also divisible by 8.
so by finding the common denominator and dividing the fraction, the equation would look like this: 7/1

What does n = in 10=6+n/2
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

n = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

10=6+n/2

Switch sides

6 + n/2 = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 + n/2 -6 = 10-6

Simplify

n/2 = 4

Multiply both sides by 2

2n/2 = 4 times 2

n = 8

Hope this helps!
