To graduate this semester, you must pass Statistics 314; and you estimate that you have an 85% chance of passing. You need to pa

ss Math 272 or Math 444, each of which you have an 80% chance of passing: so you will take both in hopes that you will pass at least one. Further, you must pass German 320, which you believe you have a 90% chance of passing. Assuming your chances of passing each class you take are independent, what is your probability of graduating this semester

Answer:

Probability of graduating this semester is 0.7344

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

let A represent passing STAT-314

B represent passing at least in MATH-272 or MATH-444

M1 represent passing in MATH-272

M2 represent passing in MATH-444

C represent  passing GERMAN-32

now

P( A ) = 0.85, P( C ) = 90, P( M1 ) = P( M2 ) = 0.8

P( B ) = P( pass at least one of either MATH-272 or MATH-444 ) = P( pass in MATH-272 but not MATH-444 ) + ( pass in MATH-444 but not in MATH 272) + P( pass both )

P( B ) =  P( M1 ) × ( 1 - P( M2 ) ) + ( 1 - P( M1 ) ) × P( M2 ) + P( M1 ) × P( M2 )

we substitute

⇒ 0.8×0.2 + 0.2×0.8 + 0.8×0.8 = 0.16 + 0.16 + 0.64 = 0.96

∴ the probability of graduating this semester will be;

⇒ P( A ) × P( B ) × P( C )

we substitute

⇒ 0.85 × 0.96 × 90

⇒ 0.7344

Probability of graduating this semester is 0.7344

A card is drawn from a​ well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of drawing a diamond or a spade.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

For a deck of card

Total cards = 52

Total spade = 4

Total diamond = 4

pr(drawing a spade) = number of spade/total cards

pr(drawing a spade) = 4/52 = 1/13

pr(drawing a diamond)  = 4/52 = 1/13

Pr(diamond or a spade) = 1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13

What is the x-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:5?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Second option is correct. The x-coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:5 is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given graph  it is noticed that the endpoints of the line segment JK are J(-6,-2) and K(8,-9).

The formula to find x intercept.

x=\frac{m}{m+n}(x_2-x_1)+x_1

The ratio is 2:5, therefore the value of m is 2 and the value of n is 5.

x=\frac{2}{2+5}(8-(-6))+(-6)

x=\frac{2}{7}(14)-6

x=4-6

x=-2

Therefore the x-coordinate is -2 and second option is correct.

What is the correct equation in Slope-Intercept Form?<br> (y = mx +b)
olganol [36]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
