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

Paul is three times as old as Mary and Peter is four times as old as Mary,If the sum of their ages is 64, how old are Peter,Paul
uysha [10]
Let Mary's age be x.

Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.

Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.

The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8

Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24

Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32

Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.

Hope this helps~

Orlov [11]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 x: amount of time Miguel uses to complete the task.
 y: amount of time Maria uses to complete the task.
 We write the system of equations:
 x + y = 60
 y = (1/2) x
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 40 minutes
 y = 20 minutes
 Answer:

Helppp me please !!!!!!!
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a cylinder, you find the area of the circular base and multiply it by the height. Remember that the area of a circle is pi*r^2. R, the radius, is 2. Putting this into a calculator and rounding to the nearest tenth, you get 12.6. Now that we have the circle, we multiply by the height. Since the height is 1, we have our answer of 12.6.
