Mark A machine has two parts labeled A and B. The probability that part A works for one year is 0.8 and the probability that par

t B works for one year is 0.6. The probability that at least one part works for one year is 0.9. Calculate the probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

Answer:

0.625 = 62.5% probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

The probability that part A works for one year is 0.8 and the probability that part B works for one year is 0.6.

This means that P(A) = 0.8, P(B) = 0.6

The probability that at least one part works for one year is 0.9.

This means that: P(A \cup B) = 0.9

We also have that:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

So

0.9 = 0.8+0.6 - P(A \cap B)

P(A \cap B) = 0.5

Calculate the probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.5}{0.8} = 0.625

0.625 = 62.5% probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

HELP PLEASE 50 points !!! Given a polynomial function describe the effects on the Y intercept, region where the graph is incre
Gwar [14]

Even function:

A function is said to be even if its graph is symmetric with respect to the , that is:

Odd function:

A function is said to be odd if its graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, that is:

So let's analyze each question for each type of functions using examples of polynomial functions. Thus:

FOR EVEN FUNCTIONS:

1. When  becomes  

1.1 Effects on the y-intercept

We need to find out the effects on the y-intercept when shifting the function  into:

We know that the graph  intersects the y-axis when , therefore:

So:

So the y-intercept of  is one unit less than the y-intercept of

1.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing

Given that you are shifting the graph downward on the y-axis, there is no any effect on the intervals of the domain. The function  increases and decreases in the same intervals of

1.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.

The function is shifted one unit downward, so each point of  has the same x-coordinate but the output is one unit less than the output of . Thus, each point will be sketched as:

FOR ODD FUNCTIONS:

2. When  becomes  

2.1 Effects on the y-intercept

In this case happens the same as in the previous case. The new y-intercept is one unit less. So the graph is shifted one unit downward again.

An example is shown in Figure 1. The graph in blue is the function:

and the function in red is:

So you can see that:

2.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing

The effects are the same just as in the previous case. So the new function increases and decreases in the same intervals of

In Figure 1 you can see that both functions increase at:

and decrease at:

2.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.

It happens the same, the output is one unit less than the output of . So, you can write the points just as they were written before.

So you can realize this concept by taking a point with the same x-coordinate of both graphs in Figure 1.

FOR EVEN FUNCTIONS:

3. When  becomes  

3.1 Effects on the y-intercept

We need to find out the effects on the y-intercept when shifting the function  into:

As we know, the graph  intersects the y-axis when , therefore:

And:

So the new y-intercept is the negative of the previous intercept shifted one unit upward.

3.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing

In the intervals when the function  increases, the function  decreases. On the other hand, in the intervals when the function  decreases, the function  increases.

3.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.

Each point of the function  has the same x-coordinate just as the function  and the y-coordinate is the negative of the previous coordinate shifted one unit upward, that is:

FOR ODD FUNCTIONS:

4. When  becomes  

4.1 Effects on the y-intercept

In this case happens the same as in the previous case. The new y-intercept is the negative of the previous intercept shifted one unit upward.

4.2. Effects on the regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing

In this case it happens the same. So in the intervals when the function  increases, the function  decreases. On the other hand, in the intervals when the function  decreases, the function  increases.

4.3 The end behavior when the following changes are made.

Similarly, each point of the function  has the same x-coordinate just as the function  and the y-coordinate is the negative of the previous coordinate shifted one unit upward.

Angle math Hw. Pls help
timurjin [86]

Answer:

x = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that "x + 115" and 160° are vertically opposite angles, which means that they are equal. (Refer to image)

⇒ x + 115 = 160

⇒ x = 160 - 115

⇒ x = 45°
