r roll and have a part-time job. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest whole percent) that a randomly selected student is on the honor roll, given that the student has a part-time job?

Let
A = event that the student is on the honor roll
B = event that the student has a part-time job
C = event that the student is on the honor roll and has a part-time job

We are given
P(A) = 0.40
P(B) = 0.60
P(C) = 0.22
note: P(C) = P(A and B)

We want to find out P(A|B) which is "the probability of getting event A given that we know event B is true". This is a conditional probability

P(A|B) = [P(A and B)]/P(B)
P(A|B) = P(C)/P(B)
P(A|B) = 0.22/0.6
P(A|B) = 0.3667 which is approximate

Convert this to a percentage to get roughly 36.67% and this rounds to 37%

Final Answer: 37%

With or without tiles simplify and solve each equation below for x. record your work. a.3x-7=2
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<u>x=3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a+c=b+c

3x-7=2

add 7 both sides of an equation.

3x-7+7=2+7

simplify.

3x=9

divide by 3 both sides of an equation.

3x/3=9/3

simplify.

9/3=3

3*3=9

9/3=3

<u>x=3 and 3=x</u>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
