A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
Is john 16?
Since samantha is 48 and she is 2 times older than me, that means im 24 (48/2) and since 3 times older than john that means 48/3= 16. John is 16
Answer:
y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is either sine or cosine:
y = A sin(2π/T x) + C
y = A cos(2π/T x) + C
where A is the amplitude, T is the period, and C is the midline.
The midline is the average of the min and max:
C = (1 + -7) / 2
C = -3
The amplitude is half the difference between the min and max:
A = (1 − -7) / 2
A = 4
The maximum is at x = π, and the minimum is at x = 3π. The difference, 2π, is half the period. So T = 4π.
Plugging in, the options are:
y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3
y = 4 cos(½ x) − 3
Since the maximum is at x = π, this must be a sine wave.
y = 4 sin(½ x) − 3
