Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

32=3x-4+x

32=4x-4

+4       +4

36=4x

/4   /4

9=x

Larger #= 3x-4

Larger #= 3(9)-4

Larger #= 27-4

larger #= 23

Gas mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of a car​ (as well as with highway vs. city​ driving). Suppose your
natima [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the car mileage actually varies slightly with the driving speed of the car

Suppose your car averages 26 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 45 miles per​ hour,

and it averages 18 miles per gallon on the highway if your average speed is 65 miles per hour.

The driving time for a 2500​-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 54 miles per​ hour

= \frac{Distance}{Speed}  =  \frac{2500 }{45} \\\\= 55.56 hours.

The driving time for a 2500​-mile trip if you drive at an average speed of 65 miles per​ hour

= \frac{Distance}{Speed}  =  \frac{2500 }{65} \\\\= 38.46 hours.

Of the entering class at a​ college, ​% attended public high​ school, ​% attended private high​ school, and ​% were home schoole
Veronika [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b) The probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c) The probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Of the entering class at a college, 71% attended public high school, 21% attended private high school, and 8% were home schooled. Of those who attended public high school, 16% made the Dean's list, 19% of those who attended private high school made the Dean's list, and 15% of those who were home schooled made the Dean's list.

a) Find the probability that the student made the Dean's list.

b) Find the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list.

c) Find the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list.

Solution:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>A</em> = a student attended public high school

<em>B</em> = a student attended private high school

<em>C</em> = a student was home schooled

<em>D</em> = a student made the Dean's list

The provided information is as follows:

P (A) = 0.71

P (B) = 0.21

P (C) = 0.08

P (D|A) = 0.16

P (D|B) = 0.19

P (D|C) = 0.15

(a)

The law of total probability states that:

P(X)=\sum\limits_{i} P(X|Y_{i})\cdot P(Y_{i})

Compute the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list as follows:

P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|C)P(C)

         =(0.16\times 0.71)+(0.19\times 0.21)+(0.15\times 0.08)\\=0.1136+0.0399+0.012\\=0.1655

Thus, the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b)

Compute the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D)}

             =\frac{0.21\times 0.19}{0.1655}\\\\=0.2410876\\\\\approx 0.2411

Thus, the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c)

Compute the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list as follows:

P(C^{c}|D^{c})=1-P(C|D^{c})

               =1-\frac{P(D^{c}|C)P(C)}{P(D^{c})}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-P(D|C))\times P(C)}{1-P(D)}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-0.15)\times 0.08}{(1-0.1655)}\\\\=1-0.0815\\\\=0.9185

Thus, the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.
