Molodets [167]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The data for the student enrollment at a college in Southern California is:

Traditional Accelerated Total

Math-pathway Math-pathway

Female 1244 116 1360

Male 1054 54 1108

Total 2298 170 2468

We want to determine if the probability that a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of whether the student is female. Which of the following pairs of probabilities is not a useful comparison?

a. 1360/2468 and 116/170

b. 170/2468 and 116/1360

c. 1360/2468 and 170/2468

Solution:

If two events A and B are independent then:

$P(A|B)=P(A)\\\\\&\\\\P(B|A)=P(B)$

In this case we need to determine whether a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of the student being a female.

Consider the following probabilities:

$P (F|A) = \farc{116}{170}\\\\P(A|F)=\frac{116}{1360}\\\\P(A)=\frac{170}{2468}\\\\P(F)=\frac{1360}{2468}$

If the two events are independent then:

P (F|A) = P(F)

&

P (A|F) = P (A)

But what would not be a valid comparison is:

P (A) = P(F)

Thus, the correct option is (c).

Kelly inherits land which had a basis to the decedent of $95,000 and a fair market value of $50,000 on August 4, 2018, the date

Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Her recognized loss is ($1,000)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The basis of the land to the decedent = $95,000

The land's market value on 4th of August 2018 when the decedent died = $50,000

The alternate valuation date = 6 months + The date of death of the decedent = 4th February, 2019

The value filed by the executor on the tax return using the alternate valuation date = The market value of the estate on 4th of February 2019

The market value of the land on 4th of February 2019 = $45,000

∴ The value filed by the executor on the tax return using the alternate valuation date = $45,000

The value of the land on November 12, 2018 when the executor distributed the land to Kelly = $49,000

The value at which Kelly sells the land on June 10, 2019 = $48,000

Given that, recognized gain is the profit made from selling an asset based on the value of the asset when it was obtained, we have;

Kelly's recognized gain or loss = (The value at which Kelly sells the land) - (The value of the land when the executor distributed the land to Kelly)

Kelly's recognized gain or loss = $48,000 - $49,000 = -$1,000 = ($1,000)

Therefore, Kelly's recognized loss = ($1,000).

A party mix is made by adding nuts that sell for $2.50 per kg to a cereal mixture that sells for $1 per kg. How much of each sho

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The amount of nuts is 16 kg and cereal mixture is 44 kg to obtain 60 kg of a mix that will sell for $1.40 per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=nuts at $2.50 per kg

y=cereal at $1 per kg

x+y=60 kg (1)

2.50x+y=1.40(60) (2)

From (1)

x=60-y

Substitute x=60-y into (2)

2.50x+y=1.40(60)

2.50(60-y)+y=84

150-2.5y+y=84

-1.5y=84-150

-1.5y=-66

Divide both sides by -1.5

y=44 kg

Substitute y=44 into (1)

x+y=60

x+44=60

x=60-44

=16

x=16 kg

Solve for X (5x-2)^2=17 please help me everyone.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}±\frac{\sqrt{17}}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(5x-2)^2=17 \\ 5x-2=±\sqrt{17} \\ 5x = 2 ± \sqrt{17} \\ x=\frac{2}{5}± \frac{\sqrt{17}}{5}$

Don't mind the $±$
