Answer:
0.4054 = 40.54% probability of selecting a black sock on the second draw given that a black sock was selected on the first draw
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Black sock on the first draw.
Event B: Black sock on the second draw.
The probability of selecting a black sock on the first draw is 8/19.
This means that
Black socks on both draws:
The probability of selecting two black socks is 120/703
This means that
What is the probability of selecting a black sock on the second draw given that a black sock was selected on the first draw?
0.4054 = 40.54% probability of selecting a black sock on the second draw given that a black sock was selected on the first draw
Answer:
The solution would be C. (2, -4)
Step-by-step explanation: Equation: 2y = -3x - 2
1. (2, -3)
2(-3) = -3(2) - 2
-6 = -6 - 2
-6 = -8 (Not a solution)
2. (-3, 2)
2(2) = -3(-3) - 2
4 = 9 - 2
4 = 7 (Not a solution)
3. (2, -4)
2(-4) = -3(2) - 2
-8 = -6 - 2
-8 = -8 (Solution)
4. (-4, 2)
2(2) = -4(-4) - 2
4 = 12 - 2
4 = 10 (Not a solution)
Answer: m = -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.
(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7
(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2
If we plug all the values in, we get:
m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel
m = (5)/(-8)
m = -5/8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the heights of women are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = heights of women.
µ = mean height
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 65 inches
σ = 2.5 inches
The probability that a woman is taller than 70 inches is expressed as
P(x > 70) = 1 - P(x ≤ 70)
For x = 70
z = (70 - 65)/2.5 = 2
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.977
Therefore,
P(x > 70) = 1 - 0.977 = 0.023
The percent of women that are taller than a man of average height is 0.023 × 100 = 2.3℅
