The odds against Ishaq getting hired for a job are 17:18. Determine the probability

Mathematics

Fantom [35]2 years ago

Answer:

The odds against Ishaq getting hired are 17:18

This means that are 17 scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired, out of 18 total scenarios.

This means that the left scenario is when Ishaq gets hired, then the odds of Ishaq getting hired is equal to 1:18.

a) We want to find the probability that Ishaq gets hired.

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq gets hired (1) and the total number of scenarios (18).

Then this probability is

P = 1/18 = 0.056

b) We want to find the probability where Ishaq does not get hired, we can use the same reasoning as above, this time we will take the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired (17) and the total number of scenarios (18).

P = 17/18 = 0.944

If the following system of equations was written as a matrix equation in the form AX = C, and matrix A was expressed in the form
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: a-b+c+d =4


Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equation is

2x+8y=7\\4x-2y=9

from this we have the following matrices

A_1 =\begin{bmatrix}\\2 &8 \\ \\4&2 \\\end{bmatrix}\ ,X=\begin{bmatrix}\\x\\ \\y\\\end{bmatrix}\text{and}\ C=\begin{bmatrix}\\7\\ \\9\\\end{bmatrix}

the given matrix A =\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}

On comparing Matrix  A_1 with Matrix A

\begin{bmatrix}\\a &c \\ \\b &d \\\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}\\2&8 \\ \\4 &-2 \\\end{bmatrix}

we have the following values

a=2 ,b=4,c=8,d=-2

Thus a-b+c+d =2-4+8+(-2)=4
