Professors often attempt to determine if the submissions by the students are genuine or copied off the web sources. The program

that performs this task is only 95 % accurate in correctly identifying a genuine submission and 80% accurate in correctly identifying copies. Based on the past statistics, 15% of the student turned in copied work. If a work is identified as a copy by the program, what is the probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work.

Answer:

0.7385 = 73.85% probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Identified as a copy

Event B: Is a copy

Probability of being identified as a copy:

80% of 15%(copy)

100 - 95 = 5% of 100 - 15 = 85%(not a copy). So

P(A) = 0.8*0.15 + 0.05*0.85 = 0.1625

Probability of being identified as a copy and being a copy.

80% of 15%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.8*0.15 = 0.12

What is the probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.12}{0.1625} = 0.7385

0.7385 = 73.85% probability that it is indeed a sample of copied work.

Prove this identity sin(2A)=2sinAcosA.
34kurt
The solution for proving the identity is as follows:

sin(2A) = sin(A + A) 
As sin(a + b) = sinacosb + sinbcosa, 
<span>sin(A + A) = sinAcosA + sinAcosA 
</span>
<span>Therefore, sin(2A) = 2sinAcosA

In the diagram, angle 1 = 4x + 30, and angle 3 = 2x +48.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Since we have the information for Angles 1 and 3, and they are vertical, we can set them equal to each other. Once we have done this we can find the measures of them combined, and subtract it from 360 in order to only have the measure of 2 and its vertical angle. Finally, all we need to do now is divide the remaining measure by 2, and this will give us the measure of angle 2.

Angle 1=Angle 3

4x+30=2x+48

2x+30=48

2x=18

x=9

Angle 1=4(9)+30

Angle 1=36+30

Angle 1=66

Angle 1=Angle 3

Angle 1+ Angle 3=132

360-132=228

228/2=114

Angle 2= 114
