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.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Each of them spent $9.35 on meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob and his three friends ordered an individual pizza and a drink for $6.19.

Total cost of pizza and drink = 6.19 × 4

= $24.76  

They also ordered bread sticks for $4.25

Tax on the bill was = $2.39

Tip amount was = $1.50×4 = $6.0

So the total billed amount will be = 24.76 + 4.25 + 2.39 + 6

= $37.4

Since there were four persons including Jacob.

Therefore, each person spend on meal = \frac{37.40}{4}

= $9.35

Plz help me with this
goldenfox [79]
Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.

PLEASE HELP ME EXPLAIN THE ANSWER
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

  See the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequalities resolve to ...

  x ≥ 1 or x ≤ -3

You have chosen the correct placement of the lines on the number line. The "or equal to" symbol (≥ or ≤) means the dots at -3 and +1 are filled in, indicating those numbers are part of the solution.

If the ">" or "<" symbol is used in the inequality, the dot is left open, as in the answer you selected. The open dot indicates that value is not part of the solution set.
