Answer:

4/25 = 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest stick must be between 0 and 5/3.  The probability that it is longer than 1 is therefore:

(5/3 − 1) / (5/3 − 0)

(2/3) / (5/3)

2/5

So the probability that both of the shortest sticks are longer than 1 is (2/5)² = 4/25.

Answer:

Point(9,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point: (6,3)

Required

Translate 2 units down and 3 units left

Taking the translation 1 after other

When a function is translated down, only the y axis is affected;

2 units down implies that, 2 be subtracted from the y value.

The function becomes

Point: (6, 3 - 2)

Point: (6, 1)

3 units right implies that, 3 be added tothe x value.

The function becomes

Point(3+6,1)

Point(9,1)

Hence;

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Use definition of conditional probability:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)},

where

A = the student is a freshman,

B = the student is a male

From the table,

P(B)=\dfrac{4+6+2+2}{4+6+2+2+3+4+6+3}=\dfrac{14}{30}=\dfrac{7}{15}\\ \\P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{4}{4+6+2+2+3+4+6+3}=\dfrac{4}{30}=\dfrac{2}{15}

So,

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\frac{2}{15}}{\frac{7}{15}}=\dfrac{2}{7}\approx 0.29=29\%
