x + 4 = 15
- 4 -4
x = 11
You would subtract 4 because you need to isolate the x to get the value of x. You would subtract it to both sides because whatever you do on one side, you have to do it to the other side.
A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
Answer:1 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3+1/3+2/3=5/3=1 2/3
Answer:
its the first answer choice!
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
Given :
The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.
The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.
<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>
Now, let's get these into an equation.
<em>Peter's equation</em> :
... 2p + 5s = 61
<em>Jessica's equation : </em>
...3p + 4s = 67
......................................................................................................
2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)
3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)
Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.
6p + 15s = 183
6p + 8s = 134
S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>
... 7s = 49
Divide both sides with 7.
... s = 7
<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>
Hope my answer helps!!
