Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x = \frac{5.7}{2}$

Required

Solve

We have

$x = \frac{5.7}{2}$

Using a calculator

$x = 2.85$

Approximate

Craig is designing a new cylinder-shaped can for a pet food company. He wants the height of the can to be 40 mm and the radius o

devlian [24]

The height of the can for this case is given by:
h = 40 mm
The radius of the can is given by:
r = (1 3/8) * h
Substituting values:
r = (1 3/8) * 40
r = 55 mm
Therefore, the diameter of the can is:
d = 2 * r
d = 2 * 55
d = 110 mm
Answer:
The diameter of the can will be:
d = 110 mm

Of the entering class at a college, % attended public high school, % attended private high school, and % were home schoole

Veronika [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the student made the Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b) The probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c) The probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Of the entering class at a college, 71% attended public high school, 21% attended private high school, and 8% were home schooled. Of those who attended public high school, 16% made the Dean's list, 19% of those who attended private high school made the Dean's list, and 15% of those who were home schooled made the Dean's list.

a) Find the probability that the student made the Dean's list.

b) Find the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list.

c) Find the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list.

Solution:

Denote the events as follows:

A = a student attended public high school

B = a student attended private high school

C = a student was home schooled

D = a student made the Dean's list

The provided information is as follows:

P (A) = 0.71

P (B) = 0.21

P (C) = 0.08

P (D|A) = 0.16

P (D|B) = 0.19

P (D|C) = 0.15

(a)

The law of total probability states that:

$P(X)=\sum\limits_{i} P(X|Y_{i})\cdot P(Y_{i})$

Compute the probability that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

$P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|C)P(C)$

$=(0.16\times 0.71)+(0.19\times 0.21)+(0.15\times 0.08)\\=0.1136+0.0399+0.012\\=0.1655$

Thus, the probability that the student made the Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b)

Compute the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

$P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D)}$

$=\frac{0.21\times 0.19}{0.1655}\\\\=0.2410876\\\\\approx 0.2411$

Thus, the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c)

Compute the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list as follows:

$P(C^{c}|D^{c})=1-P(C|D^{c})$

$=1-\frac{P(D^{c}|C)P(C)}{P(D^{c})}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-P(D|C))\times P(C)}{1-P(D)}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-0.15)\times 0.08}{(1-0.1655)}\\\\=1-0.0815\\\\=0.9185$

Thus, the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for, but here are your options. If you need a perfect square, I'd go for the 12 and 12, but I hope this helps?
