Line A, because it is closest to most data points

Hi!

The answer is Line A, because it is closest to most data points.

If you look at the graph, you can see the Line B is farther from the data points. The goal is to draw a straight line as close as possible to the data points, and Line A does that best!

Hope this helps! :)

Mark A machine has two parts labeled A and B. The probability that part A works for one year is 0.8 and the probability that par

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.625 = 62.5% probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

The probability that part A works for one year is 0.8 and the probability that part B works for one year is 0.6.

This means that $P(A) = 0.8, P(B) = 0.6$

The probability that at least one part works for one year is 0.9.

This means that: $P(A \cup B) = 0.9$

We also have that:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$

$0.9 = 0.8+0.6 - P(A \cap B)$

$P(A \cap B) = 0.5$

Calculate the probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.5}{0.8} = 0.625$

0.625 = 62.5% probability that part B works for one year, given that part A works for one year.

Determine if the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set. Justify your answer. Choose the correct answer below. A.

kondaur [170]

Th matrix is missing. The matrix is :

$\begin{bmatrix}1 &-4 &4 \\ -4 &16 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$

Solution :

The column of the matrix are $\begin{bmatrix}1\\ -4\end{bmatrix}$ , $\begin{bmatrix}-4\\ 16\end{bmatrix}$ , $\begin{bmatrix}4\\ 4\end{bmatrix}$

Now each of them are vectors in $IR^2$ . But $IR^2$ has dimensions of 2. But there are 3 column vectors, hence they are linearly dependent.

Therefore, the column of the given matrix does not form the $\text{linearly independent set}$ as the set contains $\text{more vectors}$ than there are entries in each vector.

Therefore, option (D) is correct.

A teacher student committee consisting of 4 people is to be formed from 5 teachers and 20 students. Find the probability that th

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

99.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

5 teachers

20 students

4 people in committee

=> the are 25 people in total

Hence, the total possible outcomes of all the members in the 4 committee:

$C^{4} _{25} = 12650$

They want us to find the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student, which means that

=(Total possible outcome - committee with no student) / Total possible outcomes

So we need to find the possible outcomes of committee with no student:

= $C^{4} _{5} =5$

=> the probability that the committee will consist of at least one student.

= (12650 - 5) / 12650

= 0.9996

= 99.96%

Hope it will find you well.

Set A contains 35 elements and set B contains 22 elements. If there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B) then how many elements are in (A

Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is shown below;

Given that

Set A contains 35 elements

And, set B contains 22 elements

Now if there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B)

So, the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is

= 35 + 22 - 40

= 17
