A job fair was held at the Student Union. 25% of the students who attended received job offers. Of all of the students at the jo

b fair, 40% were from the College of Business. Among these business students, 50% received job offers. Let J be the event that a student is offered a job. Let B be the event that the student is from the College of Business.
Requried:
a. Are events J and B independent? Why or why not?
b. Are events J and B mutually exclusive? Why or why not?
c. Joe, who is not a business student, attended the job fair. What is the probability that he received a job offer?
d. Another student, Samantha, received a job offer. What is the probability that she is a Business student?

Answer:

A) Both events are not independent.

B) Both events are not mutually exclusive

C) 8.33%

D) 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Both events are not independent. This is because, If B occurs it means that it is very likely that J will occur as well.

B) Both events are not mutually exclusive. This is because it is possible for both events J and B to occur at the same time.

C) we want to find the probability that Joe who is not a business student will receive the job offer.

This is;

P(J|Not B) = P(J & Not B)/P(Not B)

Now,

P(J & Not B) = P(J) – (P(B) × P(J | B))

25% of the students who attended received job offers. Thus; P(J) = 0.25

40% were from the College of Business. Thus;

P(B) = 0.4

Among the business students, 50% received job offers. Thus;

P(J|B) = 0.5

Thus;

P(J & Not B) = 0.25 - (0.4 × 0.5)

P(J & Not B) = 0.25 - 0.2

P(J & Not B) = 0.05

Since P(B) = 0.4

Then, P(Not B) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Thus;

P(J|Not B) = 0.05/0.6

P(J|Not B) = 0.0833 = 8.33%

D) This probability is represented by;

P(B | J) = P(B & J)/P(J)

P(B & J) = (P(B) × P(J | B)) = (0.4 × 0.5) = 0.2

P(B | J) = 0.2/0.25

P(B | J) = 0.8 = 80%

Help me on the first question pls
Margaret [11]
To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.

Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.

Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.

Suppose g(m) varies inversely with M and g (m) = 3.5 when m = 10.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

m =7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the constant number = k.

g(m) = k/m,

3.5 = k/10,

k = 35.

Thus, when g(m) = 5 = 35/m, m = 7.

A salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales. Which inequality correctly represents the total sales if th
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. x\geq 55000

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let x be the total monthly sales.

We have been given that a salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales. The salesperson want to have a monthly income of at least $1800.  

This means that 700 plus 2% of total monthly sales should be greater than or equal to 1800. We can represent this information in an equation as:

700+(\frac{2}{100})x\geq 1800

700+0.02x\geq 1800

Let us solve our inequality to find the monthly sales (x).

Subtract 700 from both sides of our inequality.

700-700+0.02x\geq 1800-700

0.02x\geq 1100

Divide both sides of inequality by 0.02.

\frac{0.02x}{0.02}\geq \frac{1100}{0.02}

x\geq \frac{1100}{0.02}

x\geq 55000

Therefore, the total monthly sales must be greater than or equal to 55,000 and option C is the correct choice.
