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%

Mai wants to make a scale drawing of her kitchen. Her kitchen is a rectangle with length 6 m and width 2 m. She decides on a sca
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Length of scale = 15 cm

Width of scale = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the kitchen of Mai are given as:

Length of kitchen = 6 m

Width of kitchen = 2 m

Scale to be used = 1 to 40

To find:

The drawing with labeling and dimensions of the scale drawing.

Solution:

First of all, let us understand about the concept of scaling.

Scaling is a method to represent big structures on paper.

For this purpose, we decide a scaling factor and draw the big structures on paper by scaling down (making it small) by using a scaling factor.

Here, the scale factor used is 1 to 40.

i.e. 1 unit on scale is equivalent to 40 units on the actual kitchen.

40 units of kitchen = 1 unit of scale

1 unit of kitchen = \frac{1}{40} units of scale

6 m of kitchen = \frac{1}{40}\times 6\ m = \frac{600}{40}\ cm = 15\ cm

Length of scale = <em>15 cm</em>

40 units of kitchen = 1 unit of scale

1 unit of kitchen = \frac{1}{40} units of scale

2 m of kitchen = \frac{1}{40}\times 2\ m = \frac{200}{40}\ cm = 5\ cm

Width of scale = <em>5 cm</em>

<em></em>

Please refer to the attached image as well for representation of given scale.

Sally is having a problem with her puppy leaving the yard so she decides to build a new fence. The length of the yard is 10 feet
Cerrena [4.2K]

The length of the yard is 25ft.

In order to find this we first need to set up variables for the length and the width. Since we don't know anything about the width, we'll set it as x. Then, we know the length is equal to ten more than three times the width. Since the width is x, we can write the length as 3x + 10. Now we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x.

2l + 2w = P

2(3x + 10) + 2(x) = 60

6x + 20 + 2x = 60

8x + 20 = 60

8x = 40

x = 5

Now that we have a value for x, we can plug into the length equation and find the length.

3x + 10

3(5) + 10

15 + 10
