Answer:
0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Red ball
Event B: From box A.
Probability of a red ball:
3/10 = 0.3 of 1/2 = 0.5(box A)
6/10 = 0.6 of 1/2 = 0.5(box B). So
Probability of a red ball from box A:
0.3 of 0.5, so:
What is the probability that this red ball is from box A?
0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.
The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
![\begin{gathered} 14^2=9^2+x^2 \\ 196=81+x^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 196 - 81 = 115} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{115} \\ x\text{ = 10.72} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%2014%5E2%3D9%5E2%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20196%3D81%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20x%5E2%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20196%20-%2081%20%3D%20115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%2010.72%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
Answer: B. 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.
x + y = 9.9
The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink
x = 3.5y
Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing
3.5y + y = 9.9 <-- That's the equation :)
I’m really not to sure sorry about that
