Answer:

= 0.3478  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The number of sophomore, S = 150

- The sophomore and had summer internship, x = 80

- The number of juniors, J = 200

- The junior and had summer internship, y = 150

Find:-

What is the probability that the person is a sophomore given that the person had a summer internship?

Solution:-

- The total sum of sophomore and junior students is N:

                        N = S + J

                        N = 150 + 200

                        N = 350 students.

- We will denote event A as random selection of sophomore from total.

- We will denote event B as random selection of student who had summer internship.

- We are to determine the conditional probability that a person selected is sophomore given that the person had a summer internship. That is the probability of event A given that event B has already occured.

- The conditional probability can be written as:

                       P ( A / B ) = P ( A & B ) / P ( B )

Where,

       P ( A & B ) : The probability the person is a sophomore and had a summer internship.

       P ( B ): The probability that the person selected had a summer internship.

                     P ( A & B ) = x / N

                                       = 80 / 350

                                       = 0.22857143

                    P ( B ) = ( x + y ) / N

                              = ( 80 + 150 ) / 350 = 230/350

                              = 0.65714286

Therefore the required probability is:

         

                    P ( A / B ) = 0.22857143 / 0.65714286

                                     = 0.3478  ... Answer

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that describes the line with a slope of -2 and (5,4) is on the line
marin [14]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form will be:

  • y = -2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • slope = m = -2
  • point (5, 4)

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

substituting m = -2 and the point (5, 4) in the slope-intercept form to get the y-intercept 'b'

y = mx+b

4 = -2(5) + b

4 = -10 + b

b = 4+10

b = 14

now substituting m = -2 and b = 14  in the slope-intercept form to get the equation in slope-intercept

y = mx+b

y = -2x + 14

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form will be:

  • y = -2x + 14

Is i have 5 red marbles, 2 green and 3 blue, what is the probability of drawing two blue marbles in a row?
kherson [118]
So the chance of getting 1 blue marble is 30% or 3/10, the chance of getting another in a row is also 3/10 since its asking for both youd do 3/10*3/10 = 9/100

Solve -4x/x-1+2x+6/x^2-1=1
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6/x^2 + 2 x = 7

2 x^3 - 7 x^2 = -6 (for x!=0)

(2 (x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3))/x^2 = 1
