Answer:

The correct option is B. 23%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event that patient brushes his teeth at least twice a day is denoted by A

So, P(A) = 0.83

Let the event that patient flosses daily is denoted by B

So, P(B) = 0.47

Now, it is given that 19 percent patients brush at least twice a day and floss daily.

⇒ P(A and B) = 0.19

Now, we need to find conditional probability of occurring event B given A has occurred.

\implies P(B|A) =\frac{P(A\: and\: B)}{P(A)}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = \frac{0.19}{0.83}\\\\\implies P(B|A) = 0.2289\approx 0.23

Hence, Nearest required percentage = 23%

Therefore, The correct option is B. 23%

Y=-6x+10. Y=-6x+3<br><br> Solve the system of equations
bazaltina [42]

Given:

The system of equations is

y=-6x+10

y=-6x+3

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

For y=-6x+10, slope is -6 and y-intercept is 10.

For y=-6x+3, slope is -6 and y-intercept is 3.

Slopes of both lines are but the y-intercepts are difference. So, the two lines are parallel.

Therefore, the given system of equation has no solution.

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair<br>​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - y = 25 \\ 9x + y = 17 \\ x =  \frac{17 - y}{9}  \\ 12( \frac{17 - y}{9} ) - y = 25 \\

\frac{204}{9}  -  \frac{12}{9} y - y = 25 \\  \frac{204}{9}  -  \frac{21y}{9}  = 25 \\  -  \frac{21y}{9}  = 25 -  \frac{204}{9}  \\  -  \frac{21y}{9} =  2.33 \\ - 21y =  20.997 \\ y =  - 0.99

y =  - 1 \\ x =  \frac{17 - y}{9}  \\ x =  \frac{17 -  - 1}{9}  =  \frac{18}{9}   \\ x = 2

If P(x) = ax 3 + bx - 3 and P(-1)-0, then the value of P(1) is:
sergey [27]

Answer:

(a) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3

  • P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
  • therefore a+b=-3
  • P(1) = a+b-3
  • P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6
  • (a)
