Solve the equation.<br> 2/3b - 1/3b +12= 16

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

b=1/12 or just 12

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms

1/3b +12=16

subtract 12 on both sides

1/3b=4

divided both sides with 1/3

b= 12 or 1/12

Each person in a group of college students was identified by graduating year and asked when he or she preferred taking classes:

swat32

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency table is attached below.

We have to calculate, the probability that the student preferred morning classes given he or she is a junior.

i.e $P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})$

We know that,

$P(A\ |\ B)=\dfrac{P(A\ \cap\ B)}{P(B)}$

So,

$P(\text{Morning }|\text{ Junior})=\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}$

Putting the values from the table,

$\dfrac{P(\text{Morning }\cap \text{ Junior})}{P(\text{Junior})}=\dfrac{\frac{16}{143}}{\frac{26}{143}}=\dfrac{16}{26}=0.615$

Find the solutions to the system; y=x^2-3x-1 and y=8x-1

PSYCHO15rus [73]

${x}^{2} - 3x - 1 = 8x - 1 \\ {x}^{2} - 11x = 0 \\ x(x - 11) \\ x = 0 \: or \: x = 11$

When x = 0,
$y = 8x - 1 \\ y = 0 - 1 \\ y = - 1$

When x = 11
$y = 8(11) - 1 \\ y = 87$
x = 0, y = - 1
x = 11, y = 87

Answer is B.

Hope this helps. - M

Suppose on a certain planet that a rare substance known as Raritanium can be found in some of the rocks. A raritanium-detector i

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive reading

Event B: Contains raritanium

Probability of a positive reading:

98% of 13%(positive when there is raritanium).

0.5% of 100-13 = 87%(false positive, positive when there is no raritanium). So

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 + 0.005*0.87 = 0.13175$

Positive when there is raritanium:

98% of 13%

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 = 0.1274$

What is the probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1274}{0.13175} = 0.967$

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium
