Answer:
0.1875
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the event that class two has been chosen . So the probability of A would be P (A) = 1/2= 0.5
Now class two has 9 girls out of total 24 students . So the probability of chosing the girl would be= P (B=) 9/24= 0.375
So the probability that Classroom #2 was chosen at random, given that a girl was chosen is given by = P(A) . P(B)= 0.5 * 0.375= 0.1875
Another way of finding the probability that Classroom #2 was chosen at random, given that a girl was chosen is by drawing a tree diagram.
P (1/2) Class 1 ------------------------5 boys
-------------------------11 girls (11/16)
P (1/2) Class 2 -------------------------15 boys
-----------------------9 girls P (9/24) Class 2 was chosen (0.5) *9/24

paul worked 50 hours last week. if he earns $10 per hour plus time-and-a-half for any hours worked beyond 40 in a week, how much did he earn last week?
Answer: 4150
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the 50, becuse the amount earned increases once you surpass 40 you do 40 x 10 and that = 4000 then you take the remaining 10 and times that by 15 (becuse after 40 it is 1.5 of what you where earning before you hit 40 hours and half of ten is 5 so you do 10 plus 5 and times that by 10) then add both numbers together and you have 4150! Hope that helped!

What is the solution of the system of equations?
y = -3x + 7
y = 2x - 8
Answer:
x = 3, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y=y
then, -3x +7 = 2x-8
7+8 = 3x+2x
15 = 5x
x=3
substitute
y = 2(3) - 8
y = -2
Hope that helped!!! k
Answer:
y = -2
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using elimination
1. Rearrange the equations to make it easier to solve
y = -3x + 7 → 3x + y = 7
y = 2x - 8 → 2x - y = 8
2. Multiply the equations to have a matching coefficient
2(3x + y = 7) = 6x + 2y = 14
3(2x - y = 8) = 6x - 3y = 24
3. Subtract
6x + 2y = 14
- 6x - 3y = 24
0 + 5y = -10
4. Solve for y
5y = -10
y = -2
5. Substitute y in any equation to solve for x
-2 = -3x + 7
-3x = -9
x = 3
We want to model the daily movement of a particular stock (say Amazon, ticker = AMZN) using a homogeneous markov-chain. Suppose at the close of the market each day, the stock can end up higher or lower than the previous day’s close. Assume that if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .65. If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .45.
(a) What is the 1-step transition matrix? (Let 1 = higher, 2 = lower)
(b) On Monday, the stock closed higher. What is the probability that it will close higher on Thursday (three days later)
Answer:
See the explanation and attached images for the answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 1-step transition matrix:
See the attached image for transition matrix.
Let the matrix be M
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.65.
If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.45
if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.65 = 0.35
if the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.45 =0.55
b)
To compute probability for 3 days later multiply matrix M (from part a) thrice i.e. M*M *M
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65 * 0.65 + 0.35 * 0.45 &0.65 * 0.35 + 0.35 * 0.55 \\0.45 * 0.65 + 0.55 * 0.45 &0.45 * 0.35 + 0.55 * 0.55 \end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.58&0.42\\0.54&0.46\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0.58 * 0.65 + 0.42 x 0.45&0.58 * 0.35 + 0.42 * 0.55 \\0.54 * 0.65 + 0.46 * 0.45 &0.54 * 0.35 + 0.46 * 0.55 \end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.566&0.434\\0.558&0.442\end{array}\right][/tex]
The probability that it will close higher on Thursday is 0.566. See the transmission matrix of M³ for higher-higher. This can be interpreted as:
if the stock closed higher on Monday, the probability that it closes higher the on Thursday (three days later) is 0.566

A spinner has 10 equally sized sections, 5 of which are gray and 5 of which are blue. The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability that the first spin lands on gray and the second spin lands on blue? Write your answer as a fraction in the simplest form.
Answer:
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Sections = 10[/tex]
[tex]n(Gray) = 5[/tex]
[tex]n(Blue) = 5[/tex]
Required
Determine P(Gray and Blue)
Using probability formula;
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)[/tex]
Calculating P(Gray)
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{n(Gray)}{Sections}[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Calculating P(Gray)
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{n(Blue)}{Sections}[/tex]
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{5}{10}[/tex]
[tex]P(Blue) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Substitute these values on the given formula
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Marco purchased a large box of comic books for $300. He gave 15 of the comic books to his brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330 making a profit , making a profit of $1.50 on each one.how many comic books were in the box? what was the original price of each comic book (assuming they all cost the same amount)?
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{300}x)[/tex]
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{330}{x-15})[/tex]
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
[tex]\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}][/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (x+40)(x-75)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-40,75[/tex]
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = [tex]\dfrac{300}{75}=\$4[/tex]
So price of each book = $4.
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained green peas and yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of that was expected? 350 127 3 4 The probability of getting a green pea is approximately . (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.) Is this probability reasonably close to ? Choose the correct answer below. 3 4 A. No, it is not reasonably close. B. Yes, it is reasonably close.
Complete Question
In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 171 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected? The probability of getting a green pea is approximately: Is the probability reasonably close to 3/4?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Yes the result is reasonably close
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of of green peas is [tex]g = 436[/tex]
The number of yellow peas is [tex]y = 171[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 171 + 436 = 607[/tex]
The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(g) = \frac{g}{n}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) = \frac{436}{607}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Comparing [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex] to [tex]\frac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex] we see that the result is reasonably close
Determine the value(s) for which the rational expression 2x^2/6x is undefined. If there's more than one value, list them separated by a comma, e.g. x=2,3.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, dividing by 0 is not defined. so
[tex]\dfrac{2x^2}{6x}[/tex]
is defined for x different from 0
This being said, we can simplify by 2x
[tex]\dfrac{2x^2}{6x}=\dfrac{2x*x}{3*2x}=\dfrac{1}{3}x[/tex]
and this last expression is defined for any real number x.
Thank you

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 33 amd 37, and that the angle between these two sides is 120°. What is the length of the third side of the triangle
Answer:
c = 60.65 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The two sides of a triangle are 33 cm and 37 cm.
The angle between these two sides is 120°.
We need to find the length of the third side of the triangle. Let c is the third side. Using cosine rule,
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C[/tex]
a = 33 cm, b = 37 cm and C is 120°
So,
[tex]c^2=(33)^2+(37)^2-2\times 33\times 37\cos (120)\\\\c=60.65\ cm[/tex]
So, the length of the third side of the triangle is 60.65 cm.

musah stands at the center of a rectangular field . He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 step west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. How far west and how far north is Musah final point from the center?
Answer:
85.36 far north from the center
10.36 far east from the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The extra direction taken in the north side is x
X/sin(360-315)=50/sin 90
Sin 90= 1
X/sin 45= 50
X= sin45 *50
X= 0.7071*50
X= 35.355 steps
X= 35.36
Then the west direction traveled
West =√(50² - 35.355²)
West = √(2500-1249.6225)
West= √1250.3775
West= 35.36 steps
But this was taken in an opposite west direction
From the center
He is 35.36 +50
= 85.36 far north from the center
And
25-35.36=-10.36
10.36 far east from the center
A basketball player scored 33 points during a game by shooting 1-point free throws, 2-point field goals, and 3-point field goals. The player scored 17 times. She scored 3 more 2-point field goals than 1-point free throws. The system of equations below represents the situation, where x is the number of 1-point free throws, y is the number of 2-point field goals, and z is the number of 3-point field goals. x + y + z = 17 x + 2y + 3z = 33 y – x = 3
Answer:
No. of 1 pt free throws = 5, No. of 2 pt goals = 8, No. of 3 pt goals = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations : x + y + z = 17 [ Total times taken to score ]
1x + 2y + 3z = 33 [ Total Score ]
Also, y = x + 3
Putting the value of 'y' in both equations :
x + (x + 3)+ z = 17 → 2x + 3 + z = 17 → 2x + z = 14 (i)
1x + 2 (x + 3) + 3z = 33 → x + 2x + 6 + 3z = 33 → 3x + 3z = 27 (ii)
Solving these equations :
From (i), z = 14 - 2x
Putting this value in (ii), 3x + 3(14 - 2x) = 27 → 3x + 42 - 6x = 27
42 - 3x = 27 → 3x = 15 → x = 5
y = x + 3 = 5 + 3 → y = 8
z = 17 - x - y → z = 17 - 5 - 8 = 17 - 13 → z = 4
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
A certain animal's body temperature has a mean of F and a standard deviation of F. Convert the given temperatures to z scores.
A certain animal's body temperature has a mean of 94.72° F and a standard deviation of 0.57°F. Convert the given temperatures to z scores.
a. 93.52 °F b. 95.22 °F c. 94.72 °F
Answer:
a. z = - 2.1053
b. z = 0.87719
c. z = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The population mean μ = 94.72
The standard deviation σ = 0.57
the formula for calculating the standard normal z score, which can be represented as:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For a.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 93.52
The z score can be computed as follows:
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{93.52 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{-1.2}{0.57}[/tex]
z = - 2.1053
For b.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 95.22
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{95.22 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0.5}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0.87719
For c.
The sample mean [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 94.72
[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{94.72 - 94.72}{0.57}[/tex]
[tex]z= \dfrac{0}{0.57}[/tex]
z = 0
4. Identify the means and the extremes in each of the following proportions.
a. 4 : 24 = 2 : 12
b. 24/6 = 164
c. 4:8 = 8:16
d. 650 = 3/25
Answer:
a) Means: 24 and 2; Extremes: 4 and 12
b) Means: 6 and 16; Extremes: 24 and 4
c) Means: 8 and 8; Extremes: 4 and 16
d) Means: 50 and 3; Extremes: 6 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The Means and Extremes in a proportion are defined based on the writing the proportion in one lie using colons the indicate the fraction, like in:
a : b = c : d The extremes values here are those that you see at the extreme left and extreme right of that expression. That is: a, and d.
The Means are the values that appear in the middle of the one line expression, that is: b and c.
Recall as well that the proportion can also be written with fractions:
a : b = c : d is the same as: a / b = c / d
so convert the expression to a one line with colons when the question comes in fraction form, and that way you can answer.

Using the digits 0-9, at most only one time each, fill in the boxes to
Answer:
2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
_ * _ + _ * _ = _ _
Required
Fill in the boxes with digits 0 to 9
From the question we understand that the result must be two digits i.e. _ _
To solve this, we'll make use of trial by error method:
Fill the first two boxes wit 2 and 3: _ * _ becomes 2 * 3
Fill the next two boxes with 4 and 5: _ * _ becomes 4 * 5
So,we have
2 * 3 + 4 * 5
6 + 20
26
Hence, the first combination is 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 = 26
Another possible combination is:
Fill the first two boxes wit 5 and 7: _ * _ becomes 5 * 7
Fill the next two boxes with 1 and 8: _ * _ becomes 1 * 8
So,we have
5 * 7 + 1 * 8
35 + 8
43
Hence, another combination is 5 * 7 + 1 * 8 = 43
Note that; there are more possible combinations
If you randomly select a card from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card you select is a heart or Ace
Answer:
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Number of Cards = 52
Required
Determine the probability of picking a heart or ace
Represent Ace with Ace and Heart = H
In a standard pack of cards; there are
[tex]n(A) = 4[/tex]
[tex]n(H) = 13[/tex]
[tex]n(A\ and\ H) = 1[/tex]
[tex]Total = 52[/tex]
Because the events are non mutually exclusive
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
Where
[tex]P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Total} = \frac{4}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(H) = \frac{n(H)}{Total} = \frac{13}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ and\ H) = \frac{n(A\ and\ H)}{Total} = \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Substitute these values in the above formula
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = P(A) + P(H) - P(A\ and\ H)[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{52} + \frac{13}{52} - \frac{1}{52}[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4 + 13 - 1}{52}[/tex]
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{16}{52}[/tex]
Reduce fraction to lowest term
[tex]P(A\ or\ H) = \frac{4}{13}[/tex]
Hence, probability of a heart or ace is 4/13

Answer:
ABC = 148, 3*148 = 444
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 111 = 3* 37, so all numbers of the form BBB has the factor 37.
So we need a multiple of 37 such thant when multiplied, we get three digits the same as the middle digit.
Try 4*37 = 148, 148*3 = 444, bingo, we got the right combination.
So ABC is 148.

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
Solve the parentheses first. Multiply 3 and -9.
3*-8=-24
[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2 + -24[/tex]
[tex](3)^2+(-8)^2-24[/tex]
Now, solve the exponents.
3^2= 3*3 =9
[tex]9+ (-8)^2 -24[/tex]
-8^2= -8*-8= 64
[tex]9+64-24[/tex]
Add 9 and 64
[tex]73-24[/tex]
Subtract 24 from 73
[tex]49[/tex]
The polynomial evaluated for x=3 and y= -8 is 49.
For this year's fundraiser, students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize. If the fourth grade students at this school sell an average (arithmetic mean) of 47 subscriptions per student, the sales are normally distributed, and have a standard deviation of 14, then approximately what percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize
Answer:
The percentage is k = 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 47[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Given that the sales are normally distributed and that students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize then the percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{75 - \mu }{\sigma })[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > \frac{75 - 47 }{14 })[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table
[tex]P(Z > 2) =0.023[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X > 75) = 0.023[/tex]
The percentage of the fourth grade students receive a prize is
k = 0.023 * 100
k = 2.3%
