Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 27.6%

b) 68.6%

c) 81.6%

d) 59.0%

e) 40.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say R = recycles, and B = believes bags should be banned.

We're given the following probabilities:

P(B) = 0.54

P(R and B) = 0.41

P(R given NOT B) = 0.60

a. Use conditional probability:

P(R given NOT B) = P(R and NOT B) / P(NOT B)

0.60 = P(R and NOT B) / (1 − 0.54)

P(R and NOT B) = 0.276

b. P(R) = P(R and B) + P(R and NOT B)

P(R) = 0.41 + 0.276

P(R) = 0.686

c. P(R or B) = P(R) + P(B) − P(R and B)

P(R or B) = 0.686 + 0.54 − 0.41

P(R or B) = 0.816

d. P(NOT R or NOT B) = 1 − P(R and B)

P(NOT R or NOT B) = 1 − 0.41

P(NOT R or NOT B) = 0.59

e. P(NOT B given R) = P(NOT B and R) / P(R)

P(NOT B given R) = 0.276 / 0.686

P(NOT B given R) = 0.402

Answer 2

Using conditional probability, it is found that:

a) 0.276 = 27.6% probability that the adult recycles and does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

b) 0.686 = 68.6% probability that the adult does recycle.

c) 0.816 = 81.6% probability that the adult does recycle or does believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

d) 0.59 = 59% probability that the adult does not recycle or does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

e) 0.402 = 40.2% probability that the adult does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned given that the adult does recycle.

-----------------------------------

Conditional probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]  

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Item a:

Event A: Bags should not be banned.

Event B: Recycle.

54% believe shopping bags should be banned, thus 46% believe that it should not be banned, and [tex]P(A) = 0.46[/tex].Of those, 60% recycle, thus [tex]P(B|A) = 0.6[/tex].We want [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex].

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B|A) = 0.46(0.6) = 0.276[/tex]

0.276 = 27.6% probability that the adult recycles and does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

Item b:

First, we have to find the proportion that recycle, given that they believe bags should be banned. Thus:

Event A: Believe bags should be banned.Event B: Recycle.

54% of adults surveyed believed that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

Thus [tex]P(A) = 0.54[/tex].

41% of adults regularly recycle aluminum cans and believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

Thus P(A \cap B) = 0.41[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.41}{0.54} = 0.7592[/tex]

The probability that recycle is the sum of:

60% of 46%(do not believe bags should be banned)75.92% of 54%(believe bags should be banned).

Then:

[tex]p = 0.6(0.46) + 0.7592(0.54) = 0.686[/tex]

0.686 = 68.6% probability that the adult does recycle.

Item c:

Sum of:

Recycle(68.6%).Do not recycle but believe bags should be banned(24.08% of 54%).

Thus:

[tex]p = 0.686 + 0.2408(0.54) = 0.816[/tex]

0.816 = 81.6% probability that the adult does recycle or does believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

Item d:

Sum of:

Do not recycle(31.4%).Recycle but does not believe bags should be banned(27.6%).

Thus:

[tex]p = 0.314 + 0.276 = 0.59[/tex]

0.59 = 59% probability that the adult does not recycle or does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned.

Item e:

Event A: Recycle.Event B: Believes should not be banned.68.6% recycle, thus [tex]P(A) = 0.686[/tex]27.6% recycle and believe bags should not be banned, thus [tex]P(A cap B) = 0.276[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.276}{0.686} = 0.402[/tex]

0.402 = 40.2% probability that the adult does not believe that plastic, noncompostable shopping bags should be banned given that the adult does recycle.

Which shows a possible number of CDs she could buy? Select three options.
1
2
3
4
5

Answers

Answer:

The possible number of CDs she could buy is 1, 2, and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make an equation to solve to find the answer(s):

80 - (18 · x) ≥ 2080 is how much money Felicia has; 18 is for the cost of each CD; x is for the number of CDs; is no less; and 20 is how much money Felicia needs to have left.

1.) 80 - (18 · 1) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 1 ≥ 20

80 - 18 ≥ 20

62 ≥ 20

Since 62 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

2.) 80 - (18 · 2) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 2 ≥ 20

80 - 36 ≥ 20

44 ≥ 20

Since 44 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

3.) 80 - (18 · 3) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 3 ≥ 20

80 - 54 ≥ 20

26 ≥ 20

Since 26 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

4.) 80 - (18 · 4) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 4 ≥ 20

80 - 72 ≥ 20

8 ≥ 20

Since 8 ≥ 20 is false, there is no solution.

5.) 80 - (18 · 5) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 5 ≥ 20

80 - 90 ≥ 20

- 10 ≥ 20

Since - 10 ≥ 20 is false, there is no solution.

Let as consider the complete ques is : Ray QS bisects ∠PQR. Solve for x and find m∠PQR. m∠PQS = 3x ; m∠SQR = 5x-20.

Given:

Ray QS bisects ∠PQR.

m∠PQS = 3x

m∠SQR = 5x-20

To find:

The value of x and m∠PQR

Solution:

Ray QS bisects ∠PQR. So,

[tex]m\angle PQS=m\angle SQR[/tex]

[tex]3x=5x-20[/tex]

[tex]3x-5x=-20[/tex]

[tex]-2x=-20[/tex]

[tex]x=10[/tex]

The value of x is 10.

Now,

[tex]m\angle PQR=m\angle PQS+m\angle SQR[/tex]

[tex]m\angle PQR=3x+5x-20[/tex]

[tex]m\angle PQR=8x-20[/tex]

Put x=10,

[tex]m\angle PQR=8(10)-20[/tex]

[tex]m\angle PQR=80-20[/tex]

[tex]m\angle PQR=60[/tex]

Therefore, the m∠PQR is 60 degrees.

HELP PLEASE I have no idea how to do this

Answers

Answer:

did anyone figure this out

The distance between two points on a plane can be found by Pythagoras's theorem.

The shortest route from her home to her workplace is the route that passes along the block in the middle of the graph ,which is approximately 2.5 blocks shorter, than the apparently next shortest route.

Reason:

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

The shortest route to her workplace are the routes that approximate a straight line the most.

Following the dotted lines, there are two routes, that are approximately direct and therefore short routes to her workplace which are;

The route heading past the block close to the center of the map to her workplaceThe route to the left of the above route

Taking the route that passes close to the center of the map to her workplace ,gives;

Path 1 = √(2² + 4²) = 2·√5 (by Pythagoras's theorem)

Path 2 = √(1² + 2²) = √5

Path 3 = 1 + 1 = 2

Path 4 = √(2² + 3²) = √13

Path 5 = 3

Cumulative distance = 2·√5 + √5 + 2 + √13 + 3 ≈ 15.3

Taking the route to the left of the above route, gives;

Path 1 = √(2² + 4²) = 2·√5

Path 2 = 7 + 6 = 13

Cumulative distance = 2·√5 + 13 ≈ 17.5

Therefore, the shortest route is the route that heads to her workplace, through, close to the center of the map, which approximately 17.5 blocks - 15.3 blocks  = 2.5 blocks shorter

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well what you have here are two right triangles within another right triangles created by an altitude. This results in 3 similar triangles (see attached for reference)

As a result , using the properties of similar triangles, and taking ratios of their sides of the medium triangle and the largest triangle, we can form the following relationship:

[tex]\frac{b}{z}=\frac{y}{x} = \frac{z}{a+b}[/tex]  (we know that a+b = 15), hence the equation becomes:

[tex]\frac{b}{z}=\frac{y}{x} = \frac{z}{15}[/tex]  ----------eq 1

If we consider the largest triangle, we will see that

cos 30° = z / 15

but from our special angles (see second attachment) we know that cos 30° = (√3)/2

hence

(√3)/2 = z / 15

z = (15√3) / 2 --------eq 2

from the same largest triangle, we will also see that

sin 30° = x / 15

similarly from our special angles, we know that sin 30° = 1/2

hence,

1/2 = x/15

x = 15/2 --------eq 3

now that we have values for x and z, we can neglect the first term of equation 1 and form an equality with x, y and z

[tex]\frac{y}{x} = \frac{z}{15}[/tex]

[tex]y = x\frac{z}{15}[/tex]  (substituting the values for x and z that we found above)

y = (15/2) · [ (15√3) / 2] / 15

y = (15√3) / 4

[tex]y=\frac{15\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
