For married couples living in a certain suburb, the probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21, the probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28, and the probability that both the husband and the wife will vote is0.15.
A) What is the probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote?
B) What is the probability that a wife will vote, given that her husband will vote?
C) What is the probability that a husband will vote, given that his wife does not vote?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.34 = 35% probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote.

b) 0.7143 = 71.43% probability that a wife will vote

c) 0.0968 = 9.68% probability that a husband will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

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

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

In which

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.

This is used for itens B and C. For item a, we treat the probabilities as Venn sets.

A) What is the probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote?

I am going to say that:

Event A: Husband votes.

Event B: Wife votes.

The probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21[/tex]

The probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.28[/tex]

The probability that both the husband and the wife will vote is 0.15.

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.15[/tex]

At least one votes:

This is [tex]P(A \cup B)[/tex], which is given by:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.21 + 0.28 - 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.34[/tex]

0.34 = 35% probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote.

B) What is the probability that a wife will vote, given that her husband will vote?

Here, we use conditional probability:

Event A: Husband votes:

Event B: Wife votes

The probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21[/tex]

Intersection of events A and B:

Intersection between husband voting and wife voting is both voting, which means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.15[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.21} = 0.7143[/tex]

0.7143 = 71.43% probability that a wife will vote.

C) What is the probability that a husband will vote, given that his wife does not vote?

Event A: Wife does not vote.

Event B: Husband votes.

The probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28

So 1 - 0.28 = 0.62 probability that she does not vote, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.62[/tex]

Probability of husband voting and wife not voting:

0.21 probability husband votes, 0.15 probability wife votes, so 0.21 - 0.15 = 0.06 probability husband votes and wife does not, so [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.06[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.62} = 0.0968[/tex]

0.0968 = 9.68% probability that a husband will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

21 ounces.

This is percentage increase.

In order to find that, we simply do:

(100+25)% = 125%

100% = 12 ounces

125% = ?

12*125/100 = 9 ounces

a toy company is going to issue new ID codes to its employees.Each codes will have one letter followed by five digits. The digits 2 and 6 will not be used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that will be used. Assume that the digits can be repeated.. How many employee ID codes can be generated

Answers

Answer:

851,968

Step-by-step explanation:

26*8*8*8*8*8= 851,968

From the combination of codes, 851,968 employee ID codes can be generated.

Given,
Employee ID codes can be generated.
Each code will have one letter followed by five digits. The digits 2 and 6 will not be used. So, there are 26 letters and 8 digits that will be used.
The number of employee codes to be determined.

What are permutation and combination?

In arithmetic, combination and permutation are two different ways of grouping elements of a set into subsets. In a combination, the components of the subset can be recorded in any order. In a permutation, the components of the subset are listed in a distinctive order.


Required number of  codes = 26 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8 * 8
                                         = 851,968

Thus, from the combination of codes, 851,968 employee ID codes can be generated.

negative 5x plus 4y equals 3 i need x and y please

Answers

Answer:

x = 9

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + 4y = 3

x = 2y - 15

Manipulate the equations such that the coefficients of two variables are additive inverses

-5x + 4y = 3

x = 2y - 15

Inverse operations

-> 4y - 3 = 5x

-> 2y - 15 = x (*(-5))

->4y - 3 = 5x

-> -10y + 75 = -5x

Now add the equations to eliminate a variable,

4y - 3 = 5x

-10y + 75 = -5x

-6y + 72 = 0

Inverse operations

-6y + 72 = 0

72 = 6y

/6       /6

12 = y

Back solve to find (x)

2y - 15 = x

2(12) - 15 = x

24 - 15 = x

1. The entire fraction is negative if the numerator or denominator are negative.

if both parts of the fraction were negative, the entire fraction would be positive (- / - = +)

2. Of course, although most teachers ask you to put the negative sign in the fraction as a whole (before the fraction line) or in the numerator. never leave a fraction with two signs. in this case, if it has two signs and they are different, the whole fraction is NEGATIVE

3) No. the whole fraction is POSITIVE only if both the numerator and the denominator have the same sign, + + or - -
