Of the students in the college, 60% of the students reside in the hostel and 40% of the students are day scholars. Previous year result reports that 30% of all students who stay in the hostel scored A Grade and 20% of day scholars scored A grade. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random and found that he/she has an A grade. What is the probability that the student is a hostlier?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

Let :

Hostel students = h

Day students = d

Students with A grade = a

P(h) = 60% = 0.6

P(d) = 40% = 0.4

P(hostel with A grade) ; P(A / H) = 0.3

P(day with A grade) ; P(A / D) = 0.2

The probability that a student picked at random withbA grade is an hostel student is given as :

Probability of being an hostel student gun he has A :

P(H | A) = (P(A/H) * P(H)) ÷ P(A/H) * P(H) + P(A/D) * P(D))

P(H | A) = (0.3 * 0.6) ÷ ((0.3*0.6) + (0.2*0.4))

P(H | A) = 0.18 ÷ (0.18 + 0.08)

P(H | A) = 0.18 ÷ 0.26

P(H | A) = 9 / 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can add like terms.

The terms that we see here are [tex]x^3, x^2, x,[/tex] and integer values.

We can combine like terms by adding the coefficients.

Add[tex](6x^2 - 9x + 6)+(4x^3 - 6x)[/tex][tex]6x^2 - 9x + 6 + 4x^3 - 6x[/tex][tex]4x^3 + 6x^2 - 9x - 6x + 6[/tex][tex]4x^2 + 6x^2 - 15x + 5[/tex]

z scores are useful because they:a. allow us to convert raw scores to mean scores, compare scores from different samples, and transform populations into samples.b. transform linear scores into nonlinear scores, convert nonlinear scores back into linear scores, and allow us to obtain comparisons between nonlinear and linear scores.c. give us an understanding of where a score falls in relation to the mean of its underlying population, allow comparisons to be made between scores from different distributions, and permit the transformation of z scores into percentiles.d. reduce the probability of Type I and Type II errors, allow us to compare raw scores with standard scores, and permit the transformation of raw scores into percentiles.

Answers

Answer:

they give us a sense of where a score falls in relation to the mean of its population (in terms of standard deviation of its population), 2) they allow us to compare scores from different distributions, and 3) they can be transformed into percentiles.

A line passes through the point (-1, -2) and has a slope of 5.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=5x+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Plug the given slope 5 into the equation

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=5x+b[/tex]

2) Find the y-intercept [tex]b[/tex] by plugging in the point (-1,-2)

[tex]y=5x+b\\-2=5(-1)+b\\-2=-5+b[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]-2+5=-5+b+5\\3=b[/tex]

3) Plug the y-intercept back into the equation

[tex]y=5x+3[/tex]

The perimeter and the ratio of the length to the width of a rectangle are given. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
Perimeter: 50 inches.
I:w=3:2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 3 : 2

Length =3x

Width = 2x

Perimeter = 50 inches

2*(length + width ) = 50

2* (3x + 2x ) = 50

       2* 5x    = 50

               10x = 50

                  x = 50/10

x = 5

Length = 3*5 = 15 inches

Width = 2*5   =  10 inches

IM BEGGING PLEASE HELP One angle of the triangle is 30% larger than the other and 36 ° smaller than the third. Find the angles of the triangle.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  52°, 40°, 88°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent "one angle". This is 30% larger than "the other", so we have ...

  x = "the other" × (1 +30%)

  x/1.30 = "the other"

If x is 36° smaller than the third, then the third is x+36.

__

The sum of the angles is 180°.

  x + x/1.3 + (x +36) = 180

  x(2 +1/1.3) = 144

  x = 144/(2 +1/1.3) = 52

  x/1.3 = 52/1.3 = 40

  x +36 = 88

The angles of the triangle are 52°, 40°, and 88°.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify the rational expression:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{n^4-11n^2+30}{n^4-7n^2+10}[/tex]

First, we can factor both the numerator and the denominator. This yields:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{(n^2-6)(n^2-5)}{(n^2-2)(n^2-5)}[/tex]

Cancel like terms:

[tex]\displaystyle =\frac{(n^2-6)}{(n^2-2)}[/tex]

However, since we canceled a term from our expression, we must place restrictions in order to stay true to the original expression.

Rational expressions are undefined whenever the denominator equals 0. The denominator is (before canceling):

[tex](n^2-2)(n^2-5)=0[/tex]

Solve for n. By the zero product property:

[tex]n^2-2=0\text{ and } n^2-5=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]n^2=2\text{ and } n^2=5[/tex]

By taking the square root of both sides (since we are taking an even root, it is required to have plus/minus):

[tex]n=\pm\sqrt{2}\text{ and } n=\pm\sqrt5[/tex]

Therefore, our fully simplified expression is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{n^2-6}{n^2-2}\, ,n\neq \pm\sqrt5, \pm\sqrt2[/tex]

Hence, our answer is C!

Answer:

2h + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives one the height of Tree A (8h - 1) and the height of Tree B (6h - 11). The problem asks one to find how much taller Tree A is than Tree B. This problem can be modeled using a simple subtraction problem, the height of Tree A, minus the height of Tree B. Remember to distribute the subtraction sign outside of the parenthesis, and only combine like terms;

(Tree A) - (Tree B)

= (8h - 1) - (6h - 11)

= 8h - 1 - 6h + 11

= 2h + 10

Since there was no numerical value given for the variable (h), nor any value which this expression is equal, the final answer is (2h + 10).

John can play 12 songs on his guitar but learns 1 new song every week. Aiden can play 4 songs but learns 2 every week

Answers

Given :

John can play 12 songs on his guitar but learns 1 new song every week. Aiden can play 4 songs but learns 2 every week.

To Find :

How many weeks will it be before Aiden knows as many songs as john?

Solution :

Let, after x weeks Aiden know a songs and John know j songs.

The linear equation for both the situation is :

a = x + 12       .....( For Aiden )

j = 2x + 4       ......( For John )

We need to find in which week Aiden knows as many songs as John.

For this , a = j

x + 12 = 2x + 4

x = 8

Therefore, in 8th week both of them know the same number of songs.
