Consider the midterm and final for a statistics class. Suppose 13% of students earned an A on the midterm. Of those students who

padilas [110]

Answer:

There is a 38.97% probability that this student earned an A on the midterm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is that we have to find the percentage of students who got an A on the final exam.

Suppose 13% students earned an A on the midterm. Of those students who earned an A on the midterm, 47% received an A on the final, and 11% of the students who earned lower than an A on the midterm received an A on the final.

This means that

Of the 13% of students who earned an A on the midterm, 47% received an A on the final. Also, of the 87% who did not earn an A on the midterm, 11% received an A on the final.

So, the percentage of students who got an A on the final exam is

$P_{A} = 0.13(0.47) + 0.87(0.11) = 0.1568$

To find the probability that this student earned an A on the final test also earned on the midterm, we divide the percentage of students who got an A on both tests by the percentage of students who got an A on the final test.

The percentage of students who got an A on both tests is:

$P_{AA} = 0.13(0.47) = 0.0611$

The probability that the student also earned an A on the midterm is

$P = \frac{P_{AA}}{P_{A}} = \frac{0.0611}{0.1568} = 0.3897$

There is a 38.97% probability that this student earned an A on the midterm.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo

aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

$2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4$

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

The cruise boat can carry up to 45 passengers. The company wants to know the minimum number of passengers needed per cruise to c

aksik [14]

Fixed costs:
$350 + $120 + $170 = $640
Variable costs:
x * ( $6.50 + $3.64 ) = x * 10.14
Sales income ( total ):
x * $36.40
FC + FV - Income = 0
640 + 10.14 x - 36.40 x = 0
640 - 26.26 x = 0
26.26 x = 640
x = 640 : 26.26 = 24.37
Answer:
The minimum number of passengers needed per cruise, so that the cruise company can be sure it will make a profit is 25.
