Surveys indicate that 5% of the students who took the SATs had enrolled in an SAT prep course. 30% of the SAT prep students were

admitted to their first choice college, as were 20% of the other students. You overhear a classmate say he got into the college he wanted. What is the probability he didn't take an SAT prep course?
What steps would I take to solve this problem?

Answer: The probability he didn't take an SAT prep course = 0.985

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first assume that he took SAT prep.

Surveys indicate that 5% of the students who took the SATs had enrolled in an SAT prep course. 30% of the SAT prep students were admitted to their first choice college. That is,

30/ 100 of 5 = 0.3 × 5 = 1.5

The probability he did take an SAT prep course and got admission into the college of first choice will be

P(prep) = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015

The probability he didn't take an SAT prep course will be:

P(not prep) = 1 - P(prep)

P(not prep) = 1 - 0.015

P(not prep) = 0.985

A video game that usually costs $30.65 is marked down 60%. Kelvin determined that the new price of the game would be $18.39. Loo
sladkih [1.3K]
The error.....Kelvin just figured the 60% markdown cost...not the final price

the final price would be : 30.65 - 0.60(30.65) = 30.65 - 18.39 = 12.26
so 12.26 is the final price

or another way to do this is : if it is marked down 60%, then u r actually paying 40%......0.40(30.65) = 12.26

A study of immunizations among school‑age children in California found that some areas had rates of unvaccinated school‑age chil
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a classroom of 20 children in one such area where 13.5% of children are unvaccinated.

If there are no siblings in the classroom, we are willing to consider the vaccination status of the 2020 unrelated children to be independent.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 children

            r = number of success = none of the 20 children

            p = probability of success which in our case is probability that

                   children are unvaccinated, i.e; p = 13.5%

<u><em>Let X = Number of children that are unvaccinated</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20, p = 0.135)

Now, Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is given by = P(X = 0)

           P(X = 0)  =  \binom{20}{0} \times 0.135^{0} \times (1-0.135)^{20-0}

                          =  1\times 1 \times 0.865^{20}

                          =  0.055

<em>Hence, the probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.</em>

Object A travels in the +x-direction before hitting a stationary object B. Afterwards, object AÍs x-momentum is 5.7 _ 104 kilogr
ANEK [815]
Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A. 42 
<span>B. 45 </span>
<span>C. 47 </span>
<span>D. 48 </span>
<span>E. 49
</span>
The answer is C or 47. The object’s resultant angle of motion with the +x-axis after the collision is  47. The reason for that is f<span>rom object A’s x-momentum is 5.7 × 104 kilogram meters/second and its y-momentum is 6.2 × 104 kilogram meters/second, we know that tan of the angle from the x-axis is 6.2 / 5.7 = 1.09 and acrtan 1.09 = 47.4</span>
