Probability is the chance (the likelihood) that certain event will happen.

In our case the events are:

<span>1.<span>     </span></span>one of the diners orders fish

<span>2.<span>     </span></span>one of the diners is wearing dress

The or in the question means that we should sum the probabilities of the two events in order to get the asked probability.

The probability is a numerical value between the number 0 and 1.

 

probability of event happening = number of ways it can happen / total number of outcomes.

 

<span>1.<span>     </span></span>The probability that one of the diners orders fish = number of diners who ordered fish / total number of diners

p1=45/100=0.45

<span>2.<span>     </span></span>The probability that one of the diners is wearing dress= number of diners wearing dress/ total number of diners

<span>3.<span>     </span></span>p2=14/100=0.14

<span>The probability that one of the diners ordered the fish or is wearing a dress is: p=0.45+0.14=0.59</span>

How do you break apart the factor 42 using place value?
worty [1.4K]

Hey there!☺

Let's break apart 42.

The 4 is in the tens. The 2 is in the ones.

                            Place Value starting from Thousands

                             Thousands  Hundreds  Tens  Ones

                             _________ ________ ____ _____

                                                                        4          2

So this is how we break up numbers using place value.

Hope this helps!

A crime is committed by one of two suspects, A and B. Initially, there is equal evidence against both of the suspects. After fur
liberstina [14]

Answer:

a) MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) 10/11

c) 2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A={A is the guilty party}

M_A = {A blood type matches that of the guilty party}

C = {B is the guilty party}

M_C = {B blood type matches that of the guilty party}

a) The chance is 10% because MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) the probability that A is the guilty party is given by P(A/M_A). Using bayes theorem:

P(A/M_A)=\frac{P(M_A/A)P(A)}{P(M_A/A)P(A)+P(M_C/C)P(C)} =\frac{1*1/2}{(1*1/2)+(1/10*1/2)} =\frac{10}{11}

c) the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party is given as P(M_C/M_A). Using LOTS Therefore:

P(M_C/M_A)=P(M_C/M_A,A)P(A/M_A)+P(M_C/M_A,A)P(C/M_A)=\frac{1}{10}*\frac{10}{11}  +1*\frac{1}{11}  =\frac{2}{11}

Solve for<br> a. 7a-2b = 5a b
Nookie1986 [14]

For this case we have the following expression:

7a-2b = 5ab

From here, we must clear the value of a.

We then have the following steps:

Place the terms that depend on a on the same side of the equation:

7a - 5ab = 2b

Do common factor "a":

a (7 - 5b) = 2b

Clear the value of "a" by dividing the factor within the parenthesis:

a =\frac{2b}{7-5b}

Answer:

The clear expression for "a" is given by:

a =\frac{2b}{7-5b}

. A high school currently has a 30% dropout rate. They’ve been tasked to decrease that rate by 20%. Find the equivalent percenta
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.

The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values

divided by the initial value

It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%

The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)

The percentage change = \frac{10}{30}*100 = 33.33_%%

So, the equivalent percentage point drop = <u>10%</u>

And the percentage change = <u>33.33%</u>
