Answer:

$a= \frac{-52-b}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation so b is the independent variable.

To get 'b' as a independent variable , we need to get 'a' alone

WE need to solve for 'a' so that 'a' depends on variable b and 'b' becomes independent variable

4a+b=−52

To get 'a' alone , subtract 'b' from both sides

4a = -52-b

Divide by 4 on both sides

$a= \frac{-52-b}{4}$

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay}\\\\
A=I(1 - r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &730\\
r=rate\to 27.6\%\to \frac{27.6}{100}\to &0.276\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &12\\

A=730(1-0.276)^{12}\implies A=730(0.724)^{12}$

A gene can be either type A or type B, and it can be either dominant or recessive. If the gene is type B, then there is a probab

WARRIOR [948]

Answer: The probability that a gene is of type A is 0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of type A.

Let B be the event of type B.

Let D be the event of dominant.

So, P(B and D) = 0.22

P(D|B)=0.31

So, Using the conditional probability, we get that

$P(B|D)=\dfrac{P(B\cap D)}{P(B)}\\\\0.31=\dfrac{0.22}{P(B)}\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{0.22}{0.31}=0.71$

So, the probability that a gene is of type A is given by

$P(A)=1-P(B)=1-0.71=0.29$

Hence, the probability that a gene is of type A is 0.29.
