A water well is being drilled in the desert where soil is either rock, clay, or sand. Probability of rock P(R) = 0.42, probabili

ty of clay P(C) = 0.34, and probability of sand P(S) =0.24. A geological test gives positive results with 40% accuracy in rock, 50% accuracy with clay, and 80% accuracy in sand. Given the test is positive, what is the probability that the soil is rock, P(Rock|positive)? Use Bayes’ rule.

We are asked to solve for:

P (sand | positive)

So, we solve this by:

P (sand | positive) = P (sand)  x P (positive for sand)

P (sand | positive) = 0.26 (0.75)

P (sand | positive) = 0.195

The probability is 0.195 or 19.5%.

Answer:

a)                      

b) number of flowers.  

c) 2830              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The number of flowers bloomed is given by the function:

 

where s is the s is the number of seeds she planted.

The number of seeds planted per week is given by

where w represents the number of weeks.

a)  composite function that represents how many flowers Lily can expect to bloom over a certain number of weeks.

The composite function can be written as:

where f(w) gives the number of flowers that bloomed in w weeks.

b)  units of measurement for the composite function

The composite functions gives the number of flower that will bloom in w weeks. Thus, the unit of measurement is number of flowers.

c) Number of flowers in 35 weeks.

We put w = 35 in the composite function.

2830 flowers will bloom in 35 weeks.

Thanks

Nikki and Jonathan both solve this system of equations: y=−2.7x+3.2 y = - 2 . 7 x + 3 . 2 y=1.3x+1.6 y = 1 . 3 x + 1 . 6 Jonatha
N76 [4]

We have two equations that were solved by Nikki and Jonathon:

  • y=−2.7x+3.2
  • y=1.3x+1.6

Equating the above two:

⇒ 1.3x + 1.6 = -2.7x + 3.2

⇒ 4x = 1.6

⇒ x = 0.4

Hence, substituting the value of x in one of the equations we get:

y = 1.3×0.4 + 1.6 = 2.12

So the solution is (0.4, 2.12)

Jonathon's solution was (0.4, 2.12) and Nikki's was (2.25, 0.5). Hence Jonathon gave the correct solution.

Use Polya's four-step problem-solving strategy and the problem-solving procedures presented in this lesson to solve the followin
svp [43]

Answer:

a) 1+2+3+4+...+396+397+398+399=79800

b) 1+2+3+4+...+546+547+548+549=150975

c) 2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=1560

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a summation formula for the first n natural numbers:

1+2+3+...+(n-2)+(n-1)+n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}

We use the formula, we get

a) 1+2+3+4+...+396+397+398+399=\frac{399·(399+1)}{2}=\frac{399· 400}{2}=399· 200=79800

b) 1+2+3+4+...+546+547+548+549=\frac{549·(549+1)}{2}=\frac{549· 550}{2}=549· 275=150975

c)2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=S / ( :2)

1+2+3+4+...+36+37+38+39=S/2

\frac{39·(39+1)}{2}=S/2

\frac{39·40}{2}=S/2

39·40=S

1560=S

Therefore, we get

2+4+6+8+...+72+74+76+78=1560
