Part 2: The probability as a fraction is _
Answers
Conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event has already occurred.
The table shows the outcome of car accidents by whether or not the driver wearing a seat belt.
Let's call:
A = The event of the driver wearing a seat belt in a car accident.
B = The event of the driver dying in a car accident
The conditional probability is calculated as follows:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}[/tex]The conditional probability stated in the formula is that for the driver wearing a seat belt knowing he did not survive the car accident.
The numerator of the formula is the probability of both events occurring, i.e., the driver wore a seat belt and died. The denominator is the simple probability that the driver died in a car accident.
From the table, we can intersect the first column and the second row to find the number of outcomes where both events occurred. The probability of A ∩ B is:
[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{511}{583,470}[/tex]The probability of B is:
[tex]P(B)=\frac{2217}{583,470}[/tex]The required probability is:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{\frac{511}{583,470}}{\frac{2217}{583,470}}[/tex]Simplifying the common denominators:

Answers
Answer:
1. Cube A, because it's volume is greater than the volume of cube B
Explanation:
Cube A
Volume = 125 cubic inches
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=s^3(s=\text{side length)} \\ 125=s^3 \\ s^3=125 \\ s^3=5^3 \\ s=5\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Surface Area=}6s^2 \\ =6(5)^2 \\ =6\times25 \\ =150\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]Cube B
The edge length, s = 4.8 inches.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=4.8^3=110.592\text{ cubic inches} \\ \text{Surface Area=}6(4.8)^2=138.24\text{ cubic inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]We see that Cube A is the larger group because it's volume is greater than the volume of cube B.

Problem
Find the marked price and the rate of discount for a camcorder whose price has been reduced by 95$ and whose sale price is 255$.
Solution
For this case we can find the real price with this operation:

And the rate of discount can be founded as:
(95/265)*100= 35.85%
Rounded to the nearest percent would be 36%

what is the slope of the line that passes through the points of (5,3) (5.-9)
Answers
Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)
slope = (-9 - 3)/(5 - 5)
slope = -12/0
Since the slope calculation involves division by zero, this line has undefined slope. The two points have the same x-coordinate, so the line is vertical. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
Find the 11th term of the arithmetic sequence -5x- 1, -8x + 4, -11 x+ 9, ...
Answers
Recall that an arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the next term is obtained by adding a constant term to the previous one. Let us consider a1 = -5x-1 as the first term and let d be the constant term that is added to get the next term of the sequence. Using this, we get that
[tex]a_2=a_1+d[/tex]so if we replace the values, we get that
[tex]-8x+4=-5x-1+d[/tex]so, by adding 5x+1 on both sides, we get
[tex]d=-8x+4+5x+1\text{ =(-8+5)x+5=-3x+5}[/tex]To check if this value of d is correct, lets add d to a2. We should get a3.
Note that
[tex]a_2+d=-8x+4+(-3x+5)=-11x+9=a_3[/tex]so the value of d is indeed correct.
Now, note the following
[tex]a_3=a_2+d=(a_1+d)+d=a_1+2d=a_1+d\cdot(3-1)[/tex]This suggest the following formula
[tex]a_n=a_1+d\cdot(n-1)[/tex]the question is asking for the 11th term of the sequence, that is, to replace the value of n=11 in this equation, so we get
[tex]a_{11}=a_1+d\cdot(10)=-5x-1+10\cdot(-3x+5)\text{ =-5x-1-30x+50 = -35x+49}[/tex]so the 11th term of the sequence is -35x+49

Q1 = 0.25
In this case the value of z = 0.25, so we look for the closest value in the normal table, like this:
Thanks to this, we make the following equation:

In this case the value of z = 0.75, so we look for the closest value in the normal table, like this:
Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -0.67=\frac{x-9.9}{\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{39}}} \\ \\ x-9.9=0.1931 \\ \\ x=0.1931+9.9 \\ \\ x=10.0931 \\ \\ Q_3=10.0931-9.7069 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the interquartile range would be:

Given:
[tex]Endpoints\text{ }(-7,5)\text{ and }(-5,-1)[/tex]To get the equation of the circle, the center of the circle and the radius are needed.
The center of the circle is the midpoint of the endpoints.
Using the midpoint formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}) \\ where: \\ x_1=-7,y_1=5 \\ x_2=-5,y_2=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus,
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-7+(-5)}{2},\frac{5+(-1)}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-12}{2},\frac{4}{2}) \\ M=(-6,2) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the coordinates of the center of the circle is (-6,2)
The length of the diameter can be gotten using the distance between two points formula;
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} where: \\ x_1=-7,y_1=5 \\ x_2=-5,y_2=-1 \\ Hence, \\ d=\sqrt{(-5-(-7))^2+(-1-5)^2} \\ d=\sqrt{2^2+(-6)^2} \\ d=\sqrt{4+36} \\ d=\sqrt{40} \end{gathered}[/tex]The diameter is twice the radius. Hence, the radius is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{\sqrt{40}}{2}=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{2} \\ r=\sqrt{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the equation of the circle with center (-6,2)
[tex]with\text{ radius }\sqrt{10}[/tex]Using the standard form of the equation of a circle;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ where: \\ (h,k)\text{ }is\text{ }the\text{ center} \\ r\text{ is the radius} \\ h=-6 \\ k=2 \\ r=\sqrt{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the equation is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-(-6))^2+(y-2)^2=(\sqrt{10})^2 \\ (x+6)^2+(y-2)^2=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the equation of the circle is;

Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=3-7=-4 \\ \\ d=-1-3=-4 \\ \\ d=-5-(-1)=-5+1=-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the common difference in this arithmetic sequence is d = -4.
Finding the formula for the arithmetic sequenceWe know that the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]For this case, we have that d = -4, and that the first term, a1 = 7. Then we have the formula for the arithmetic sequence:
[tex]a_n=7+(n-1)(-4)[/tex]Notice that we can expand this expression as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_n=7+(-4)(n)+(-4)(-1) \\ \\ a_n=7-4n+4 \\ \\ a_n=11-4n \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Finding the 20th termThen to find the 20th term of the sequence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_{20}=7+(20-1)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7+(19)(-4) \\ \\ a_{20}=7-76=-69 \\ \\ a_{20}=-69 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in summary, we have that the value for the 20th term of the sequence 7, 3, -1, and -5 is -69.
