For married couples living in a certain suburb, the probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21, the probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28, and the probability that both the husband and the wife will vote is0.15.
A) What is the probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote?
B) What is the probability that a wife will vote, given that her husband will vote?
C) What is the probability that a husband will vote, given that his wife does not vote?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.34 = 35% probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote.

b) 0.7143 = 71.43% probability that a wife will vote

c) 0.0968 = 9.68% probability that a husband will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

This is used for itens B and C. For item a, we treat the probabilities as Venn sets.

A) What is the probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote?

I am going to say that:

Event A: Husband votes.

Event B: Wife votes.

The probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21[/tex]

The probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28

This means that [tex]P(B) = 0.28[/tex]

The probability that both the husband and the wife will vote is 0.15.

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.15[/tex]

At least one votes:

This is [tex]P(A \cup B)[/tex], which is given by:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.21 + 0.28 - 0.15[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.34[/tex]

0.34 = 35% probability that at least one member of a married couple will vote.

B) What is the probability that a wife will vote, given that her husband will vote?

Here, we use conditional probability:

Event A: Husband votes:

Event B: Wife votes

The probability that the husband will vote on a bond referendum is 0.21

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21[/tex]

Intersection of events A and B:

Intersection between husband voting and wife voting is both voting, which means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.15[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.21} = 0.7143[/tex]

0.7143 = 71.43% probability that a wife will vote.

C) What is the probability that a husband will vote, given that his wife does not vote?

Event A: Wife does not vote.

Event B: Husband votes.

The probability that the wife will vote on the referendum is 0.28

So 1 - 0.28 = 0.62 probability that she does not vote, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.62[/tex]

Probability of husband voting and wife not voting:

0.21 probability husband votes, 0.15 probability wife votes, so 0.21 - 0.15 = 0.06 probability husband votes and wife does not, so [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.06[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.62} = 0.0968[/tex]

0.0968 = 9.68% probability that a husband will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is:

The Euclidean distance between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

sqrt((x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2)

Substitute (x1, y1) = (0, 4) and (x2, y2) = (0, -8):

= sqrt((-0 + 0)^2 + (-(-8) + 4)^2)

= sqrt(12^2)

Is the line through points P(2,-9) and Q(6, -13) perpendicular to the line through points R(5,-1) and
S(1,-5)?

Answers

Two lines [tex]y_1,y_2[/tex] are perpendicular if their slopes are in a relation [tex]m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}[/tex].

So we need to find slopes and if the above relation holds then we can claim the lines are perpendicular.

To find slopes, use slope formula

[tex]m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The first slope of a line passing through [tex]PQ[/tex] is

[tex]m_1=\frac{-13-(-9)}{6-2}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1[/tex]

The second slope of a line passing through [tex]RS[/tex] is

[tex]m_2=\frac{-1-(-5)}{5-1}=\frac{4}{4}=1[/tex]

Now check if [tex]m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}[/tex] is true

[tex]-1=-\frac{1}{1}\implies -1=-1[/tex]

This means the two lines are perpendicular.

Hope this helps.

A straw is placed inside a rectangular box that is 10 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches, as

shown. If the straw fits exactly into the box diagonally from the bottom left corner to

the top right back corner, how long is the straw? Leave your answer in simplest

radical form.

Answers

The length of the straw placed inside a rectangular box with 10 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches is 2√42 inches.

To find the length of the straw, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The straw acts as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle formed by the three dimensions of the box (10 inches, 8 inches, and 2 inches).

Let the length of the straw be represented by 'l'.

According to the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]l^2 = 10^2 + 8^2 + 2^2[/tex]

[tex]l^2 = 100 + 64 + 4[/tex]

[tex]l^2 = 168[/tex]

Take square root on both sides:

[tex]l = \sqrt{168}[/tex]

[tex]l = \sqrt{4 \times 42}[/tex]

[tex]l = 2 \times \sqrt{42}[/tex]

So, the length of the straw is 2√42 inches in simplest radical form.

A square and a triangle have equal area. If the triangle has a height of 8 cm and a base of 9 cm, what is the perimeter of the square?

A:

72 cm

B:

6 cm

C:

24 cm

D:

18 cm

Answers

Answer:

A 72cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height

= 1/2 × 8× 9 = 36cm2

area of triangle = area of square

36cm2 = 36cm2

area of square = length x breath

= x x x = 36cm3

square has all sides(4) equal

therefore: 36/ 2 = 18cm (one side)

(18 x 18= 36cm3, so area is correct)

hence perimeter = 18+ 18+18+18 = 72cm

2. A person flying a kite has released 176 m of string and attached the end to the ground. The string makes an angle of 27 degree with the ground. How high is the kite? How far away is the kite horizontally? Answer to the nearest meter.

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The angle of inclination is the angle between the horizontal and the ramp.

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle formed by the ground and the ramp

let x be the angle of inclination, then

sinx = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{0.7}{4.2}[/tex] , then

x = [tex]sin^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{0.7}{4.2}[/tex] ) ≈ 10° ( to the nearest degree )

(2)

Again there is a right triangle between the ground and the vertical height of the kite, with hypotenuse being length of string.

let y be the height of the kite and x the horizontal distance, then

sin27° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{176}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 176 )

176 × sin27° = y , then

y ≈ 80m ( to the nearest metre ) ← height of kite

and

cos27° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{176}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 176 )

176 × cos27° = x , then

x ≈ 157m ( to the nearest metre ) ← horizontal distance

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1)

The angle of inclination is the angle between the horizontal and the ramp.

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle formed by the ground and the ramp

let x be the angle of inclination, then

sinx = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}hypotenuseopposite = \frac{0.7}{4.2}4.20.7 , then

x = sin^{-1}sin−1 (\frac{0.7}{4.2}4.20.7 ) ≈ 10° ( to the nearest degree )

(2)

Again there is a right triangle between the ground and the vertical height of the kite, with hypotenuse being length of string.

let y be the height of the kite and x the horizontal distance, then

sin27° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}hypotenuseopposite = \frac{y}{176}176y ( multiply both sides by 176 )

176 × sin27° = y , then

y ≈ 80m ( to the nearest metre ) ← height of kite

and

cos27° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}hypotenuseadjacent = \frac{x}{176}176x ( multiply both sides by 176 )

176 × cos27° = x , then

x ≈ 157m ( to the nearest metre ) ← horizontal distance

Answers

Answer:

10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is

[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+\text{Initial height}[/tex]

Initial height = 1600 ft

t = Time taken

[tex]0=-16t^2+1600[/tex]

Coordinates of B → (12, 12)

If a point (x, y) is dilated by a scale factor 'k' about the origin, rule to be followed,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

If k = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

(x, y) → [tex](\frac{2}{3}x, \frac{2}{3}y)[/tex]

By this rule coordinates of the image points of A and B will be,

A(8, 6) → [tex]A'(\frac{2\times 8}{3},\frac{2\times 6}{3})[/tex]

           → A'(5.3, 4)

B(12, 12) → [tex]B'(\frac{12\times 2}{3}, \frac{12\times 2}{3})[/tex]
