In a certain city, 30 percent of the people are conservatives, 50 percent are liberals, and 20 percent are independents. records show that in a particular election, 65 percent of the conservatives voted, 82 percent of the liberals voted, and 50 percent of the independents voted. if a person in the city is selected at random and it is learned that she did not vote in the last election, what is the probability that she is a liberal?

Answers

Answer 1
If the person did not vote it can be:
30/100 (30%) people in the city are conservatives, and only 65/100 voted - so 45/100 did not voted.

Liberals are 50% of the city population (1/2), and 82/100 of them voted, so 100/100-82/100=8/100 did not voted!

So let’s make 2 probability events:
1) A person did not voted
2) a person is liberal

Probability that the person is a liberal: 1/2
Person didn’t voted and it’s a liberal:
1/2*8/100= 8/200=4/100 [*]

[*] To count the probability of two probability events you need to multiply them.
Answer 2

The probability that a randomly selected person from the city who did not vote in the last election is a liberal is about 16.7 percent.

We are trying to find the probability that a person selected at random from the city is a liberal given that they did not vote in the last election. We can use Bayes' theorem and the law of total probability to solve this problem. First, we need to calculate the probability of a person not voting, P(NV), and then find the probability of being a liberal who did not vote, P(L and NV).

The total probability of not voting is P(NV) = P(C) \'97 P(V|C) + P(L) \'97 P(V|L) + P(I) \'97 P(V|I), where P(C) is the probability of being conservative, P(L) is the being liberal, P(I) is the probability of being independent, and P(V|C), P(V|L), P(V|I) are the probabilities of a conservative, liberal, and independent voting, respectively.

So, P(NV) = 0.30 \'97 0.65 + 0.50 \'97 0.82 + 0.20 \'97 0.50 = 0.35 + 0.09 + 0.10 = 0.54. This is the probability that a random person did not vote. Now, we need to find the probability that a person is a liberal and did not vote, P(L and NV) = P(L) \'97 P(NV|L), where P(NV|L) is the probability of a liberal not voting.

P(L and NV) = 0.50 \'97 (1 - 0.82) = 0.50 \'97 0.18 = 0.09. This is the probability that a person is a liberal who did not vote. Finally, to find the probability that a person is a liberal given they did not vote, P(L|NV), we use Bayes' theorem: P(L|NV) = P(L and NV) / P(NV) = 0.09 / 0.54 = 1/6 or approximately 0.167.

In conclusion, the probability that a person selected at random from the city is a liberal given that they did not vote in the last election is about 16.7 percent.

-4.31 x 3.09 + (-0.98)

Answers

To find the answer, we just simply use PEMDAS, which means:
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
   (and/or)
Division
Addition
   (and/or)
Subtraction

Solve the problem in this order. Since no operations are in the parentheses, we can skip that. The first operation we will do is multiplication. I can't really explain multiplication here, but you hopefully already know it, so multiply -4.31 by 3.09. Although there are negatives and decimals, treat it as a normal multiplication problem while doing the math.

This will give you -13.3179, just move the decimal point down, and since a positive is being multiplied by a negative, the answer is negative. Once you have this number, just add it to -0.98. This is the same as subtracting, since it is negative, so in other words, just subtract 0.98 from -13.3179, and you have your answer.

This would be -14.2979, or roughly -14.2.

Gina's number is 2 more than sara's. the sum of their numbers is 68. what are their numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Gina=35, Sara=33

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina's number is 2 more than Sara's.

Lets start by saying cookies as the number.

Sum = 2 numbers add together. The answer to the equation. Lik 5+5=10. 10 is the sum.

You only know that Gina has 2 more cookies than Sara.

If Sara has 3 cookies then Gina has 5 cookies. Whats the Sum? 8.

So, you figure out an random big number but, smaller than 68.

Lets do 68 to try now.  So you do 68/2 = 34. You remember that Gina has 2 more than Sara. So, 35 cookies for Gina. So, you can guess that Sara has 33 cookies.

5x-4(2x+11)=13

solve for x
show all work please

Answers

First you have to distribute the 2x+11.
So multiply -4x2x and -4x11. 
5x-8x-44=13
Add all your like terms so 5x+-8x.
-3x-44=13. Now add 44 to both sides.
-3x= 57. Now divide both sides by -3 to get the x by itself. 
x=-19


5x-4(2x+11)=13

1)distribute the -4 to the numbers within the parenthesis.

5x-8x-44=13

2) next step you combine light terms.
''5x-8x=-3x''
so now you have -3x-44=13
3) add 44 on both sides
and you're left with -3x=57
4) divide both sides by -3 in order to solve for x; x divided by any number is always x, and 57divided by -3 is -19
5) so you're left with [n=-19] as your final answer

Your baseball team has a goal to collect at least 160 blankets for a shelter. Team members brought 42 blankets on monday and 65 on wednesday . Write and solve an inequality to find out how many blankets the team has to collect on friday?

Answers

y=160-(65+42). so it's 53

Answer:

Atleast 53

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that your basketball team has a goal  to collect atleast 160 blanket for a shelter.

Team member bought blankets on Monday =42

Team member bought blankets on Wednesday=65

We have to write an inequality and find the number of blankets  has to collect on Friday.

Let x be the number of blankets  bought by team members on Friday

According to question

[tex]42+65+x \geq 160[/tex]

[tex]107+x \geq 160[/tex]

Subtract 107 on both sides

[tex]107-107+x\geq 160-107[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 53[/tex]

Hence, team members bought atleast 53 blankets on Friday .

In a parallelogram, Consecutive angles are supplementary 5x+7x=180,so x= 15

The value of x is 15.

What is parallelogram?"It is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel.""The opposite angles of parallelogram are equal. "

For given question,

Two of the angles in a parallelogram measure 5x° and 7x°

The measure of an angle opposite to 5x° is also 5x°

Similarly the measure of an angle opposite to 7x° is also 7x°

So, we have the four angles of parallelogram as 5x°, 7x°, 5x°, 7x°

We know, the sum of all angles of quadrilateral is 360°

⇒ 5x° + 7x° + 5x° + 7x° = 360°

⇒ (5 + 7 + 5 + 7) x = 360

⇒ 24x = 360

x = 15

Therefore, the value of x is 15.

Now we solve for b
[tex]3600 = 3000b^4[/tex]

what is 50/12 in a mixed number

Answers

just divide 50 by 12

4 1/6
A fraction is when there is less than 1 whole i.e. 1/2
A mixed fraction is when there is more than 1 whole i.e. 1 3/4
A improper fraction is when there is more than 1 whole i.e. 50/12

As you may have observed, the thing which differentiates a mixed fraction from an improper fraction is that a mixed fraction's numerator is never bigger than it's denominator.
:)
50/12 is an improper fraction,
To convert this into a mixed fraction, we can find out how many times 50 fits in 12: 50/12 = 4.16666
So we know there are 4 wholes, which as twelfths are 48/12;
We can then observe the difference between 50 and 48 is 2 twelfths

So 50/12 as a mixed number/fraction is 4 wholes and 2 twelfths 
which can also be written as 4 2/12 and then simplified to 4 1/6

the product of three consecutive nonzero integers

Answers

Final answer:

To find the product of three consecutive nonzero integers, multiply the first number by the next two numbers in the sequence.

Explanation:

If the first integer is n, the next will be n+1 and the next to it will be n+2

The product of three consecutive nonzero integers can be calculated using the formula:

n * (n+1) * (n+2)= n(n^2 + 3n+ 2)=n^3 +3n^2 + 2n

where 'n' represents the first integer. For example, if we take 'n' as 2, the three consecutive nonzero integers would be 2, 3, and 4. So, the product would be 2 * 3 * 4 = 24= (2)^3+  3*(2)^2+ 2*2
