Suppose that Juan can choose to get home from work by car or bus.
When he chooses to get home by car, he arrives home after 7 p.m. 14 percent of the time.
When he chooses to get home by bus, he arrives home after 7 p.m. 62 percent of the time.
Because the bus is cheaper, he uses the bus 83 percent of the time.
What is the approximate probability that Juan chose to get home from work by bus, given that he arrived home after 7 p.m.?
Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.9556 = 95.56% probability that Juan chose to get home from work by bus, given that he arrived home after 7 p.m.
Conditional Probability
[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.In this problem:
Event A: Arrived home after 7 p.m.Event B: Got home by bus.The percentages associated with arriving home after 7 p.m. are:
14% of 17%(by car).62% of 83%(by bus).Hence:
[tex]P(A) = 0.14(0.17) + 0.62(0.83) = 0.5384[/tex]
The probability of both arriving home after 7 p.m. and using bus is:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.62(0.83)[/tex]
Hence, the conditional probability is:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.62(0.83)}{0.5384} = 0.9556[/tex]
0.9556 = 95.56% probability that Juan chose to get home from work by bus, given that he arrived home after 7 p.m.

4g-16h
16a^2-4y^2
2x^2-4y^2
25m^3+100n^2
Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
A difference of squares has the general form
a² - b²
where the terms on either side of the subtraction ( the difference ) are both perfect squares.
The only one fitting this description is
16a² - 4y²
= (4a)² - (2y)² ← difference of squares

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6,-3) and (-6,-5)
Answer:
y = 6x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I drew a graph slope formula is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) and if the line passes through a point that is not zero (in this case it does) we add or subtract that as the y-intercept. we recently passed this so I know it.
Slope-intercept form: (y = mx + b) y = 6x - 4
Standard form: (Ax + By = C) -6x + y = -4
Point-slope form: (y - y1 = m (x - x1)) (let's use the point (6, -3)) y + 3 = 6 (x - 6)
Tell me if I'm wrong :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Bu using the formula of Two-Points form:
[tex]\frac{y-y_{1} }{y_{2}-y_{1} } =\frac{x-x_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
Substitute the points in the above equation:
y+3/-5+3=x-6/-6-6
y+3/-2=x-6/-12
-12(y+3)=-2(x-6)
-12y-24=-2x+6
2x-12y-24-6=0
