Answer:

the likelihood is 0.02 (2%)

Step-by-step explanation:

let's define the event S as the message being classified as spam, thus the probability can be expressed as

P(S) = probability that a message picked at random originates from account #1 * probability that this message is spam given it came from account #1 + probability that a message picked at random originates from account #2 * probability that this message is spam given it came from account #2 + probability that a message picked at random originates from account #3 * probability that this message is spam given it came from account #3 = 0.6 * 0.01 + 0.3 * 0.03 + 0.1 * 0.05 = 0.02 (2%)

therefore, the probability is 0.02 (2%)

zzz [12365]
The set of rental car rates making it more economical for Jamal than employing taxi services is outlined as A = {x | 0 ≤ x < 26} [where x represents dollars]. The step-by-step breakdown is as follows: Let the rental cost be $x per day. With Jamal's trip extending over 4 days, factoring in $24 for gas, and estimating taxi costs at around $128, an inequality emerges: 128 > 24 + 4x. Thus simplifying leads to 4x < 104 and consequently x < 26.

Ariel left her home at 9 a.m., driving at 45 mph. At 11 a.m. her brother left the home and started after her at 60 mph. At what
lawyer [12517]

Response:

Her brother catches up to her at 11 am + 4 hours = 15 p.m

Detailed explanation:

Provided information;

Ariel's speed = 45 mph

She departed at 9 a.m

Her brother's speed = 60 mph

He began at 11 a.m

Inferred from the question: Since Ariel's speed is 45 mph, after two hours she is ahead by 90 miles.

Meanwhile, her brother travels at 60 mph, hence he is traveling (60 - 45) = 15 mph faster

Therefore, with this speed, he will catch up to her in \frac{90}{15} = 4 hours.

So her brother catches up with her at 11 am + 4 hours = 15 p.m

babunello [11817]
2x − y = −4 → 10x − 5y = −20
3x + 5y = 59 → 3x + 5y = 59
13x = 39..... this is derived from adding the two equations on the right.

13x = 39 can be used in place of 3x + 5y = 59 in the initial system and will yield the same result.
