Birdseed costs $0.52 a pound and sunflower seeds cost $0.82 a pound. Angela Leinenbachs' pet store wishes to make a 40-pound mixture of birdseed and sunflower seeds that sells for $0.72 per a pound. How many pounds of each type of seed should she use?

5/12, or 5: 12

step-by-step explanation:

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560

part a: 1.08

part b: 27.59
