A company is considering producing a new children's bar soap. A market research firm has told the company that if they perform a survey, a positive survey of a favorable market occurs 65 percent of the time. That is, P(positive survey ∣ favorable market) = 0.65. Similarly, 40 percent of the time the survey falsely predicts a favorable market; thus, P(positive survey ∣ unfavorable market) =0.40. These statistics indicate the accuracy of the survey. Prior to contacting the market research firm, the company's best estimate of a favorable market was 50 percent. So, P(favorable market) = 0.50 and P(unfavorable market) = 0.50. Using Bayes' theorem, determine the probability of a favorable market given a favorable survey.

A) 0.62
B) 0.38
C) 0.53
D) 0.65
E) None of the above

In one day there are too high tides into low tides and equally spaced intervals the high tide is observed to be 6 feet above the average sea level after six hours passed a low tide occurs at 6 feet below the average sea level in this task you will model this occurrence using a trigonometric function by using x as a measurement of time assume the first high tide occurs at x=0. a. what are the independent and dependent variables? b. determine these key features of the function that models the tide: 1.amplitude 2.period 3.frequency 4.midline 5.vertical shift 6.phase shift c. create a trigonometric function that models the ocean tide for a period of 12 hours. d.what is the height of the tide after 93 hours?
