A squirrel has a 75% chance of finding food when it is sunny, but only a 25% chance of finding food when it is raining. Suppose there is a 50% chance of rain. What is the probability that a squirrel will find food?

The probability is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a 50% chance of rain, then there is also a 50% chance of not rain.

Now let's write all the probabilities:

(just take the percentage and divide it by 100%)

Probability of rain: p = (50%/100%) =  0.5

probabiity for the squirrel to find food when it rains: q = (25%/100%) = 0.25

Then the joint probability, this is, the probability that rains and that the squirrel finds food, is equal to the product of these two probabilities, this is:

P1 = 0.5*0.25 = 0.125

And we also have the case where there is no rain.

Probability that does not rain: p' = (50%/100%) = 0.5

Probability that the squirrel finds food if doesn't rain: q = (75%/100%) = 0.75

The joint probability is:

P2 = 0.5*0.75 = 0.375

The total probability that the squirrel will find food is equal to the sum of the probabilities of the squirrel finding food if there is rain, and the probability of the squirrel finding food if there isn't rain, so the total probability is:

P = P1 + P2 = 0.125 + 0.375 = 0.5

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

abde or 1,2,4, 5 is the answer
