the property tax in a certain country varies directly as assessed valuation. If a tax of $1,590 is charged on a single-family home assessed at $81,000, determine the property tax on an apartment complex assessed at $237,600.

$4,664

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct Variation can be set up as a proportion:

Cross Multiply:               x = 4664

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
