What happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is in the denominator. This means that p and the value of the expression 50/p are inverse proportional. So for a big value of p, 50/p has a small positive value. For a small value of p, 50/p has a high positive value.

what happens to the value of the expression 50/p as p decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?

50/p increases from a small positive number to a big positive number.

For example

50/1000 = 0.05

50/1 = 50

10000000000000000000000000000000

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
