8. For brevity, let U = unemployed, E = employed, M = male, F = female. We're given that

P(M) = P(F) = 50/100 = 1/2

P(U) = 60/100 = 3/5

P(M | U) = 2/3

P(E) = 40/100 = 2/5

P(F | E) = 3/4

8a. This follows immediately from the given information. Specifically,

P(E) = 1 - P(U) = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

8b. By definition of conditional probability,

P(A | B) = P(A and B) / P(B)   ⇒   P(A and B) = P(A | B) P(B)

It follows that

P(M and U) = P(M | U) P(U) = 2/3 • 3/5 = 2/5

8c. Using Bayes' rule/the definition of conditional probability,

P(U | F) = P(U and F) / P(F) =  P(F | U) P(U) / P(F)

Since F and M are mutually exclusive,

P(F | U) = 1 - P(M | U)

and so

P(U | F) = (1 - 2/3) • 3/5 / [(1 - 2/3) • 3/5 + 3/4 • 2/5] = 2/5

8d. Here we assume gender and employment status are independent, so for instance

P(F and E) = P(F) P(E)

We then have by the inclusion/exclusion principle that

P(F or U) = P(F) + P(U) - P(F and U) = P(F) + P(U) - P(F) P(U)

We also have by the law of total probability

P(F) = P(F and U) + P(F and E)

so

P(F or U) = P(F and U) + P(F and E) + P(U) - P(F) P(U)

By the assumed independence,

P(F or U) = P(F) P(U) + P(F) P(E) + P(U) - P(F) P(U)

P(F or U) = P(F) P(E) + P(U)

P(F or U) = 1/2 • 2/5 + 3/5 = 4/5

a. This is mostly a matter of counting the ways a given type of stamp can fall out.

P(A) = \dfrac{\dbinom{20}3}{\dbinom{24}3} = \dfrac{285}{506}

since there are 20 non-green stamps.

P(B) = \dfrac{\dbinom21 \dbinom{22}2}{\dbinom{24}3} = \dfrac{21}{92}

since there are 2 red and unused stamps, 1 of which we want; the other 2 stamps come from the remaining 22 non-red-and-unused stamps.

P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{\dbinom21 \dbinom{18}2}{\dbinom{24}3} = \dfrac{153}{1012}

since exactly 1 of the stamps must be red and unused, and the other 2 stamps that fall out can be neither green nor red and unused.

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{162}{253}

which follows from the inclusion/exclusion principle.

b. There is a total of 10 used stamps, so the probability of at least 1 going missing is

P(C) = \dfrac{\dbinom{10}1\dbinom{14}2 + \dbinom{10}2\dbinom{14}1 + \dbinom{10}3}{\dbinom{24}3} = \dfrac{415}{506}

By definition of conditional probability,

P(C \mid A) = \dfrac{P(C \cap A)}{P(A)}

However, there are no used green stamps; any used stamp that goes missing must be red, blue or yellow. So the event A ∩ C is really just the event C, and

P(C \mid A) = P(C) = \dfrac{415}{506}

c. A and C are independent if and only if

P(A \cap C) = P(A) P(C)

We know

P(C \cap A) = P(C)

so if A and C are independent, then

P(C) = P(A) P(C)

but this would imply P(A) = 1, which is clearly not the case as we found in 9.a. So A and C are not independent.

The olympics are held every four years. In 2016, the XXXI olympiad were held in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil. Determine the year of the
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

First Olympic held in year 1896.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Olympiad held in Rio = XXXI = 31st

Difference of years in two consecutive Olympiads = 4 years

Number of years spent in 31 Olympiads can be calculated by,

Number of years spent = (n - 1)d

Here n = number of Olympiads held

d = difference between two consecutive Olympiads

Number of years spent till 31st Olympiads = (31 - 1)×4

                                                                      = 120 years

Therefore, 1st Olympiad held in the year = 2016 - 120

                                                                   = 1896

DENIUS [597]
Answer is 3.25h = m
That’s because Sarah’s earning 3.25 per hour so if you want to figure out how much money she’s making you can just substitute your value for h. Pls mark brainliest if possible, have a nice day

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

y = -5x/4 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

Since the slope of the given line is 4/5, the opposite reciprocal of that is -5/4. So the equation has a slope of -5/4.

Since we know the coordinate of a point of the other equation, we can plug that into the point-slope form equation y - y1 = m(x - x1):

y - 2 = -5/4(x-(-8))

Simplify:

y - 2 = -5/4(x+8)

y - 2 = -5x/4 - 10

So the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = -5x/4 - 8

Dave has 12$ to spend on a 7 dollar book and two birthday cards (c) for his friends how much can he spend on each card if he buy
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you have a budget of 12 dollars, and the book is 7 dollars, subtract 12-7 and you get 5 dollars. And half of 5 dollars is 2.50. And if there is 2 cards, then that means that 1 card is 2.50
