Since the specific conclusion is based on a general premise, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

<h3>What is deductive reasoning?</h3>

Suppose that E and F are two events and that N(E and F)=300 and N(E)=730. What is P(F|E)?

marin [14]

Answer:

$\displaystyle\frac{30}{73}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of conditional probability is:

$\displaystyle P(F|E)=\frac{P(E \cap F)}{P(E)}$

And if we called N(U) the total number of possible outcomes, then remember by definition of probability:

$\displaystyle P(E \cap F)=\frac{N(E \cap F)}{N(U)}\\\displaystyle P(E)=\frac{N(E)}{N(U)}$

Then plugging them into the formula of conditional probability we get:

$\displaystyle P(F|E)=\frac{\frac{N(E \cap F)}{N(U)}}{\frac{N(E)}{N(U)}}$

Then we simplify and we get:

$\displaystyle P(F|E)=\frac{N(E \cap F)}{N(E)}$

We just plug the given info and we get:

$\displaystyle P(F|E)=\frac{300}{730}=\frac{30}{70}$

Two cones have the same radii but one has a height four times larger than the other. How many small cones would be needed in ord

hram777 [196]

Since the radius is the same but the height changes, the volume would change by the multiple of the height.
In this case the volume of the larger cone would be 4 times as large as the smaller cone so you would need 4 small cones
