A competition to catch the most rainbow trout on Lake Rainbow pitched the men against the ladies. 16 men and 12 women participat

ed. Each participant had a total of 15 attempts before they retired from the competition. It was predicted that the men would have a 9% chance of catching a rainbow trout at each attempt. One participant's experience resulted in 3 successful catches. The probability that this participant was a woman is 40%. Find the probability that a participant successfully catches 3 rainbow trout, given that the participant was a woman.

The probability that a participant successfully catches 3 rainbow trout, given that the participant was a woman is 0.0042.

P(woman) = 12/28

= 3/7

P(men) = 16/28

= 4/7

P(3 trouts) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) + P(3 trout | men)*P(man)

= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (15C3 * (0.09^3)*(1-0.09)^(15*3))*(4/7)

= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)

P(woman | 3 trout) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) / P(3 trouts)

{P(3 trout | women) = p}

p*(3/7) / (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)) = 0.40

p*(3/7)/0.40 = (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7))

p*((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7)) = (0.00476)*(4/7)

p = [(0.00476)*(4/7)] / [((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7))]

= 0.0042

Solve the system or linear equations
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

37. {-1, -1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll solve the first one . The other can be solved in a similar way. We can use the method of elimination.

x1 - x2 = 0

3x1 - 2x2 = -1

We can multiply the first equation by -2. We then have an equation containing + 2x2 so when we add this to the second equation the 2x2 will be eliminated

So the first equation becomes:

-2x1 + 2x2 = 0     Bring down the second equation:

3x1 - 2x2 = -1       Now adding, we get:

x1 + 0 = -1

so x1 = -1.

Now we substitute this value of x1 in the original first equation:

-1 - x2 = 0

-1 = x2

x2 = -1.

So the solution set is {-1, -1}.

If there are more than 2 equations you can use a combination of substitutions and eliminations.
