Answer:
a) P(B'|A) = 0.042
b) P(B|A') = 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
80% of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered
Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator,
whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator.
From the given information; it is suitable we define the events in order to calculate the probabilities.
So, Let :
A = Locator
B = Discovered
A' = No Locator
B' = No Discovered
So; P(B) = 0.8
P(B') = 1 - P(B)
P(B') = 1- 0.8
P(B') = 0.2
P(A|B) = 0.63
P(A'|B) = 1 - P(A|B)
P(A'|B) = 1- 0.63
P(A'|B) = 0.37
P(A'|B') = 0.89
P(A|B') = 1 - P(A'|B')
P(A|B') = 1 - 0.89
P(A|B') = 0.11
Also;
P(B ∩ A) = P(A|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A) = 0.63 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A) = 0.504
P(B ∩ A') = P(A'|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A') = 0.37 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A') = 0.296
P(B' ∩ A) = P(A|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.11 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.022
P(B' ∩ A') = P(A'|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.89 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.178
Similarly:
P(A) = P(B ∩ A ) + P(B' ∩ A)
P(A) = 0.504 + 0.022
P(A) = 0.526
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
P(A') = 1 - 0.526
P(A') = 0.474
The probability that it will not be discovered given that it has an emergency locator is,
P(B'|A) = P(B' ∩ A)/P(A)
P(B'|A) = 0.022/0.526
P(B'|A) = 0.042
(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?
The probability that it will be discovered given that it does not have an emergency locator is:
P(B|A') = P(B ∩ A')/P(A')
P(B|A') = 0.296/0.474
P(B|A') = 0.625
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
Answer:
The temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that the weather an hour ago should be represented with the variable - x.
From the problem, we know that the temperature of the station falls at a rate of -3 degrees per hour. This means that for every hour, the temperature of the place will go down by about 3 degrees Celsius.
If the temperature of the weather station is currently 0 degrees Celsius, to find its temperature an hour earlier, it means that we will need to add 3 degrees to its current temperature, because that is what must have lost in one hour.
i.e x = 0 + 3 = 3 degrees Celcius.
This means that the temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.
