Again we have two methods, A and B, available for teaching a certain industrial skill. There is an 80% chance of successfully le

arning the skill if method A is used, and a 95% chance of success if method B is used. However, method B is substantially more expensive and is therefore used only 25% of the time (method A is used the other 75% of the time).A worker learned the skill successfully. What is the probability that he was taught by method A?

Answer:

Given that the worker learned the skill succesfully, there is a 71.64% probability that he was taught by method A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that the worker was taught by method A, given that he learned the skill successfully.

P(B) is the probability that he was taught by method A. Method A is used 75% of the time. So P(B) = 0.75

P(A/B) is the probability that he learned the skill succesfully, given that he was taught by method A. There is an 80% chance of successfully learning the skill if method A is used, so P(A/B) = 0.8

P(A) is the probability that he learned the skill succesfully. Method A is used 75% of the time and is 80% succesfull. Method B is used 25% and is 95% succesful. So

P(A) = 0.75*0.8 + 0.25*0.95 = 0.8375

Finally

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.75*0.8}{0.8375} = 0.7164

Given that the worker learned the skill succesfully, there is a 71.64% probability that he was taught by method A.

20 points<br> What is the value of p in the linear equation ?<br><br> −4<br> −2<br> 2<br> 4
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

p=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

24p+12-18p=10+2p-6  

Subtract what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation.

24p+12-18p-(10+2p-6)=0

Then pull out the like terms(factors)

Which is: 4p+8

=4(p+2)

Put that to 0 and 4=0 which is not a solution because it's a non-zero constant.

So now put  p+2=0, subtract by 2 on both sides and the 2 cancels out and on the right side you have -2

p=-2
