Here is the answer of the given question above.
Since it is given that 4/5 mile is equal to 1/2 inch, what we will be looking for how many inches will there be for 1 mile. 5/5 mile = 1 mile. 
This is how it would look like.
1/2 inch....       x inch
<span>-----           =      ----- </span>
<span>..4/5 mile ...... 1 mile 
</span>Next, we cross multiply:
(1/2)1 = (4/5)x
Then divide both sides by 4/5. so we get
x = 0.025 inch
and that is 1/40 inch. Therefore, 1 mile is 1/40 inch. Hope this helps.

Five Cs Bank issues credit cards to its customers. In the past 3.4% of the out-of-state nonfraudulent credit card transactions w
kolezko [41]

Answer:

0.0838 (8.62%)

Step-by-step explanation:

defining the event G= an out-of-state transaction took place in a gasoline station , then the probability is

P(G) = probability that the transaction is fraudulent * probability that took place in a gasoline station given that is fraudulent + probability that the transaction is not fraudulent * probability that took place in a gasoline station given that is not fraudulent =  0.033 * 0.092 + 0.977 * 0.034 = 0.0362

then we use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability. Defining also the event F= the transaction is fraudulent  , then

P(F/G)=P(F∩G)/P(G) =  0.033 * 0.092 /0.0362 =  0.0838 (8.62%)

where

P(F∩G)= probability that the transaction is fraudulent and took place in a gasoline station

P(F/G)= probability that the transaction is fraudulent given that it took place in a gasoline station
