Answer:

The probability that the paint  latex = 0.857

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let consider X to be the event that the customer has purchased the latex paint

Let consider Y to be the event that the customer has purchased semigloss paint.

Now, the probability of X i.e. P(X) = 0.75

SInce X and Y are mutually exhaustive)

P(Y) = 1 - P(X)

P(Y) = 1 - 0.75

P(Y) = 0.25

Similarly, Let Consider Z be the event that the customer has purchased a roller.

We are being told that P(Z|X) = 0.6

P(Z|Y) = 0.30

P(X|Z) = \dfrac{P(Z|X)(P(X) }{P(Z|X)*P(X)+P(Z|Y)*P(Y)}

P(X|Z) = \dfrac{0.6 \times 0.75 }{(0.6 \times 0.75) +(0.3 \times 0.25)}

P(X|Z) = \dfrac{0.45 }{(0.45) +(0.075)}

P(X|Z) = \dfrac{0.45 }{0.525}

P(X|Z) = 0.857

Thus, the probability that the paint  latex = 0.857

Mary has 40% fewer marbles than Jolie. If they combine all their marbles in a single bag, what percent of the marbles in the bag
dedylja [7]
The easiest way to do this would be to imagine that Jolie has 100 marbles. If Mary has 40% fewer, that means she has 60 marbles. Then if they combine all their marbles into a single bag, they will have 160 marbles, of which 100 are Jolie's. So the % that is Jolie's is 100/160 = 0.625 = 62.5%.
