Find the least common denominator for all fractions: 12

3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
1/6 = (1*2)/(6*2)
1/4 = (1*3)/(4*3)

Take the converted fractions to have the honey used taken away from the original total.

Answer:

1. $P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

2. $P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

3. $P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$P(s_1)=0.1, P(s_2)=0.6, P(s_3)=0.3$

$P(I|s_1)=0.15,P(I|s_2)=0.2,P(I|s_3)=0.1$

(1)

We need to find the value of P(s₁|I).

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{(0.15)(0.1)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.165}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₁|I) is $\frac{1}{11}$ .

(2)

We need to find the value of P(s₂|I).

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{P(I|s_2)P(s_2)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{(0.2)(0.6)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.165}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₂|I) is $\frac{8}{11}$ .

(3)

We need to find the value of P(s₃|I).

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{(0.1)(0.3)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.165}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₃|I) is $\frac{2}{11}$ .

Will Give Brainlyest Please Help!!

Rainbow [258]

Well, since these are rectangles, and both have 2 measurements, it would be quite simple, you must find how 9 and 15 are similar, then see if that same similarity is found within the 3 and the 5.
the answer is yes, they are similar because...
9×1 1/3=15
and
3× 1/3=5
therefore they are similar.
hope this helped, plz follow me
