Harrison Water Sports has two retail outlets: Seattle and Portland. The Seattle store does 60 percent of the total sales in a ye

ar. Further analysis indicates that if a sale is made in Seattle, there is 0.40 probability this is a sale of boat accessories, while if a sale is made at the Portland store this probability is 0.20. If Harrison Water Sports knows that a boat accessory has been sold, what is the probability this sale has occurred in Seattle:

Answer: P = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

The sample space of this problems is the set of all the possible sales. It is divided in the disjoint sets:

S_s = {\text{sales made in Seattle }}\\S_p={\text {sales made in Portland}}

We have also the set of sales of boat accesories S_b, the colored one in the image.

We are given the data:

P(S_s) = 0.6\\P(S_b | S_s) = \frac{P(S_b\bigcap S_s)}{P(S_s)}=0.4\\P(S_b|S_p) =\frac{P(S_b\bigcap S_p)}{P(S_p)}=0.2

From these relations you can compute the probabilities of the intersections colored in the image:

pink\;set:\;P(S_b \bigcap S_s) =0.6*0.4=0.24\\blue\;set\;:P(S_b \bigcap S_p)=(1-0.6)*0.2 =0.08

You are asked about the conditional probability:

P(S_s|S_b) = \frac{P(S_s \bigcap S_b)}{P(S_b)}

To calculate this, you need  P(S_b) . In the image you can see that the set S_b is the union of the two disjoint pink and blue sets. Then:

P(S_b)=P((S_b \bigcap S_s)\bigcup(S_b \bigcap S_p)) = 0.24 + 0.08 = 0.32

Finally:

P(S_s|S_b) = \frac{0.24}{0.32}=0.75

EastWind [94]

Answer:

280 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid + profit = cost of a lesson per hour

$2000   + $5000 = $25(h)

7000 = 25h

7000/25 = h

   280 = h

Please help -2=3x/5+1
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

X = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract one from both sides

- 3 = 3x / 5

multiply by 5 to remove fraction

-15 = 3x

divide by 3

x = -5

HELP<br> Solve the following systems using the elimination method.<br> 5x+2y = -16<br> 4x-2y = 16
velikii [3]

Answer:

x= 0 , y= -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 2 equations together, you would get:

9x = 0

Divide both sides by 9:

x = 0/9

x=0

Substitute the value of x in one of the equations to get the value of y, I picked the first one (5x+2y = -16)

5(0) +2y = -16

0+2y = -16

2y = -16

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -8
