Every evening, two weather stations issue weather forecast for the next day. The weather forecasts are independent. On average,

the weather forecast of station 1 is correct 90% of the cases, irrespective of weather type. This percentage is 80% for station 2. Suppose that, without any forecast, the belief is that the next day rains or has sunny weather each with a 50% chance. On a given day, station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain. What is the probability that the weather forecast of station 1 will be correct?

Answer:

The probability is 0.6923

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call R the event that the next day rains, S the event that the next day has sunny weather, R2 the event that the station 2 predicts rain and S1 the event that station 1 predict sunny weather.

The probability that the next day has sunny weather given that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day and station 2 predicts rain is calculated as:

P(S/S1∩R2) = P(S∩S1∩R2)/P(S1∩R2)

Where P(S1∩R2) = P(R∩S1∩R2) + P(S∩S1∩R2)

So, the probability P(R∩S1∩R2) that the next day rains, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(R∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.1 * 0.8 = 0.04

Because 0.5 is the probability that the next day rains, 0.1 is the probability that station 1 predicts sunny weather given that it is going to rain and 0.8 is the probability that station 2 predicts rain given that it is going to rain.

At the same way, the probability P(S∩S1∩R2) that the next day has sunny weather, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(S∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.9 * 0.2 = 0.09

Then, the probability P(S1∩R2) that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain is:

P(S1∩R2) = 0.04 + 0.09 = 0.13

Finally, P(S/S1∩R2) is:

P(S/S1∩R2) = 0.09/0.13 = 0.6923

Answer:

  • A'(-3, 12)
  • B'(9, 6)
  • C'(-6, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation about the origin multiplies each coordinate value by the dilation factor.

For dilation factor k, the new coordinates are ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (kx, ky)

Your dilation factor is 3, so the transformation is ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (3x, 3y)

  A(-1, 4) ⇒ A'(-3, 12)

  B(3, 2) ⇒ B'(9, 6)

  C(-2, -2) ⇒ C'(-6, -6)

What is the rate of change and initial value of the linear function modeled by a line passing through the points (0,8) and (3,-1
kumpel [21]
The rate of change is equal to rise over run
= (-1 - 8)÷(3 - 0)
= -9 ÷ 3
= -3

When you say initial value I'm assuming you mean the y-intercept

In that case you first need to find the equation of the line by substituting the gradient and point into the gradient intercept formula

y - 8 = -3(x - 0)
y = -3x + 8

The y-intercept is when x = 0 so,

y = -3(0) + 8
Therefore y = 8

Write the equation that represents the line that goes through the point (5, -7) and has slope m=-3
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<u>y = -3x + 8</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given :-</u>

Point on line = (5, -7)

Slope (m) = -3

<u>To find :-</u>

Equation of line

<u>Solving :-</u>

Using point-slope form of equation,

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y + 7 = -3(x - 5)

y + 7 = -3x + 15

<u>Solution :-</u>

<u>y = -3x + 8</u>
