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

In a​ survey, 400 people were asked to choose one card out of five cards labeled 1 to 5. The results are shown in the table. Com
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The value of the experimental probability is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

For the theoretical probability;

the probability that a card with the number 3 is selected is 1/5

We consider that the probabilities of each selection are equal, for the theoretical probability

For the experimental, we simply place the frequency of the selection 3 over the total

that will be 128/400 = 8/25

As we know that 8/25 is greater than 1/5

We can conclude that the value of the experimental probability is greater than that of the theoretical

The first digit may be 1 or 8.

The second digit may be 1, 2, 4, 8.

The third digit may be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.

There are 2\times4\times5=40\:variants

The probability that this is the correct code is \frac{1}{40}
