Suppose you have 3 jars with the following contents. Jar 1 has 1 white ball and 4 black balls. Jar 2 has 2 white balls and 1 bla

ck ball. Jar 3 has 2 white balls and 1 black ball. One jar is to be ?selected, and then 1 ball is to be drawn from the selected jar. The probabilities of selecting the? first, second, and third jars are? 1/2?, ?1/3?, and ?1/6 respectively. Find the probability the ball was drawn from Jar 2?, given that the ball is white.

Answer:

The probability of finding the white ball from second Jar = 20/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Jar 1 contains 1 White ball and 4 black balls

P(w | J₁) = 1/5

Jar 2 contains 2 White balls and 1 black ball

P(w | J₂) = 2/3

Jar 1 contains 2 White balls and 1 black ball

P(w | J₃) = 2/3

Also, Given

P(J₁) = 1/2

P(J₂) = 1/3

P(J₃) = 1/6

P(w) = P(J₁)×P(w | J₁) + P(J₂)×P(w | J₂) + P(J₃)×P(w | J₃)

P(w) = 1/2×1/5 + 1/3×2/3 + 1/6×2/3 =13/30

To find: P(J₂ | w)

According to conditional probability,

P(J₂ | w) = P(J₂)×P(w | J₂)/P(w)

P(J₂ | w) = (1/3×2/3)/(13/30)

P(J₂ | w) = (1/3×2/3)/(13/30) = 20/39

<u>The probability of finding the white ball from second Jar = 20/39</u>

The two triangular prisms shown are similar. What is the volume of the larger prism? 36 m2 36 m3 144 m2 144 m3
kap26 [50]

Answer:

144 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find attached the image of the prisms

Volume of a triangular prism = area of the base x height  of the prism

Area of the base = 1/2 ( base x height)

the two prisms are similar, thus, the dimensions of the bigger rectangle can be gotten from the ratio of the base of the smaller and bigger triangle

ratio of their dimensions = 6 / 1.5 = 4

the dimensions of the bigger triangle is 4 times that of the smaller triangle

height of the base of the prism = 1.5 x 4 = 6

Height of the prism = 2 x 4 = 8

Area of the base of the prism = (1/2) x 6 x 6 = 18 m^2

Volume of the prism = 18 x 8 = 144 m^3
