zysi [14]

Answer: a) 0.0792 b) 0.264

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Event D = Families own a dog .

Event C = families own a cat .

Given : Probability that families own a dog : P(D)=0.36

Probability that families own a dog also own a cat : P(C|D)=0.22

Probability that families own a cat : P(C)= 0.30

a) Formula to find conditional probability :

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=P(B|A)\times P(A)$ (1)

Similarly ,

$P(C\cap D)=P(C|D)\times P(D)\\\\=0.22\times0.36=0.0792$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat : 0.0792

b) Again, using (2)

$P(D|C)=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{P(C)}\\\\=\dfrac{0.0792}{0.30}=0.264$

Hence, the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat = 0.264

A 5-card hand is dealt from a perfectly shuffled deck. Define the events: A: the hand is a four of a kind (all four cards of one

TiliK225 [7]

In a hand of 5 cards, you want 4 of them to be of the same rank, and the fifth can be any of the remaining 48 cards. So if the rank of the 4-of-a-kind is fixed, there are $\binom44\binom{48}1=48$ possible hands. To account for any choice of rank, we choose 1 of the 13 possible ranks and multiply this count by $\binom{13}1=13$ . So there are 624 possible hands containing a 4-of-a-kind. Hence A occurs with probability

$\dfrac{\binom{13}1\binom44\binom{48}1}{\binom{52}5}=\dfrac{624}{2,598,960}\approx0.00024$

There are 4 aces in the deck. If exactly 1 occurs in the hand, the remaining 4 cards can be any of the remaining 48 non-ace cards, contributing $\binom41\binom{48}4=778,320$ possible hands. Exactly 2 aces are drawn in $\binom42\binom{48}3=103,776$ hands. And so on. This gives a total of

$\displaystyle\sum_{a=1}^4\binom4a\binom{48}{5-a}=886,656$

possible hands containing at least 1 ace, and hence B occurs with probability

$\dfrac{\sum\limits_{a=1}^4\binom4a\binom{48}{5-a}}{\binom{52}5}=\dfrac{18,472}{54,145}\approx0.3412$

The product of these probability is approximately 0.000082.

A and B are independent if the probability of both events occurring simultaneously is the same as the above probability, i.e. $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$ . This happens if

the hand has 4 aces and 1 non-ace, or
the hand has a non-ace 4-of-a-kind and 1 ace

The above "sub-events" are mutually exclusive and share no overlap. There are 48 possible non-aces to choose from, so the first sub-event consists of 48 possible hands. There are 12 non-ace 4-of-a-kinds and 4 choices of ace for the fifth card, so the second sub-event has a total of 12*4 = 48 possible hands. So $A\cap B$ consists of 96 possible hands, which occurs with probability

$\dfrac{96}{\binom{52}5}\approx0.0000369$

and so the events A and B are NOT independent.

15 tsp of black pepper was used. 2 half tsp = one whole tsp. 12 half tsp is equivalent to 6 tsp. Multiply 1 1/4 by 12 and you get 15. <span />

The sum of a number x and 5 equals 14

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x+5=14, then you would subtract 5 from 14. 14-5=9. So that means x equals 9.
