67% (0.67) because 30% like brand a and 20% of people are females that like brand A so 20:30 is 2/3 which is 0.6 repeating which rounds to 0.67

Answer:

Option D -0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Preference of Brand A =30% ⇒ P(A)=\frac{30}{100}=0.3

Preference of Brand B =70% ⇒ P(B)=\frac{70}{100}=0.7

Prefer Brand A and are Female = 20% ⇒ P(A/F)=\frac{20}{100}=0.2

Prefer Brand B and are Female = 40% ⇒ P(B/F)=\frac{40}{100}=0.4

To find : Selected consumer is female, given that the person prefers Brand A P(F/A)

Solution : Using Bayes' theorem, which state that

P(A/B)=\frac{P(B/A)P(A)}{P(B)}

where, P(A) and P(B) are probabilities of observing A and B.

P(B/A)= is a conditional probability where event B occur and A is true

P(A/B)= also a conditional probability where event A occur and B is true.

Now, applying Bayes' theorem,

P(F/A)=\frac{P(A/F)P(A)}{P(B)P(B/F)+P(A)P(A/F)}

P(F/A)=\frac{(0.2)(0.3)}{(0.7)(0.4)+(0.3)(0.2)}

P(F/A)=\frac{0.6}{0.28+0.6}

P(F/A)=\frac{0.6}{0.88}

P(F/A)=0.68

Therefore, Option D is correct probability that a randomly selected consumer is female, given that the person prefers Brand A -0.67

A rational function g is given below. Find all values of a for which ​g(a)=16. g(x)=(4)/(x+1)+(20)/(x^(2)+2x+1)
aliina [53]

Answer:

a = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(4(x+1) + 20 )/(x+1) = 16

4x + 4 + 20 = 16x + 16

12x = 8

x = 2/3

A bee flies at 10 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 18 minutes, and then
uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance from hive to flowers, in feet

flying time = 23 min - 18 min = 5 min = 300 sec

time flying to flowers = d ft × (1 sec)/(10 ft) = (d/10) sec

time flying to hive = d ft × (1 sec)/(6 ft) = (d/6) sec

d/10 + d/6 = 300 sec

:::::

d/10 + d/6 = 3d/30 +5d/30 = 8d/30 = 300

d = 300×30/8 = 1,125 ft
