Using cross-multiplication:

shadow/height

2/5 = 8/x

8x5=2x
40=2x
20=x
The lamppost is 20 feet tall.

When playing the roulette at a casino, you have exactly 1/35 chance of winning in each round if you play a single number. Your f
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

0.2275 = 22.75% probability that you actually won that round

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Fireworks going off

Event B: You won

Probability of fireworks going off.

100% of 1/35 = 0.0286(when you win)

10% of 34/35 = 0.9714(you lost). So

P(A) = 0.0286 + 0.1*0.9714 = 0.12574

Probability of you winning and fireworks going off:

100% of 1/35, so P(A \cap B) = 0.0286

If you failed to see the outcome of a round, but you see the fireworks going off, then what is the probability that you actually won that round?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0286}{0.12574} = 0.2275

0.2275 = 22.75% probability that you actually won that round
