Answer:
a) P(B'|A) = 0.042
b) P(B|A') = 0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
80% of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered
Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator,
whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator.
From the given information; it is suitable we define the events in order to calculate the probabilities.
So, Let :
A = Locator
B = Discovered
A' = No Locator
B' = No Discovered
So; P(B) = 0.8
P(B') = 1 - P(B)
P(B') = 1- 0.8
P(B') = 0.2
P(A|B) = 0.63
P(A'|B) = 1 - P(A|B)
P(A'|B) = 1- 0.63
P(A'|B) = 0.37
P(A'|B') = 0.89
P(A|B') = 1 - P(A'|B')
P(A|B') = 1 - 0.89
P(A|B') = 0.11
Also;
P(B ∩ A) = P(A|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A) = 0.63 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A) = 0.504
P(B ∩ A') = P(A'|B) P(B)
P(B ∩ A') = 0.37 × 0.8
P(B ∩ A') = 0.296
P(B' ∩ A) = P(A|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.11 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A) = 0.022
P(B' ∩ A') = P(A'|B') P(B')
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.89 × 0.2
P(B' ∩ A') = 0.178
Similarly:
P(A) = P(B ∩ A ) + P(B' ∩ A)
P(A) = 0.504 + 0.022
P(A) = 0.526
P(A') = 1 - P(A)
P(A') = 1 - 0.526
P(A') = 0.474
The probability that it will not be discovered given that it has an emergency locator is,
P(B'|A) = P(B' ∩ A)/P(A)
P(B'|A) = 0.022/0.526
P(B'|A) = 0.042
(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?
The probability that it will be discovered given that it does not have an emergency locator is:
P(B|A') = P(B ∩ A')/P(A')
P(B|A') = 0.296/0.474
P(B|A') = 0.625
2/6 = 1/3
2/5 = 4/10
Hope this helps.
M=-20/7. .........!!!!!!!!
She can get 21 portions. Since 2/3 and 42/3 already share the same denominator, all you need to do is divide 42 by 2 to get 21.
