At Sally's Hair Salon there are three hair stylists. 36% of the hair cuts are done by Chris, 26% are done by Karine, and the res

t are done by Amy. Chris finds that when he does hair cuts, 5% of the customers are not satisfied. Karine finds that when she does hair cuts, 6% of the customers are not satisfied. Amy finds that when she does hair cuts, 8% of the customers are not satisfied. Suppose that a customer leaving the salon is selected at random. If the customer is not satisfied, what is the probability that their hair was done by Amy

Answer:

Probability that their hair was done by Amy is 0.475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sally's Hair Salon there are three hair stylists. 36% of the hair cuts are done by Chris, 26% are done by Karine, and the rest are done by Amy.

Let the Probability of hair cutting done by Chris = P(C) = 0.36

Probability of hair cutting done by Karine = P(K) = 0.26

Probability of hair cutting done by Amy = P(A) = 0.368

Also, let NS = event that customer is not satisfied with his cutting

So, Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Chris = P(NS/C) = 0.05

Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Karine = P(NS/K) = 0.06

Probability that customers are not satisfied given that their hair cutting is done by Amy = P(NS/A) = 0.08

Now, a customer leaving the salon is selected at random. If the customer is not satisfied, the probability that their hair was done by Amy is given by = P(A/NS)

For finding the above probability we will use the concept of Bayes' Theorem;

SO, P(A/NS)  =  \frac{\text{P(A) \times P(NS/A)}}{\text{P(C) \times P(NS/C) + P(K) \times P(NS/K) +P(A) \times P(NS/A) }}\frac{P(A) \times P(NS/A) }{P(C) \times P(NS/C) +P(K) \times P(NS/K) +P(A) \times P(NS/A) }

                     =  \frac{0.38 \times 0.08}{0.36 \times 0.05+0.26 \times 0.06+0.38 \times 0.08}

                     =  \frac{0.0304}{0.064}

                     =  <u>0.475</u>

<em>Hence, the probability that their hair was done by Amy is 0.475.</em>

The length of a swimming pool is 8 m longer than it's width and the area is 105m²​
Art [367]

width= 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= L×W

L= (x+8)m

W=8m

105m²= (x+8)m × (x)m

105m²= x² + 8x

-x² - 8x + 105= 0

(x-7) (x+15) = 0

x= 7 x= -15

x=width = 7m
