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>

You are recreating a scale drawing at a different scale. The original scale is 1 cm : 8 m. The new scale is 1 cm : 2 m. In the o
densk [106]

Answer:

The segment should be 36 centimeters long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ The original scale is 1 cm : 8 m

∵ In the original drawing, the length of a segment is 9 centimeters

→ By using the ratio method

→  cm   :  m

→  1      :  8

→  9     :  x

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ 1 × x = 9 × 8

∴ x = 72 m

∴ The actual length of the segment is 72 m

∵ The new scale is 1 cm : 2 m

∵ The actual length of the segment is 72 m

→ By using the ratio method

→  cm   :  m

→  1      :  2

→  y      :  72

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ y × 2 = 1 × 72

∴ 2y = 72

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find y

∴ y = 36

∴ The drawing length of the segment is 36 cm in the new scale

∴ The segment should be 36 centimeters long
