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>

i need with this math problem. I am confused on how to do it. If you could help me it would be great. There are 2 parts to this
Novay_Z [31]
She took a total of 60 minutes
she answered both mulitiple choice and extended response in the total time which is 60 minutes
she took 2 minutes on rach multiple choice question and 6 minutes for the extended response
let x=number of multiple choice questions
let y=number of extended response questions
we can deduce that
total time =x*2+y*6
60=2x+6y
also we can deduce
20=x+y
since 20 ia the sum of multiple choice and extended response
for part 2 we just solve the system of equations
60=2x+6y
20=x +y
lets multiply the second equation by 2 so we can get rid of x
60=2x+6y
40=2x+2y
subtracting the two equations from each other to yields
20=0 +4y
y=5
to get x we substitute in one of the equations we derived from question 1
x+y=20
substituting y for its value we get
x+5=20
x=15
