Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 x 1/5 = 8/15 then add to 3/10 and you get 5/6 simplifed

Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value of the discrete distribution, if you have to pay $.50 to pick one package at random, is of -$0.08.
<h3>What is the mean of a discrete distribution?</h3>
The expected value of a discrete distribution is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>.
For this problem, considering the cost of $0.5, the distribution is given as follows:
- P(X = 0.2) = 12/(12 + 15 + 23) = 12/50 = 0.24.
- P(X = -0.1) = 15/(12 + 15 + 23) = 15/50 = 0.3.
- P(X = -0.2) = 23/(12 + 15 + 23) = 23/50 = 0.46.
Hence the expected value is given by:
E(X) = 0.2 x 0.24 - 0.3 x 0.1 - 0.2 x 0.46 = -$0.08.

Answer: 5/9</h3>
As an approximate decimal, this is 0.5556 which converts to 55.56%
======================================================
Explanation:
Let's say there are 100 households (just for the sake of simplicity). We are told that 90% of them have answering machines. So that means 90 households have answering machines. In addition, 50 households have answering machines and call waiting. Those 50 households are part of the 90 mentioned previously.
We then select a house at random. Someone tells us (or we have some kind of prior knowledge) that whichever house is selected, they have an answering machine. We can ignore the 10 households that don't have an answering machine. Out of those 90 households, 50 have both features. So 50/90 = 5/9 is the probability of getting a household with both features.
The answer would be 1/2 or 50% if we didn't have the prior knowledge of the household having an answering machine. But with this prior knowledge, the conditions change and so does the probability.

You could also compute 0.50/0.90 to get the same answer.
Answer:
The ratio of the number of rotten apples to the total number of apples is 6:35
The ratio of the number of good apples to the number of rotten apples is 35:6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the wording the orders are switched.
Rotten apples: Good apples
Good apples: Rotten apples
