Three workers at a fast food restaurant pack the take-out chicken dinners. John packs 45% of the dinners, Mary packs 25% of the

dinners and Sue packs the remaining dinners. Of the dinners John packs 4% do not include a salt packet. If Mary packs the dinner 2% of the time the salt is omitted. Lastly, 3% of the dinners do not include salt if Sue does the packing. If you find there is not salt in your purchased dinner what is the probability that Mary packed your dinner? 0.5625 0.018 0.032 0.15625 0.005

The probability that Mary packed the dinner is 0.15625

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The probability of an event is defined as the possibility of an event occurring against sample space.

Let us tackle the problem.

This problem is about Conditional Probability.

in general, the formula we will use is as follows :

\large {\boxed {P ( A | B ) = P ( A \bigcap B ) \div P ( B )} }

Let:

The probability of John that packs the dinners without salt packet is P(J)

The probability of Mary that packs the dinners without salt packet is P(M)

The probability of Sue that packs the dinners without salt packet is P(S)

Then :

P(J) = 45\% \times 4\% = 0.018

P(M) = 25\% \times 2\% = 0.005

P(S) = 30\% \times 3\% = 0.009

If I find there is not salt in my purchased dinner, then the probability that Mary packed my dinner is :

Probability = \frac{P(M)}{P(J) + P(M) + P(S)}

Probability = \frac{0.005}{0.018 + 0.005 + 0.009}

Probability = \frac{0.005}{0.032}

\large {\boxed {Probability = 0.15625} }

The probability of that Mary packed for dinner and the dinner contains no salt is \boxed{0.15625}.

Further explanation:

The probability can be obtained as the ratio of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

\boxed{{\text{Probability}} = \frac{{{\text{Favorable number of outcome}}}}{{{\text{Total number of outcomes}}}}}

Given:

John packs 45\% of the dinners, Mary packs 25\% of the dinners and Sue packs the remaining dinners. Of the dinners John packs 4\% do not include a salt packet. If Mary packs the dinner 2\% of the time the salt is omitted. Lastly,3\% of the dinners do not include salt if Sue does the packing.

Explanation:

The probability of John packs the dinner can be expressed as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}\left( {{\text{John}}} \right)&= 45\%\\&= 0.45\\\end{aligned}

The probability of Mary packs the dinner can be expressed as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}\left( {{\text{Mary}}} \right) &= 25\% \\&= 0.25\\\end{aligned}

The probability of Sue packs the dinner can be expressed as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}\left( {{\text{Sue}}} \right) &= 1 - 0.45 - 25\\&= 1 - 0.70\\&= 0.30\\\end{aligned}

The probability of no salt packet is packed given that the John packs for dinner can be expressed as follows,

P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{John packs}}}}} \right) = 0.04

The probability of no salt packet is packed given that the Mary packs for dinner can be expressed as follows,

P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{Mary packs}}}}} \right) = 0.02

The probability of no salt packet is packed given that the Sue packs for dinner can be expressed as follows,

P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{Sue packs}}}}} \right) = 0.03

The probability of that Mary packed for dinner and the dinner contains no salt can be expressed as follows,

{\text{P}}\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{Mary purchased}}}}{{{\text{No salt}}}}} \right) = \frac{{P\left( {{\text{Mary}}} \right) \times P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{Mary}}}}} \right)}}{{P\left( {{\text{John}}} \right) \times P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{John}}}}} \right) + P\left( {{\text{Mary}}} \right) \times P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{Mary}}}}} \right) + P\left( {{\text{Sue}}} \right) \times P\left( {\dfrac{{{\text{No salt}}}}{{{\text{Sue}}}}} \right)}}

The probability can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{P}}\left( {\frac{{{\text{Mary purchased}}}}{{{\text{No salt}}}}} \right) &= \frac{{0.25 \times 0.02}}{{0.45 \times 0.04 + 0.25 \times 0.02 + 0.30 \times 0.03}}\\&= \frac{{0.005}}{{0.018 + 0.005 + 0.009}}\\&= \frac{{0.005}}{{0.032}}\\&= 0.015625\\\end{aligned}

The probability of that Mary packed for dinner and the dinner contains no salt is \boxed{0.15625}.

You do not want the "b" since two of the equations start off at 0 kites.

x=kites purchased

Kities : y=8x

From there, all you need to do is plug in the kite purchased number replacing x.

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.<br> PLEASE HELP ME!!
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

<h2>x = 4.1 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2

We have

leg=x,\ leg=15.6cm:2=7.8cm,\ hypotenuse=8.8cm

Substitute:

x^2+7.8^2=8.8^2

x^2+60.84=77.44          <em>subtract 60.84 from both sides</em>

x^2=16.6\to x=\sqrt{16.6}\\\\x\approx4.1\ cm

What is the area of the figure in square millimeters and in square centimeters
maxonik [38]
Its quiet easy you have to split the figure in to two squares and find the area then add the area of both squares together 

so split the figure in half so its two squares 

so the bigger square is 5625 and the smaller square is <span>2500

you can use this link for the area of the square 

</span><span>https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=area+of+square

then you add the area of the squares 2625+2500=5125 

therefore the area is 5125
