a) The probability  that both John and Jane watch the show is 0.12.

b.The probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is  0.1714.

c)They do watch show independent of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, as given in the question:

Probability that John watches a certain show  = 0.7   ⇒ P(J) = 0.7

Probability that Jane watches a certain show  = 0.3   ⇒ P(Je) = 0.3

Probability that John watches a certain show given Jane watches it to

 = 0.4   ⇒ P(J/Je) = 0.4

a. )  Here, we need to find the probability of  both Jane and John watching a show , P(J∩Je)

Now, by BAYES THEOREM:

P(J/Je)  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{P(Je)}

\implies  0.4  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{0.3} \\\implies P(J \cap Je) = 0.4 \times 0.3  = 0.12

Hence the probability  that both John and Jane watch the show is 0.12.

b.) The probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is P(J/Je)

By BAYES Theorem:

P(Je/J)  = \frac{P(J \cap Je)}{P(J)}\\\implies P(Je/J)  = \frac{0.12}{0.7}  = 0.1714

Hence, the probability that Jane watches the show, given that John does is  0.1714.

c) As we can see P(Jane ∩ John) =  0.12

So, the probability of both of them seeing the show TOGETHER is 0.12.

Hence, they do watch show independent of each other and the probability of doing that is 1.0.12  = 0.88

Many older homes have electrical systems that use fuses rather than circuit breakers. A manufacturer of 40-amp fuses wants to ma
zhenek [66]

Answer:

<u>Alternative hypothesis 1</u>:  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is > 40 amperes.

<u>Alternative hypothesis 2</u>:  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is < 40 amperes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the null hypothesis is the fact you want to refute and is in doubt.

So, in this specific case, <em>the null hypothesis would be that the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is 40 amperes. </em>

The alternative hypothesis are those that want to refute the null hypothesis, in this case there are 2:

<u>Alternative hypothesis 1:</u>  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is > 40 amperes.

<u>Alternative hypothesis 2:</u>  the mean amperage at which the fuses burn out is < 40 amperes.
