There are three motors available to repair Ralph’s vacuum cleaner. Motor #1 has a 65% chance of breaking by the end of the week.

Motor #2 has a 35% chance of breaking by the end of the week. Motor #3 has a 5% chance of breaking by the end of week. Suppose that Ralph randomly chooses one of the three motors so that each is equally likely, and then the motor does break by the end of the week. What is the conditional probability that Ralph installed motor #1?

Answer:

0.619

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we have the following data:

probability of motor 1 breaking = 65% = 0.65

probability of motor 2 breaking = 35% = 0.35

probability of motor 3 breaking = 5% = 0.05

since we have 3 motors the probability of any of them breaking down is  = \frac{1}{3}

but what the question requires from us is the conditional probability of the first one being installed

we have to solve this questions using bayes theorem

such that:

\frac{0.65*\frac{1}{3} }{0.65*\frac{1}{3}+0.35*\frac{1}{3}+0.05*\frac{1}{3}   }

= \frac{0.2167}{0.2167+0.1167+0.0167}

= \frac{0.2167}{0.3501}

= 0.618966

approximately 0.619

therefore the conditional probability ralph installed the first motor is 0.619

SpyIntel [72]

|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/5)%(-4/7)

We will change the second fraction to make multiplication

So it will be 2/5×-7/4

Find the value of unknown angle x,y,z,a,b,c with reasons and full process​
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 70 degree (being vertically opposite angles)

y + 70 degree =180 degree (being linear pair)

y = 180 - 70

y = 110 degree

In triangle,

x + 60 + misssing angle = 180 degree (sum of interior angles of a triangle)

70 + 60 + missing angle =180

130 + missing angle = 180

missing angle = 180 - 130

missing angle = 50 degree

c = missing angle (being vertically opposite angles )

c = 50 degree

x + missing angle = a (sum of two interior opposite angles is equal to the exterior angle formed)

70 + 50 = a

120 degree = a

a = b (being vertically opposite angle

120 =b

therefore b is 120 degree

Hence , a = 120 degree , b = 120 degree , c = 50 degree , x = 70 degree , y = 110 degree
