For this case, we find the amount of each colored candy in the bag, having a total of 55.

  • Reds:

55 -------------> 100%

R ---------------> 20%

Where "R" represents the amount of red candies.

R = \frac {20 * 55} {100}\\R = 11

  • Oranges:

O = \frac {30 * 55} {100}

O = 16.5, approximately 16 orange candies.

  • Green:

G = \frac {30 * 55} {100}

G = 16.5, approximately 16 green candies.

  • Blues:

B = \frac {20 * 55} {100}\\B = 11

Now, having a total of 11 blue candies, we must find 20% to know how many have the damaged candy coating.

11 ---------------> 100%

x -----------------> 20%

Where "x" represents the quantity of blue candies with the damaged candy coating

x = \frac {20 * 11} {100}\\x = 2.2

So, of 2 blue candies have the damaged candy coating

A contractor is considering a sale that promises a profit of 26,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a loss (due to bad weather stri
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit would be the sum of all the possibility multiplied. It means,

<em>"We need to multiply the profit by its possibility and add it with the product of the loss and its possibility."</em>

<em />

This will be the expectation, or expected profit.

Let's do it:

Expected Profit = (26,000)(0.7) + (-8000)(0.3) = 15,800

The correct answer is A

Two number cubes are rolled for two separate events: 
MatroZZZ [7]

Let us first make the sample space for the event A. The Sample Space will be:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3)

As can be clearly seen the Sample Space for the event A has 30 elements in it.

Now, it is given in the question that the event A has already occurred and we need to find the probability of the event B occurring <u><em>given that the event A has already occurred.</em></u>

Now, as we can see, from the sample space, only 11 events out of the 30 are the events of interest to us. This is shown in bold below:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3)

Thus, the probability that the event B occurs given that the event A has already occurred is:

P(B|A)=\frac{11}{30}\approx0.367

In percentage the required probability is 36.7% approximately.
