Answer:

a) There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability that Alice watches TV.

If Alice watches TV, an 80% probability Betty watches TV.

If Alice does not watch TV, a 0% probability that Betty watches TV, since she cannot turn the TV on by herself.

a) What is the probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow?

Alice watches 60% of the time. Betty watches in 80% of the time Alice watches. So:

P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) What is the probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow?

Since Betty only watches when Alice watches(80% of the time), this probability is the same as the probability of both of them watching. So

P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) What is the probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow?

There is a 60% probability that Alice watches TV tomorrow. If she watches, there is an 80% probability that Betty watches and a 20% probability she does not watch.

So

P = 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

n = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Apply the distributed property, so it now looks like this: -3n + -18 + 10 = -9
  2. Combine like terms: -3n + -8 = -9
  3. Simplify: -3n - 8 = -9
  4. Add 8 to each side, so it now looks like this: -3n = -1
  5. Divide each side by -3 to cancel out the -3 next to n. It should now look like this: n = 1/3

I hope this helps!
