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.

The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference. What is the ratio of the larger number to the smaller number?
Anna11 [10]
Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2
