Lyle says that 0.89 > 1.23 because 8 tenths is greater than 2 tenths. Is he right? Explain.

Lyle is incorrect because 1.23 has 1 whole and 0.89 doesn’t so therefore it isn’t greater than 1.23

Ahat [919]

Answer:Given:

P(A)=1/400

P(B|A)=9/10

P(B|~A)=1/10

By the law of complements,

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(B|A)*P(A)+P(B|A)*P(~A)

=(9/10)*(1/400)+(1/10)*(399/400)

=51/500

Note: get used to working in fraction when doing probability.

(a) Find P(A|B):

By Baye's Theorem,

P(A|B)

=P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)

=(9/10)*(1/400)/(51/500)

=3/136

(b) Find P(~A|~B)

We know that

P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400

P(~B)=1-P(B)=133/136

P(A∩B)

=P(B|A)*P(A) [def. of cond. prob.]

=9/10*(1/400)

=9/4000

P(A∪B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

=1/400+51/500-9/4000

=409/4000

P(~A|~B)

=P(~A∩~B)/P(~B)

=P(~A∪B)/P(~B)

=(1-P(A∪B)/(1-P(B)) [ law of complements ]

=(3591/4000) ÷ (449/500)

=3591/3592

The results can be easily verified using a contingency table for a random sample of 4000 persons (assuming outcomes correspond exactly to probability):

===....B...~B...TOT

..A . 9 . . 1 . . 10

.~A .399 .3591 . 3990

Tot .408 .3592 . 4000

So P(A|B)=9/408=3/136

P(~A|~B)=3591/3592

As before.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

387 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AC, b can be obtained using the cosine rule ; using the cosine relation:

b² = a² + c² - 2ac CosB

b² = 250² + 185² - 2(250*185) Cos125

b² = 62500 + 34225 - 92500 * −0.573576

b² = 96725 + 53055.820

b² = 149780.82

b = sqrt(149780.82)

b = 387.01527

b = 387 km (nearest whole number)

Answer: 1.26 inches

explanation :

because if you subtract 7 by 3.2 you'll get

3.8, 3.8 will be the total of rain if you add week 1 2 4 , then youll have to find the average by dividing 3.8 by 3 youll get 1.26 . so that means the average lenth of the rain for 1 2 4 is 1.26 inches
