Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

m, causing encephalopathy and ultimately death. The Florida Department of Health reports the distribution of documented cases of rabies for all of 2004:
Species Racoon Fox Bat Other
Probability 0.55 0.11 0.04 X
(a) What probability should replace X in the distribution? Please use 2 decimal places.
(b) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon? Please use 2 decimal places.
(c) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox? Please use 2 decimal places.

Answer:

(a) The value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>R</em> = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

<em>F</em> = reported case of rabies is a fox

<em>B</em> = reported case of rabies is a bat

<em>O</em> = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = <em>x</em>.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, \sum P(X)=1

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30

Thus, the value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

P(A^{c})=1-P(A)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

P(blue|small) > P(small|blue)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(blue|small):  7 / (5 + 7) = 7 / 12

P(small|blue): 7 / ( 9 + 7) = 7 / 16

7 / 12 > 7 / 16

Fiona is pricing two bicycles one is 175 with 10% and the other is 225 with 35% off which bicycle can she afford if she has 150
Gekata [30.6K]
If the one for $175 is 10% off, that means Fiana pays 90% of the price

175 * 0.9 = $157.50

It is too expensive because 157.50 is more than the 150 Fiana has.

The second bike for $225 is 35% off which means Fiana pays 65% of the price.

225 * 0.65 = $146.25

She CAN afford the bike for $225
