Answer:
a) 0.50575,
b) 0.042
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1.5. A person goes shopping 3 times. The probability of buying a good product for the first time is 0.7.
If the first time you can buy good products, the next time you can buy good products is 0.85; (I interpret this as, if you buy a good product, then the next time you buy a good product is 0.85).
And if the last time I bought a bad product, the next time I bought a good one is 0.6. Calculate the probability that:
a) All three times the person bought good goods.
P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Good on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =
P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Good on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st and 2nd shopping events yield Good) =
(0.7)(0.85)(0.85) =
0.50575
b) Only the second time that person buys a bad product.
P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Bad on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =
P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Bad on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st is Good and 2nd is Bad shopping events) =
(0.7)(1-0.85)(1-0.6) =
(0.7)(0.15)(0.4) =
0.042
Subtract b and then a = (zma) - b
Answer:
The orchid sold 2,241 apples.
Answer: Maximum 6 miles
Step-by-step explanation: In total you have $20.
Base fare of taxi is $5.
Per mile cost is $2.50.
Your total cost is where x is the number of miles. Since you're on a budget of maximum $20, the cost should be less than or equal to $20. We can write:
To find how many miles we can write, let's solve the inequality:
.
This means 6 is the maximum number of miles you can ride with $20.
