Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Based on 100 trials, we don't expect the experimental probability to deviate much from the theoretical probability. The scales on the attached graphs are hard to read, but you want to choose the graph that ...
- has bars that total 100 in their length
- has bars that are approximately .50, .25, .17, .08 in height, corresponding to the area fraction
We think the appropriate choice may be C, but we cannot tell for sure.
Answer:
0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
In this question:
Event A: Positive reading
Event B: Contains raritanium
Probability of a positive reading:
98% of 13%(positive when there is raritanium).
0.5% of 100-13 = 87%(false positive, positive when there is no raritanium). So
Positive when there is raritanium:
98% of 13%
What is the probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium?
0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium
