Answer: Mathematically Bayes’ theorem is defined as

P(A\B)=P(B\A) ×P(A)

P(B)

Bayes theorem is defined as where A and B are events, P(A|B) is the conditional probability that event A occurs given that event B has already occurred (P(B|A) has the same meaning but with the roles of A and B reversed) and P(A) and P(B) are the marginal probabilities of event A and event B occurring respectively.

Step-by-step explanation: for example, picking a card from a pack of traditional playing cards. There are 52 cards in the pack, 26 of them are red and 26 are black. What is the probability of the card being a 4 given that we know the card is red?

To convert this into the math symbols that we see above we can say that event A is the event that the card picked is a 4 and event B is the card being red. Hence, P(A|B) in the equation above is P(4|red) in our example, and this is what we want to calculate. We previously worked out that this probability is equal to 1/13 (there 26 red cards and 2 of those are 4's) but let’s calculate this using Bayes’ theorem.

We need to find the probabilities for the terms on the right-hand side. They are:

P(B|A) = P(red|4) = 1/2

P(A) = P(4) = 4/52 = 1/13

P(B) = P(red) = 1/2

When we substitute these numbers into the equation for Bayes’ theorem above we get 1/13, which is the answer that we were expecting.

In the spring, the owner of a sporting goods store decreases the price of winter gloves from $10.00 to $8.00. She increases the
TEA [102]

Answer:

without doing the math, we can affirm that the percent in decrease in the price of the gloves is <u>not</u> the same as the percent increase of the goggles. decreasing $2 from $10 will have a lower decrease than an increase of $2 from $8 since $2 represents a higher portion of $8 compared to $10

Step-by-step explanation:

J(–6, 2) and K(3, 2) are the endpoints of the base of an isosceles triangle. Give the x-coordinate of the third vertex.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot J and K in a coordinate plane, you see that the line formed is a perfectly horizontal line through y = 2.  In order for this triangle to be an isosceles, the third x-coordinate would have to be located midway through the x-coordinates of the base.  The midpoint between the x-coordinates is found by adding the 2 x-coordinates and dividing the sum by 2.  -6+\3 = -3 and -3/2 = -3/2.  So the x-coordinate is -3.2 or -1.5

Math property x+(-x)=0
alexira [117]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bcs, in the equation x+(-x)=0 you do x-x ( which is basically x+ -x) and they cancel each other out. This means your equation is 0=0
