Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1st package weighs $12\dfrac{1}{2}$ pounds;

2nd package weighs $35\dfrac{1}{4}$ pounds;

3rd package weighs $41\dfrac{7}{20}$ pounds;

First, add whole numbers:

$12+35+41=88$

Now add fractions:

$\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{7}{20}=\dfrac{10}{20}+\dfrac{5}{20}+\dfrac{7}{20}=\dfrac{10+5+7}{20}=\dfrac{22}{20}=\dfrac{11}{10}=1\dfrac{1}{10}$

So, the total weight is

$88+1\dfrac{1}{10}=89\dfrac{1}{10}\ pounds$

Use the survey results to find the probability that a respondent has a pet, given that the respondent has had a pet.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Probability that the respondent has a pet given that the respondent has had a pet is $\frac{37}{81}$ or 0.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following results below;

37% have a pet now and have had a pet.

63% do not have a pet now.

81% have had a pet.

19% do not have a pet now and have never had a pet.

Let event B = respondent has a pet now

Now, Probability that the respondent has had a pet = P(A) = 0.81

Probability that the respondent has a pet now and has had a pet = $P(A \bigcap B)$ = 0.37

So, Probability that the respondent has a pet given that the respondent has had a pet is given by = P(B/A)

<u>This conditional probability is solved as ;</u>

P(B/A) = $\frac{P(A \bigcap B)}{P(A)}$

= $\frac{0.37}{0.81}$ = 0.46.

Find the probability that event A will appear at least three times in four independent tests if the probability of occurrence of

polet [3.4K]

This kind of problems are solved using Bernoulli's distribution. Everytime you have a win/lose scenario, and you know the probability $p$ of winning, and you want $k$ successes over $n$ trials, you have the following probability:

$\displaystyle P(k\text{ successes over }n\text{ trials}) = \binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

You want the probability of having at least three successes, i.e. you are interested in the cases k=3 and k=4. The corresponding probabilities are

$\displaystyle P(3 \text{ successes}) = \binom{4}{3}0.6^3 \cdot 0.4 = 4\cdot 0.216 \cdot 0.4 = 0.3456$

$\displaystyle P(4 \text{ successes}) = \binom{4}{4}0.6^4 = 0.1296$

So, the total probability is $0.3456+0.1296 = 0.4752$
