Shameel has a flight to catch on Monday morning. His father will give him a ride to the airport. If it rains, the traffic will b

e bad and the probability that he will miss his flight is 0.04. If it doesn't rain, the probability that he will miss his flight is 0.03. The probability that it will rain on Monday is 0.26. Are rain and Shameel missing his flight independent events

Answer:

The events rain and Shameel missing his flight are not independent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events that are not affected by the occurrence (or no occurrence) of other events. These events do not affect the probability of another even taking place.

For example, the events of winning a lottery and being late for work are independent.

If events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent then:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

And the conditional probability of <em>B</em> given <em>A</em> is:

P(B|A)=P(B)

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = Shameel misses his flight

<em>Y</em> = it rains on Monday morning.

The information provided are:

P(X|Y)=0.04\\P(X|Y^{c})=0.03\\P(Y)=0.26

The law of total probability states that:

P(B)=P(B|A)P(A)+P(B|A^{c})P(A^{c})

Use this law to compute the probability of <em>X</em> as follows:

P(X)=P(X|Y)P(Y)+P(X|Y^{c})P(Y^{c})\\=(0.04\times 0.26)+(0.03\times (1-0.26))\\=0.0104+0.0222\\=0.0326\\\approx0.033

If the events <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are independent then,

P(X|Y)=P(X)

But the value of P (X) is 0.033.

That is, P(X|Y)\neq P(X).

Thus, the events rain and Shameel missing his flight are not independent events.

Public opinion in the large city of Bedrock is that 60 percent of the residents are in favor of increasing taxes to fund alterna
uysha [10]

Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})

=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]

=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z

\approx0.8461  [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .

Mason plays a game by flipping two fair coins. He wins the game if both coins land facing heads up. If Mason plays 200 times, ho
aev [14]

Answer:

Total no.of possible outcomes = 200 × 4 = 800

No.of favourable outcomes = 200 × 1 = 200

P (E) = no.of favourable outcomes / total no.of possible outcomes

= 200/800

= 1/4

If 9/10 is multiplied by 8/9, will the product be greater than either of the two factors?
Goshia [24]
No, both of the numbers are less than one whole and when you multiply them (I got 4/5) 4/5 is less than both of the factors.
