A student answers a multiple-choice examination question that offers four possible answers. Suppose the probability that the stu

dent knows the answer to the question is 0.9 and the probability that the student will guess is 0.1. Assume that if the student guesses, the probability of selecting the correct answer is 0.25. If the student correctly answers a question, what is the probability that the student really knew the correct answer? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 0.9730

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of the answer being correct and B be the event of the knew the answer.

Given: P(A)=0.9

P(A^c)=0.1

P(B|A^{C})=0.25

If it is given that the answer is correct , then the probability that he guess the answer P(B|A)= 1

By Bayes theorem , we have

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

=\dfrac{(1)(0.9)}{(1))(0.9)+(0.25)(0.1)}\\\\=0.972972972973\approx0.9730

Hence, the student correctly answers a question, the probability that the student really knew the correct answer is 0.9730.

A water tank is 3/4 full.
guapka [62]

x/.75=x-56/0.4

0.4x=.75x-42

-0.35x=-42

x=120

I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.

Hope this helps!
