McLaughlin High School is selling 1,000 tickets for $10 each to raise funds for its arts programs. One ticket will be drawn, and

the person who bought it will win a $1,000 prize. What do think of such a system for raising funds? Would you buy a ticket? Why or why not?
In general, what is your personal view of games of chance, such as a raffle? Do you participate in such games? Do you have particular feelings about people who do or about those who offer them?

I honestly think its a good way of raising funds, I would absolutely buy the ticket because in as much as the probability of wining is minimal, I'd be participating in the fund raising, and I do participate in games of chances every once in a while

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume that

Spam Email be S

And, test spam positive be T

Given that

P(S) = 0.3

P(\frac{T}{S}) = 0.95

P(\frac{T}{S^c}) = 0.05

Now based on the above information, the probabilities are as follows

i. P(Spam Email) is

= P(S)

= 0.3

P(S^c) =  1 - P(S)

= 1 - 0.3

= 0.7

ii. P(\frac{S}{T}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T}{P(T)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{0.95 \times 0.3}{0.95 \times 0.3 + 0.05 \times 0.7}

= 0.8906

iii. P(\frac{S}{T^c}) = \frac{P(S\cap\ T^c}{P(T^c)}

= \frac{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) }{P(\frac{T^c}{S}) . P(S) + P(\frac{T^c}{S^c}) . P(S^c) }

= \frac{(1 - 0.95)\times 0.3}{ (1 -0.95)0.95 \times 0.3 + (1 - 0.05) \times 0.7}

= 0.0221

We simply applied the above formulas so that the each part could come

a rectanglar solid has a base with lint 2 cm and width 8 cm. If the volume of the solid is 106 cm 3 to the highest, find the hei
Vanyuwa [196]
The hint says that volume of a rectangular solid = l*w*h, where l = length, w = width, and h = height. Use this to solve for the height of the solid by plugging in the numbers you know.

You know that length, l = 2cm, width, w = 8cm, and, *EDITED* volume = 160 cm^3. Plug these values into the equation for volume (the hint) and solve for h, the height:
Volume = lwh
160 = (2)(8)(h)
160 = 16h
h = 10cm

-------

Answer: The height is 10 cm
