Answer:

A- 0.125

B- Success of climbing mount Everest is independent of age.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Let x denote success in climbing Mount Everest

Let y denote the climber is at least 60 years old.

Therefore,

P(x) = 0.31

P(y) = 0.04

P( x ∩ y) = 0.005

Probability of success when the climber is at least 60 years old =

P( x ∩ y) ÷ P(y) = 0.005 ÷ 0.04 = 0.125.

B.

The success rate is independent of age as there are both success and failure rates across board on the scale of ages of climbers.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

= 3b/4

Step-by-step explanation:

= b . 4/12 + b . 3/12 + b . 2/12

Apply the fraction rule: a/c + b/c = a + b/c

= b . 4 + b . 3 + b . 2/12

= 4b + 3b + 2b/12

Add similar elements: 4b + 3b + 2b = 9b

= 9b/12

Cancel 9b/12: 3b/4

= 3b/4
