The prior probabilities for events A1 and A2 are P(A1) = 0.30 and P(A2) = 0.55. It is also known that P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0. Suppose P(

B | A1) = 0.20 and P(B | A2) = 0.05. If needed, round your answers to three decimal digits.a) Are A1 and A2 mutually exclusive? b) Compute P(A1 ∩ B) and P(A2 ∩ B). c) Compute P(B). d) Apply Bayes’ theorem to compute P(A1 | B) and P(A2 | B).

We're given the following probabilities:

P(A_1)=0.30

P(A_2)=0.55

P(A_1\cap A_2)=0

P(B\mid A_1)=0.20

P(B\mid A_2)=0.05

(a) Yes, A_1 and A_2 are mutually exclusive. This is exactly what zero probability of their intersection means. The two events cannot occur simultaneously.

(b) Use the definition of conditional probability to expand:

P(A_1\cap B)=P(A_1)P(B\mid A_1)=0.30\cdot0.20=0.06

P(A_2\cap B)=P(A_2)P(B\mid A_2)=0.55\cdot0.05=0.0275

(c) By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(A_1\cap B)+P(A_2\cap B)=0.06+0.0275=0.0875

(d) Bayes' theorem says

P(A_1\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A_1)P(B\mid A_1)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.30\cdot0.20}{0.0875}\approx0.686

P(A_2\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A_2)P(B\mid A_2)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.55\cdot0.05}{0.0875}\approx0.314

Which diagram shows lines that must be parallel lines cut by a transversal? 2 horizontal lines are intersected by a third line.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  (A)  At the intersection of the first line with the third line, the bottom left angle is 115 degrees. At the intersection of the second line with the third line, the uppercase left angle is 65 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate interior angles are supplementary when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. The first description seems to be describing alternate interior angles. (See attachment)

_____

<em>Comment on orientation</em>

If the transversal is oriented horizontally, then the descriptions of the angles will be of different angles than assumed here.

A farmer wants to seed and fence a section of land. Fencing costs $27 per yard. Grass seed costs $2 per square foot. How much do
Lilit [14]

From.the calculated area and perimeter of the field, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

<h3>What is the area of the field?</h3>

The area of the field is calculated as follows:

Area of square = 450 ft × 450 ft = 202500 square feet

Area of triangle = (450 ft × 120 ft)/2 = 27000 square feet

Area of field = 229500 square feet

Cost of seeding the field = 229500 × $2 = $459000

Perimeter of the field = 450 + 450 + 450 + 255 + 255 = 1860 ft

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1860 ft = 1860 × 1/3 yards = 620 yards

Cost of fencing = 620 × $27 = $16740

Total cost of seeding and fencing = $475200

Therefore, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.
