Tags are attached to the left and right hind legs of a cow in a pasture. Let A1 be the event that the left tag is lost and the e

vent that the right leg tag is lost. Suppose those two events are independent and A2 the event that the right leg tag is lost. Suppose those two events are independent and P(A1) = P(A2) = 0.3
a. Find the probability that at least one leg tag is lost.

b. Find the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at least one tag is lost.

c. Find the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at most one tag is lost.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that tags are  attached to the left and right hind legs of a cow in a pasture. Let A1 be the event that the left tag is lost and the event that the right leg tag is lost. Suppose those two events are independent and A2 the event that the right leg tag is lost. Suppose those two events are independent and P(A1) = P(A2) = 0.3

a)  the probability that at least one leg tag is lost

= P(A_1 U A_2)\\= P(A_1) + P(A_2)-{(A_1 \bigcap A_2)\\=P(A_1) + P(A_2)-{(A_1 )P(A_2)

(since A1 and A2 are independent)

=0.3+0.3-0.09

=0.51

b) the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at least one tag is lost.

= P(one leg lost)/P(atleast one leg lost)

=P(atleast one leg lost)-P(Both lost)/0.51\\= \frac{0.51-0.09}{0.51} \\=14/17

c) the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at most one tag is lost.

Bob and James are finishing the roof of a house. Working alone, Bob can shingle the roof in 14 hours. James can shingle the same
Snowcat [4.5K]

we know that Bob can do the whole job in 14 hours, how much of the work has he done in 1 hour only?  well since he can do the whole lot in 14 hours in 1 hour he has only done 1/14 th of the job.

we know that James can do it in 18 hours, a bit slower, so in 1 hour he has done only 1/18 th of the job.

let's say it takes both of them working together say "t" hours, so in 1 hour Bob has done (1/14) of the work whilst James has done (1/18) of the work, the whole work being t/t or 1 whole, so for just one hour that'd 1/t done by both Bob and James.

\bf \stackrel{Bob}{\cfrac{1}{14}}~~+~~\stackrel{James}{\cfrac{1}{18}}~~=~~\stackrel{total~for~1~hour}{\cfrac{1}{t}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 126}}{\cfrac{9+7}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}}\implies \cfrac{16}{126}=\cfrac{1}{t}\implies 16t=126\implies t=\cfrac{126}{16} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{7 hrs, 52 minutes and 30 seconds}}{t=\cfrac{63}{8}\implies t=7\frac{7}{8}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{t=7.88}

Nicki has 30 pencils. for every green pencil, she has 5 purple pencils. how many pencils of of each color could she have
Hatshy [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


(1) P = 5G


(2) G + P = 30


Substituting (1) into (2) gives:


G + 5G = 30


6G = 30


G =5


So there are 5 green pencils.


Now using that in (1) gives us P = 5 x 5 = 25


So there are 5 green pencils and 25 purple pencils.
