ect an American household at random, and let A be the event that the selected household is prosperous and B the event that it is educated. According to a survey, P(A) = 0.137, P(B) = 0.272, and the probability that a household is both prosperous and educated is P(A and B) = 0.082. What is the conditional probability that a household is prosperous, given that it is educated? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

A= the event that the selected household is prosperous

B= the event that the selected household is educated

P(A) =0.137, P(B) =0.272, P(A \cap B) =0.082

P(A|B)= \frac{0.082}{0.272}= 0.3015

And that represent the final answer for this case.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the following events:

A= the event that the selected household is prosperous

B= the event that the selected household is educated

We have the following probabilities given:

P(A) =0.137, P(B) =0.272, P(A \cap B) =0.082

For this case we want to calculate the conditional probability that a household is prosperous, given that it is educated.

So this probability can be expressed as P(A|B)

Using the Bayes rule we know that:

P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}

And for this case we have everything in order to replace, and we got:

P(A|B)= \frac{0.082}{0.272}= 0.3015

And that represent the final answer for this case.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

choice A is not guaranteed since the values varied from 0 to 7.

choice B seems alright, but doesn't include about or anything about the long run.

choice C is incorrect because 50% are less than 3.12 and 50% are greater than 3.12.

choice D seems pretty good, since it says average, long run, approach, etc.

choice E is incorrect because it says "will be". It is not definite.

The |6f|= -2 I don't understand what to do
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
First you are going to solve for f. 

6f = -2 

you must get f alone so you divide both sides of the equation by 6 which becomes ....


f = -3


now you add the absolute value sign to -3. absolute value is how far away your answer is from 0. -3 is 3 away from zero so f = 3
