Answer:

0.9355

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will use here is conditional probability formula.

let A be the event that the plane departs on time

and B be the event that it arrives on time

P(A) = 0.87

P(B|A) = 0.93

P(B) = ?

P(A n B) = ?

Mathematically;

P(B|A) = P(B nA)/P(A)

0.93 = 0.87/P(A)

P(A) = 0.87/0.93

P(A) = 0.935483870967742

which is 0.9355 to four decimal places

A data analyst has spreadsheets numbered

algol [13]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

${\textrm}{Total number of objects here} = 9$

(2 spreadsheets, 3 databases and 4 presentations,

${\textrm}({Total} = 2+3+4 = 9)$

${\textrm}{No. of databases with an odd number} = 2 {\textrm}{(databases with number 1 and 3})$

As not mentioned other wise equal chances of all the outcomes is assumed so, by the classical definition of probability,

P(The chosen item is a odd numbered database)

= $\frac{2}{9}$
