<span><span>Let x = amt of water evaporated

.05(50) = .08(50-x)
2.5 = 4 - .08x
.08x = 4 - 2.5
.08x = 1.5
x = 
x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated

Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right?
.05(50) = .08(50-18.75)
.05(50) = .08(31.25)
2.5 = 2.5</span><span>

V125BC [204]

We're told that

P(A)=\dfrac1{200}=0.005\implies P(A^C)=0.995

P(B\mid A)=0.7

P(B\mid A^C)=0.05

a. We want to find P(A\mid B). By definition of conditional probability,

P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(B\cap A)+P(B\cap A^C)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)

Then

P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(B\mid A)P(A)}{P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)}\approx0.0657

(the first equality is Bayes' theorem)

b. We want to find P(A^C\mid B^C).

P(A^C\mid B^C)=\dfrac{P(A^C\cap B^C)}{P(B^C)}=\dfrac{P(B^C\mid A^C)P(A^C)}{1-P(B)}\approx0.9984

since P(B^C\mid A^C)=1-P(B\mid A^C).

Thee questionn is beloww
Phantasy [73]

Given:

m\angle ABC=60

To find:

The m\angle ADC.

Solution:

In circle B, \angle ABC is central angle and \angle ADC is inscribed angle from two points A and C.

According to central angle theorem, central angle is always twice of inscribed angle.

m\angle ABC=2(m\angle ADC)         [Central angle theorem]

60=2(m\angle ADC)

Divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{60}{2}=m\angle ADC

30=m\angle ADC

Therefore, m\angle ADC=30.
