In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.42, for a spring day is 0.23, for a summer day

is 0.16, and for a fall day is 0.51. Each of these seasons lasts one quarter of the year. If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

Answer:

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

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

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening

In this question:

Event A: Rain

Event B: Winter day

Probability of rain:

0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).

So

P(A) = 0.42*0.25 + 0.23*0.25 + 0.16*0.25 + 0.51*0.25 = 0.33

Intersection:

Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.42*0.25 = 0.105

If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?

P(B|A) = \frac{0.105}{0.33} = 0.3182

31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day

Please help i don’t understand

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles share a vertex point, and have opposite rays for sides. In short, they are across the point of intersection from each other. Vertical angles do not have a common side (they are <em>not</em> adjacent).

The first part of the problem is to identify angle NCA. That is shown in red in the attachment. The vertical angle is across the point of intersection. It is angle 3.

Pleaseeeee help!!! 50 points and BRAINLIEST
pochemuha

Answer:

disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range is a measure of how spread out values are in a data set.

It doesn't actually consider the values, it is found by finding the range between the Q1 / 25th percentile and the Q3 / 75th percentile --and a "range" is found by finding the difference between these two numbers (by subtracting).

So, the weather could have been something like:

79 79 79 80 81 81 83 85 96 97

79 79 79 80 81 |  81 83 85 96 97

meaning that the interquartile range is 6, but these temperatures are not low

(if you want me to explain how to find the interquartile range more thoroughly, please let me know)
