Answer:

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that {A1, A2} be a partition of a sample space and let B be any event. State and prove the Law of Total Probability as it applies to the partition {A1, A2} and the event B.

Since A1 and A2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, we can say

b) P(B) = P(A1B)+P(A2B)

Selecting any one coin is having probability 0.50. and A1, A2 are events that the coins show heads.P(B/A1) = 0.50 \\P(B/A2) = 0.75\\P(A1B) = 0.5(0.5) = 0.25 \\P(A2B) = 0.75(0.5) = 0.375\\P(B) = 0.625

c) Using Bayes theorem

conditional probability that it wasthe biased coin

=\frac{0.375}{0.625} \\=\frac{3}{5}

d) Given that the chosen coin flips tails,the conditional probability that it was the biased coin=\frac{0.25*0.5}{0.25*0.5+0.5*0.5} \\=\frac{1}{3}

James used a substitution to solve this system of equations. Which equation could be a result of his first step? 2x+3y=12 y=x+1.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = 1.5

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equation using the substitution methods we say let

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

substitute equation 2  into equation 1

2x+3y=12................................... equation 1

2x + 3( x + 1.5) = 12

2x + 3x + 4.5 = 12

5x + 4.5 = 12

collect the like terms

5x = 12 - 4.5

5x = 7.5

divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 5

5x/5 = 7.5/5

x = 1.5

put x = 1.5 into equation 2

y=x+1.5..................................... equation 2

y = 1.5 + 1.5

y = 3

therefore the value of x = 1.5 and y = 3 respectively.

A company provides a monthly pension to its employees. A person retiring at 62 retires and receives a full monthly pension. If t
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

  • <em><u>The reduction is 8.6%</u></em>

Explanation:

Call F the full monthly pension of a person retiring at 62.

If a person continues to work the pension grows at a rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly, so use the compounded growing formula:

  • Pension=F(1+r/12)^{12t}

Where r = 6 / 100 = 0.06, and t = number of years after retirement.

<u>For retirement at 65.5</u>:

  • t = 65.5 - 62 = 3.5

  • Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 3.5}=1.233F

<u>For retirement at 67</u>:

  • t = 67 - 62 = 5

  • Pension=F(1+0.06/12)^{12\times 5}=1.349F

<u>Percent reduction of people who retire at 65.5 compared to what they would receive at 67</u>:

  • (1.349F-1.233F)\times 100/(1.349F)=8.6\%
