Eighty percent of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. Of the air

craft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator, whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered? (b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Answer:

a) P(B'|A) = 0.042

b) P(B|A') = 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

80% of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered

Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator,

whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator.

From the given information; it is suitable we define the events in order to calculate the probabilities.

So, Let :

A = Locator

B = Discovered

A' = No Locator

B' = No Discovered

So; P(B) = 0.8

P(B') = 1 - P(B)

P(B') = 1- 0.8

P(B') = 0.2

P(A|B) = 0.63

P(A'|B) = 1 - P(A|B)

P(A'|B) = 1- 0.63

P(A'|B) = 0.37

P(A'|B') = 0.89

P(A|B') = 1 - P(A'|B')

P(A|B') = 1 - 0.89

P(A|B') = 0.11

Also;

P(B ∩ A) = P(A|B) P(B)

P(B ∩ A) = 0.63 × 0.8

P(B ∩ A) = 0.504

P(B ∩ A') =  P(A'|B) P(B)

P(B ∩ A') = 0.37 × 0.8

P(B ∩ A') = 0.296

P(B' ∩ A) = P(A|B') P(B')

P(B' ∩ A) = 0.11 × 0.2

P(B' ∩ A) = 0.022

P(B' ∩ A') =  P(A'|B') P(B')

P(B' ∩ A') = 0.89 × 0.2

P(B' ∩ A') = 0.178

Similarly:

P(A) = P(B  ∩  A ) + P(B'  ∩  A)

P(A) = 0.504 + 0.022

P(A) = 0.526

P(A') = 1 - P(A)

P(A') = 1 - 0.526

P(A') =  0.474

The probability that it will not be discovered given that it has an emergency locator is,

P(B'|A) =  P(B' ∩ A)/P(A)

P(B'|A) = 0.022/0.526

P(B'|A) = 0.042

(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

The probability that it will be discovered given that it does not have an emergency locator is:

P(B|A') = P(B ∩ A')/P(A')

P(B|A') = 0.296/0.474

P(B|A') = 0.625

Do you prefer Thai food or chinese food. is the question baised
Ksenya-84 [330]
No, this would not be a biased question unless the people asked were all Thai people or all Chinese people. Then the information would be skewed because naturally, Chinese people would favor Chinese food and same for Thai.

Why is volume of a cone is written in cubic units
frutty [35]

Answer:

The formula for the volume of a cone is 1/3 Bh. This means 1/3 the Area of the base times the height. You can calculate the area by multiply length and width. Area is two-dimensional. Multiplying height by it adds another dimension. When writing area, we say units squared. When writing volume, we say units cubed, because it is three dimensional.

Fernando needs a total of 6
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Equation: 6f = 5

Result: 6/5 cup of flour is needed for each batch of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 cups of flour makes 5 batches of bread

Required

His much flour is needed for each batch.

Let f represent a cup of flour.

The statement "total of 6 cups of flour to make 5 batches of bread." means that

f + f + f + f + f + f = 5 batches of bread

f * 6 = 5

6f = 5

The above equation will give the number of cup needed for 1 batch of bread.

To do that, we simply divide both sides by 5

6f/5 = 5/5

6f/5 = 1

Hence,

The equation is represented by: 6f = 5

And the result is: 6/5 cup of flour is needed for each batch of bread

Uh Expanded form pls? 4.02 x 10^5
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

4.02 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The part that needs expanding is the exponent. Since it is to the power of 5 there needs to be 5 written out 10's, all multiplied.

4.02 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
