. Lightning Strikes It has been said that the probability of being struck by lightning is about 1 in 750,000, but under what cir

cumstances? Below are listed the numbers of deaths from lightning since 1996. Golf/ball field Boating/ in water Outside/camping Construction Under a tree Phone Other 1996–2000 16 23 117 9 40 0 30 2001–2005 17 16 112 3 35 0 23 2006–2010 15 17 91 0 42 1 16 Choose one fatality at random and find each probability. a. Given that the death was after 2000, what is the probability that it occurred under a tree? b. Find the probability that the death was from camping or being outside and was before 2001. c.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

      P(U |D ) = 0.198

b

   P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188

c

  P(O | B) =   0.498

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of deaths is mathematically represented as

      T   =  16 +  23 + \cdots  +  16

        T   =623

The total number of deaths in 1996 - 2000 is mathematically represented as

     T_a =  16 +  23+ \cdots + 30

      T_a = 235

The total number of deaths in 2001 - 2005 is mathematically represented as

     T_b =  17 +  16 + \cdots + 23

      T_b = 206

The total number of deaths in 2006 - 2010 is mathematically represented as

     T_c =  15 +  17 + \cdots + 16

      T_d = 182

Generally the the probability that it would occur under the tree given that the death was  after  2000 is mathematically represented as

     P(U |D ) = \frac{P(A \ n\  U )}{P(A)}

Here  P(A \ n\  U ) represents the probability that it was after 2000 and it was under the tree and this is mathematically represented as

         P(A \ n\  U )   = \frac{Z}{ T}

Here Z is the total number of death under the tree after 2000 and it is mathematically represented as

         Z =  35 +  42

=>       Z =  77

=>       P(A \ n\  U )   = \frac{77}{ 623}

=>      

Also

     P(A) is the probability of the death occurring after 2000  and this is mathematically represented as

        P(A) =  \frac{T_b  +  T_c}{ T}

=>      P(A) =  \frac{ 206+  182}{623}

=>  

So

         P(U |D ) = \frac{\frac{77}{ 623} }{ \frac{ 206+  182}{623}}

=>      P(U |D ) = 0.198

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside and was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

      P(O | B) = \frac{T_z}{ T}

Here T_z is the total number of death outside / camping before 2001  and the value is  117  

So

            P(O \ n \ B) = \frac{117}{623}

=>          P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside given that it was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

       P(O | B) =  \frac{ P( O \ n \ B)}{ P(B)}

Here P(B) is the probability that it was before 2001 , this is mathematically represented as  

          P(B ) =  \frac{T_a}{T}

=>       P(B ) =  \frac{235}{623}

So

          P(O | B) =  \frac{ \frac{117}{623}}{ \frac{235}{623}}

=>       P(O | B) =   0.498

Find the surface area of the pyramid.
Monica [59]

Answer:

306 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area = area of base + lateral area

surface area = s^2 + 4bh/2

surface area = (10 mi)^2 + 4(10 mi)(10.3 mi)/2

surface area = 306 mi^2

What is the equation for the following graph?<br> a. y=-4<br> b. y=4<br> c. x=4<br> d. x=-4
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinate pair (4,y)

We observe that,

y can take any real values to lie on the graph of the equation.

As y really isn't a constant, we exclude it and take the equation as x=4

William had a borad that was 5ft. 3in. He cut off a peice that was 2ft. 8in. long. How much board does he have left?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
All you have to do here is convert the mixed number measurements to inches. Because there are 12 inches in a foot, 5ft. 3in. becomes 63 inches. 2ft. 8in. becomes 32 inches. 63-32=31 inches, which is 2ft. 7in.
