Question

Make a tree diagram and find each probability.

Answer 1

Answer:  a) probability that the game will be canceled= 45%

b) probability there will be a light drizzle and the game will not be canceled=20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of heavy fog is given by

$P(F)=0.70$

Probability of a light drizzle is given by

$P(D)=0.30$

Probability of getting canceled a softball game due to light drizzle is given by

$P(C\mid D)=0.80$

Probability of getting canceled a softball game due to heavy fog is given by

$P(C\mid F)=0.30$

a. Find the probability that the game will be canceled.

Probability of getting the game be cancelled is given by

$P(C)=P(F)\times P(C\mid F)+P(D)\times P(C\mid D)\\\\P(C)=0.70\times 0.30+0.30\times 0.80\\\\P(C)=0.45\\\\P(C)=45\%$

b. Find the probability there will be a light drizzle and the game will not be canceled.

Probability that there will be a light drizzle and the game will not be canceled is given by

$P(C'\mid D)=1-P(C\mid D)\\\\P(C'\mid D)=1-0.80\\\\P(C'\mid D)=0.20\\\\P(C'\mid D)=20\%$

Hence, a) probability that the game will be canceled= 45%

b) probability there will be a light drizzle and the game will not be canceled=20%
