Answer:

(a) The probability that Pickwick has no umbrella, given that it rains is 2/9

(b) The probability that it doesn’t rain, given that he brings his umbrella is 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The probability that Pickwick has no umbrella, given that it rains: P1

P1 = P (rain) * P (not umbrella)

This probability have two components, if rain forecasts or not rain forecasts:

  1. When rain is forecast Mr. Pickwick takes his umbrella, so the probability of not umbrella is zero and the probability of rain for a rain forecast is 2/3 (the weather forecaster is correct 2/3 of the time)
  2. When not rain forecast, he takes it with probability 1/3, so the probability of not takes it is 2/3 and the probability of rain with a not rain forecast is 1/3 (the weather forecaster is correct 2/3 of the time, so there is 1/3 probability of rain)

P1 = 2/3*0 + 1/3*2/3 = 0 + 2/9 = 2/9

The probability that Pickwick has no umbrella, given that it rains is 2/9

(b) The probability that it doesn’t rain, given that he brings his umbrella: P2

P2 = P (not rain) * P (umbrella)

This probability have two components, if rain forecasts or not rain forecasts:

  1. When rain is forecast Mr. Pickwick takes his umbrella, so the probability is one and the probability of rain for a rain forecast is 2/3, so the probability of rain is 1/3  (the weather forecaster is correct 2/3 of the time, so 1/3 will be wrong)
  2. When not rain forecast, he takes it with probability 1/3 and the probability of not rain with a not rain forecast is 2/3 (the weather forecaster is correct 2/3 of the time)

P1 = 1/3*1 + 2/3*1/3 = 1/3 + 2/9 = 5/9

The probability that it doesn’t rain, given that he brings his umbrella is 5/9

Using the Laws of Cosine, we obtain C^2 = 55^2+108^2-2(108)(55)*cos(59), which c approximately equals 153.44. So Line AB ≈ 153.44 meters.
