s, given that she has predicted rain, and the probabilitythat it does not rain, given that she has predicted that it won’t rain, are both equal to 2/3.When rain is forecast, Mr. Pickwick takes his umbrella. When rain is not forecast, he takesit with probability 1/3. Find (a) the probability that Pickwick has no umbrella, given that itrains.

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

Answer:

the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

4y = 3x

And,

12y = 9x

Here the equation that represent proportional relationship is

4y = 3x

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3x ÷ 4

Now

12y = 9x

divides both sides by 12

y = 9 ÷ 12x

y = 3 ÷ 4x

y = 0.75x

so the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Answer:

Area of circle: 1662.57 cm

Circumference of circle: 144.57 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of area of circle:

pi x r2 or radius x radius

So, it's 22/7 x 23 x 23 = 1662.571429

Formula of circumference of circle:

2 x pi x radius OR

pi x diameter

Let's use the second method, to find diameter it is radius x 2 = 46

So,

46 x 22/7 = 144.5714286
