Answer:
- <em>The probability that the second favorite character will die given that the first favorite character dies is</em><u> 0.53</u>
- <u>This kind of probability is called conditional probability</u>
Explanation:
Name the events and their probabiities:
- Event A: her favorite character will survive, so P (A) = 0.70
- Event B: her her second favorite character will die, so P(B) = 0.75
- Both characters will die ⇒ P (B and not A) = 0.16
You want to find P (B | not A).
That is the probability of the succes B (the second favorite character will die) given other event (not A or the first favorite character dies) is certain (it happens) and that is called conditional probability.
- P (not A) is the complement probability of A, so P (not A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
So, you have P(B), P(not A) and want to find P (B | not A)
The definition of conditional probability is:
- P (X | Y) = P (X and Y) / P (Y)
So, replacing with our terms, we get:
- P ( B | not A) = P (B and not A) / P (not A) = 0.16 / 0.3 ≈ 0.53
Hi there!
The correct answer is 6.25 times.
This is how you get there:
1) First off, you are going to need to have the same unit (either cm or mm). I used millimeters for this problem. 25cm=250mm
2) This next part is very easy to get wrong. You need to figure out what you are dividing, and by what. Simply look at the problem. <span><em>"How much longer is the guinea pig than her fish?" </em>This shows what numbers you should be getting. The guinea pig is 250mm long, where the fish is only 40. This means that her guinea pig should be larger. 250÷40=6.25
If you did this problem the other way, you would've ended up with .16. If you put the sizes into perspective, you will notice that this is highly unlikely.
I hope that I have been able to simplify this problem for you!

Answer:
17.606
Step-by-step explanation:
root of 310 = 17.606
4/10 chance of rain Friday, 6/10 chance Saturday and 1/10 chance Sunday.
That means the chances of it not raining are 6/10 4/10 and 9/10
You multiply these together to get the chances of it not raining.
You get 216/1000 or .216 or 2.16% chance of it not raining
