Answers:

a) 0.705479 oz

b) Over 1/2 oz Class B felony

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's make the conversion from grams to ounces, knowing $1g=0.035274 oz$ :

$20g \frac{0.035274 oz}{1 g}=0.705479 oz$

On the other hand, New York State uses the measures given in the table below to charge a suspect:

<u>Amount</u> <u> Charge </u>

Over 1/8 oz. Class C felony

Over 1/2 oz. Class B felony

Over 2 oz. Class A-II felony

Over 4 oz. Class A-I felony

According to this table, the suspect has over 1/2 oz and the charge is Class B felony.

There are three motors available to repair Ralph’s vacuum cleaner. Motor #1 has a 65% chance of breaking by the end of the week.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

0.619

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question we have the following data:

probability of motor 1 breaking = 65% = 0.65

probability of motor 2 breaking = 35% = 0.35

probability of motor 3 breaking = 5% = 0.05

since we have 3 motors the probability of any of them breaking down is = $\frac{1}{3}$

but what the question requires from us is the conditional probability of the first one being installed

we have to solve this questions using bayes theorem

such that:

$\frac{0.65*\frac{1}{3} }{0.65*\frac{1}{3}+0.35*\frac{1}{3}+0.05*\frac{1}{3} }$

= $\frac{0.2167}{0.2167+0.1167+0.0167}$

= $\frac{0.2167}{0.3501}$

= 0.618966

approximately 0.619

therefore the conditional probability ralph installed the first motor is 0.619
