Answer:

0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the transferred ball was blue.

B be the event that the red ball is selected from box 2

C be the event that the transferred ball was red

Then:

P(A) be the probability that the transferred ball was blue, which is 3/8

P(C) be the probability that the transferred ball was red, which is 5/8

P(B|A) is the probability that selected ball is red, given that the transferred ball was blue, which is 4/7

P(B|C) is the probability that selected ball is red, given that the transferred ball was red, which is 5/7

P(B) is the probability that the selected ball is red, which there are 2 scenarios, given that the transferred ball is blue and red

P(B) = P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|C)P(C)

P(B) = \frac{4}{7}\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{7}\frac{5}{8}

P(B) = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{25}{56} = \frac{37}{56}

P(A|B) is the probability that the transferred ball was blue, given that a red ball is selected from Box 2, which can be solved using Bayes theorem

P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{\frac{4}{7}*\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{37}{56}} = \frac{3}{14}\frac{56}{37} = \frac{12}{37} = 0.324

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money
Archy [21]
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.
