New codes to destroy the First Order are known to exist. With probability 0.6, the codes are hidden by Leia; with probability 0.

4, they are hidden by Han Solo. When Leia hides the codes, she hides them with BB-8 70% of the time and with C-3PO 30% of the time. Han Solo is equally likely to hide them with BB-8 and C-3PO a. What is the probability that the codes are with BB-8? b. Given that the codes are with C-3PO, what is the probability the codes were hidden by Han Solo?

Answer: (a). 0.62 (b). 0.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us start by defining some events seen:

Given;

L rep the event that codes hidden Leia

BB represents the codes hidden in BB-8

H is the event that codes hidden by Hah

C-3PO rep the codes hidden in C3PO

Giving the probabilities, we have that

P(L)  =  probability that codes are hidden by Leia = 0.6

P(H) = probability that codes are hidden by Hah = 0.4

where P(BB/L) = 70/10 i.e 70%

P(C-3PO/L) = 1 - P(BB/L) = 1 - 7/10 = 3/10

Also, P(BB/H)  = 1/2 = P(C-3PO/H)

We can say that Han Solo is likely to hide them in aceta BB-8 and C-3PO

To begin,

(a). The question tell us to find the probability that the codes are with BB-8.

First of all, we find P(BB).

P(BB) = P(L)*P(BB/L) + P(H)*P(BB/H)

solving this we get

P(BB) = 0.6*7/10 + 0.4*1/2 = 0.62

Therefore,  the probability that the codes are with BB-8 = 0.62

(b). The second question says;

Given that the codes are with C-3PO, what is the probability the codes were hidden by Han Solo?

This tell us to find P(H/C-3PO)

P(H/C-3PO) = P(C-3PO/H)*P(H) / P(C-3PO/H) + P(C-3PO/L)*P(L)

inputting the values gives us;

P(H/C-3PO) = 1/2 * 0.4 / ( 1/2 *0.4 + 3/10 *0.6) = 0.53

SO we have that the probability the codes were hidden by Han Solo = 0.53

cheers I hope this was helpful!!

If a new college graduate wants a car costing $21,000, how much must be saved annually over the next four years if the funds ear
fgiga [73]
I'm assuming the funds earn 5% yearly?

Call x the amount he saves every year.  The first year's deposit will be multiplied by 1.05 three times, the next will be multiplied by 1.05 twice, the third will be multiplied by 1.05 once, and the fourth will not generate interest (as it will immediately be used to buy the car).

Therefore, x(1.05^3+1.05^2+1.05+1)=21000, so 4.31x=21000.  Dividing by 4.31, we see that x is approximately equal to 4872.
