10% of the downtown residents of a town in the Plains live in mobile homes. Based on data from past tornadoes, if a tornado goes

through downtown and a person lives in a mobile home, there is a 0.3 probability the person will die as a result of the tornado. However, if a tornado goes through downtown and a person lives somewhere other than a mobile home, there is only a 0.02 probability the person will die as a result of the tornado. What is the probability a person will not live in a mobile home if they do not die as a result of the tornado

Answer:

The probability a person will not live in a mobile home if they do not die as a result of the tornado is 0.9265.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person lives in a mobile home.

<em>Y</em> = a person dies as a result of tornado.

Given:

P(X)=0.10\\P(Y|X) = 0.30\\P(Y|X^{c})=0.02\\

Compute the value of P(Y^{c}|X^{c}) as follows:

P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-P(Y|X^{c})\\=1-0.02\\=0.98

Compute the probability that a person dies as a result of tornado as follows:

P(Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})\\=(0.30\times0.10)+(0.02\times(1-0.10))\\=0.03+0.018\\=0.048

Then the probability that a person does not dies as a result of tornado is:

P(Y^{c})=1-P(Y)\\=1-0.048\\=0.952

Compute the value of P(X^{c}|Y^{c}) as follows:

P(X^{c}|Y^{c})=\frac{P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})}{P(Y^{c})}=\frac{0.98\times(1-0.10)}{0.952}=0.9265

Thus, the probability a person will not live in a mobile home if they do not die as a result of the tornado is 0.9265.

Translate the following words into an algebraic expression.
olganol [36]

Answer:

You've learned how to work with variables and how to evaluate algebra expressions, now we are going to translate words into algebraic expressions.

This skill will come in handy when working with word problems or real life situations. Pay close attention to the "key words" that represent mathematical operations.

You are probably very used to translating words into numerical expressions. Think about this...

We are used to seeing the words, plus, sum, difference, minus, product ...

The good news is that these very same words that we use to write numerical expressions are going to be used to write algebra expressions.

The difference between a numerical expression and an algebra expression is that we will be using variables when writing an algebraic expression. Instead of "8 plus 9" (with two given numbers), you would see, "a number plus 9".

We don't know exactly "what number", so we would use a variable to indicate that it can be any number.

Key words for each operation are indicated in bold. This will help you to easily translate the expression.

As, you can see from the red, bold words, the key words for addition are: sum, more than, plus, increase, add, older than.

Please also remember that addition is commutative; therefore, you can reverse the digits and you will end up with the same answer.

Now, let's take a look at the key words for subtraction.
