A commuter crosses one of three bridges, A, B, or C, to go home from work. The commuter crosses bridge A with probability 1/3, c

Answer:

0.1333 = 13.33% probability that bridge B was used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Arrives home by 6 pm

Event B: Bridge B used.

Probability of arriving home by 6 pm:

75% of 1/3(Bridge A)

60% of 1/6(Bridge B)

80% of 1/2(Bridge C)

So

$P(A) = 0.75*\frac{1}{3} + 0.6*\frac{1}{6} + 0.8*\frac{1}{2} = 0.75$

Probability of arriving home by 6 pm using Bridge B:

60% of 1/6. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.6*\frac{1}{6} = 0.1$

Find the probability that bridge B was used.

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1}{0.75} = 0.1333$

0.1333 = 13.33% probability that bridge B was used.

What’s the answer? <br> Idk what it is

Aleks [24]

Answer:

B -9/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find a number between

-3 1/3 < x < -4/5

We want a number smaller than between -3 1/3 and -.8

Looking at the choices

-9/7 = - (7/7 + 2/7) = -(1+2/7) = -1 2/7

That is between -3 1/3 and -4/5

How do subtract whole numbers with fractions

Mariana [72]

You put the whole number over 1 then multiply so both fractions have the same denominator.
Example:
2- 1/2

2/1 -1/2

4/2 - 1/2 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

I’m not sure if this helped but I hope it did
