The prior probabilities for events A1 and A2 are P(A1) = 0.20 and P(A2) = 0.80. It is also known that P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0. Suppose P(

B | A1) = 0.25 and P(B | A2) = 0.05. (a) Are A1 and A2 mutually exclusive? They mutually exclusive. How could you tell whether or not they are mutually exclusive? P(B | A1) ≠ P(B | A2) P(A1) + P(A2) = 1 P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0 P(A1) ≠ P(A1 | A2) P(A2) ≠ P(A2 | A1) (b) Compute P(A1 ∩ B) and P(A2 ∩ B). P(A1 ∩ B) = P(A2 ∩ B) = (c) Compute P(B). (d) Apply Bayes' theorem to compute P(A1 | B) and P(A2 | B). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(A1 | B) = P(A2 | B) =

Answer:

(a) A_1 and A_2 are indeed mutually-exclusive.

(b) \displaystyle P(A_1\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{20}, whereas \displaystyle P(A_2\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{25}.

(c) \displaystyle P(B) = \frac{9}{100}.

(d) \displaystyle P(A_1 \; |\; B) \approx \frac{5}{9}, whereas P(A_1 \; |\; B) = \displaystyle \frac{4}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0 means that it is impossible for events A_1 and A_2 to happen at the same time. Therefore, event A_1 and A_2 are mutually-exclusive.

<h3>(b)</h3>

By the definition of conditional probability:

\displaystyle P(B \; | \; A_1) = \frac{P(B \; \cap \; A_1)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A_1 \; \cap \; B)}{P(B)}.

Rearrange to obtain:

\displaystyle P(A_1 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_1) \cdot  P(A_1) = 0.25 \times 0.20 = \frac{1}{20}.

Similarly:

\displaystyle P(A_2 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_2) \cdot  P(A_2) = 0.80 \times 0.05 = \frac{1}{25}.

<h3>(c)</h3>

Note that:

\begin{aligned}P(A_1 \; \cup \; A_2) &= P(A_1) + P(A_2) - P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0.20 + 0.80 = 1\end{aligned}.

In other words, A_1 and A_2 are collectively-exhaustive. Since A_1 and A_2 are collectively-exhaustive and mutually-exclusive at the same time:

\displaystyle P(B) = P(B \; \cap \; A_1) + P(B \; \cap \; A_2) = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{9}{100}.

<h3>(d)</h3>

By Bayes' Theorem:

\begin{aligned} P(A_1 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_1) \cdot P(A_1)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.25 \times 0.20}{9/100} = \frac{0.05 \times 100}{9} = \frac{5}{9}\end{aligned}.

Similarly:

\begin{aligned} P(A_2 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_2) \cdot P(A_2)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.05 \times 0.80}{9/100} = \frac{0.04 \times 100}{9} = \frac{4}{9}\end{aligned}.

1.Use Euler’s Formula to find the missing number. Edges: 40
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Euler's Formula states that:

V -E +F = 2   meaning that the vertices minus the edges plus the faces of a convex polyhedron will always equal two.

So, for the initial question, we have 40 edges and 24 faces.

So, vertices = 2 + Edges -Faces

Vertices = 2 + 40 - 24

Vertices = 18
