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}.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole? HELP PLS!!!
Otrada [13]

Answer: The answer is 39 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By saying square feet it's indicated that you mean the area of this irregular figure.

To do this you can break apart the shape into two pieces.

The first 11 x 3 rectangle then the 2 x 3 rectangle.

Next, you can find the area to be 33 square feet and 6 square feet. respectively, afterward, you add the areas together to find the area of the figure, which is 39 square feet.

1 + 5sin^2x= 7sin^2x solve trig equation. Can you show me how to solve this trig equation?
pantera1 [17]

Answer: x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

Step by step:

1 + 5\sin^2x= 7\sin^2x\\\sin^2 x\rightarrow z\\1 + 5z = 7z\\2z = 1\\z = \frac{1}{2}\implies \sin^2 x = \frac{1}{2}\\|\sin x| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\sin x = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a study to determine the time needed to complete the short form. The Bureau surveys 200 people.
OLga [1]

Answer:

The z-distribution should be used for this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population distribution is assumed to be normal. Which distribution to use?

If we have the standard deviation for the sample, we use the t-distribution.

If we use the standard deviation for the population, we use the z-distribution.

There is a known standard deviation of 2.2 minutes.

This means that 2.2 is the population standard deviation, and thus, the z-distribution should be used for this problem.
