a student takes two subjects A and B. Know that the probability of passing subjects A and B is 0.8 and 0.7 respectively. If you

have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8. Find the probability that the student passes both subjects? Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

Answer:

0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.

0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

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: Passing subject A

Event B: Passing subject B

The probability of passing subject A is 0.8.

This means that P(A) = 0.8

If you have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8.

This means that P(B|A) = 0.8

Find the probability that the student passes both subjects?

This is P(A \cap B). So

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

P(A \cap B) = P(B|A)P(A) = 0.8*0.8 = 0.64

0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.

Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

This is:

p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

Considering P(B) = 0.7, we have that:

p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.64 = 0.86

0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects

A new test has been developed to detect a particular type of cancer. The test must be evaluated before it is put into use. A med
Troyanec [42]
The tree diagram of the problem above is attached
There are four outcomes of the two events,

First test - Cancer, Second Test - Cancer, the probability is 0.0396
First test - Cancer, Second Test - No Cancer, the probability is 0.0004
First test -  No Cancer, Second Test - There is cancer, the probability is 0.0096
First test - No cancer, Second Test - No cancer, the probability is 0.9054

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates cancer is  \frac{0.0396}{0.0396+0.0096}= \frac{33}{41}

The probability of someone picked at random has cancer given that test result indicates no cancer is \frac{0.0396}{0.0004+0.9504} = \frac{99}{2377}

I believe the answer is $48 because 6 * 2 is 12 and 12 * 2 is 24 and 24 * 2 is 48, thus 48$. Please feel free to check my work, though.
