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

How do you do series with an n
SOVA2 [1]
The problem can be solved step by step, if we know certain basic rules of summation.  Following rules assume summation limits are identical.
\sum{a+b}=\sum{a}+\sum{b}
\sum{kx}=k\sum{x}
\sum_{r=1}^n{1}=n
\sum_{r=1}^n{r}=n(n+1)/2

Armed with the above rules, we can split up the summation into simple terms:
\sum_{r=1}^n{40r-21n+8}=n
=40\sum_{r=1}^n{r}-21n\sum_{r=1}^n{1}+8\sum_{r=1}^n{1}
=40\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-21n^2+8n
=20n(n+1)-21n^2+8n
=28n-n^2

=> (a) f(x)=28n-n^2
=> f'(x)=28-2n 
=> at f'(x)=0 => x=14
Since f''(x)=-2 <0  therefore f(14) is a maximum
(b) f(x) is a maximum when n=14

(c) the maximum value of f(x) is f(14)=196
