Answer:

The probability is: 0.8889.

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: Approved

Event B: Qualified

Probability of a person being approved:

80% of 75%(qualified)

30% of 25%(not qualified). So

P(A) = 0.8*0.75 + 0.3*0.25 = 0.675

Probability of a person being approved and being qualified:

80% of 75%, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.8*0.75

Find the probability that a person is qualified if he or she was approved by the manager.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.8*0.75}{0.675} = 0.8889

The probability is: 0.8889.

Karen is making a set of costumes for the school play using a piece of cloth. She reduces the length of the cloth she intends to
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The new length is 13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use

What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters

Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is

Mathematically, that would be ;

10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters

We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters

= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters
