6 0

Answer:

Father=41

Son=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Father=f

Son=s

f+s=60

Eight years ago would mean that 16 is subtracted from 60 since there is both of them

3s+s=4s

4s=44

s=11

11+8=19

33+8=41

In answering on a multiple choice test, a student either know the answer or guesses. Let p be the probability that the students

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$P(A_{1}|B ) =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For mutually exclusive events as A1, A2, A3, etc, Bayes' theorem states:

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

P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event A occurring given that B is true.

P(B|A) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event B occurring given that A is true.

P(A) is the probability that A occurs

P(B) is the probability that B occurs

For this problem:

A1 is the probability that the student knows the answer

A2 is the probability that the student guesses the answer

B is the probability that the student answer correctly

$P(A_{1})=p \\P(A_{2})=1-p \\P(B|A_{1})=1 \\P(B|A_{2})=\frac{1}{m} \\P(B)= P(A_{1})P(B|A_{1}) + P(A_{2})P(B|A_{2})= p+\frac{1-p}{m} \\$

P(B|A₁) means the probability that the answer is correct when he knew the answer

P(B|A₂) means the probability that the answer is correct when he guessed the answer

P(A₁|B) means the probability that he knew the answer when the answer was correct

Replacing everything in the Bayes' theorem you get:

$P(A_{1}|B)= \frac{P(B|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(B)}=\frac{(1)(p)}{p+\frac{1-p}{m}} =\frac{mp}{mp+1-p} =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Please i need help quick its in picture

eduard

Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of single bedroom apartments is 90;

The number of single occupants in that 90 is 64;

64/90 or 32/45 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a 1 bedroom apartment.

The number of multiple bedroom apartments is 110;

The number of single occupants in that 110 is 12;

12/110 or 6/55 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a multiple-bedroom apartment.

The rate of single occupants in any type of apartment is 76/200 or 19/50

32/45>19/50>6/55; since the rate of single occupants in 1 bedroom apartments is higher than the rate of single occupants living in any type of apartment and a multiple-room apartment, the event that an apartment has 1 bedroom and 1 occupant is not indepenent.
