A store sells bread and milk. On Tuesday, 3 loaves of bread and 2 litres of milk were sold for €6.25. On Thursday
chubhunter [2.5K]

Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.

Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk

Total sales = €10.90

Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90

  • Step 2: Find the values of b and m.

3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)

4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.

15b + 10m = 31.25

8b + 10m = 21.8

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

⇒ 7b = 9.45

⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35

Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).

⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 2m = 2.2

∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1

A demographer wants to measure life expectancy in countries 1 and 2. Let μ1 and μ2 denote the mean life expectancy in countries
Art [367]

Answer:

For this case we want to test if life expectancy in country 1 is more than 10 years lower than in country 2, (alternatibe hypothesis), so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 \leq \mu_2 -10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 > \mu_2 -10

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 - \mu_2 >10

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test if life expectancy in country 1 is more than 10 years lower than in country 2, (alternatibe hypothesis), so then the system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 \leq \mu_2 -10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 > \mu_2 -10

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 10

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 - \mu_2 >10

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(
Umnica [9.8K]

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}.
