Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money discounted

= 40%

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:

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

Plz help me with this math and also explain

jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>[1]</h2>

SI = $250
Rate (R) = 12 $\sf \dfrac{1}{2}$ %
Time (t) = 4 years

$\longrightarrow \tt { SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 12\cfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times \cfrac{25}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 25 \times 2}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 50}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 \times 100 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 25000 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { \dfrac{25000}{50} = P } \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green{ \tt { \$ \; 500 = P }}}} \\$

Therefore principal is $500.

2/7 of the balls are red.
3/5 of the balls are blue.
Rest are yellow.
Number of yellow balls = 36

Let the total number of balls be x.

→ Red balls + Blue balls + Yellow balls = Total number of balls

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{2}{7}x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 36 = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{10x + 21x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{31x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 31x + 1260= 35x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 35x-31x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 4x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{1260 }{4}= x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \tt { 315 = x }}} \\$

Total number of balls is 315.

A/Q,

3/5 of the balls are blue.

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}(315)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} = 3(63)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green {\tt { Balls_{(Blue)} = 189 }}}} \\$
