Answer:

a) 0.3462 = 34.62% that a randomly selected employee is a woman given that the person brings their lunch to work.

b) 0.09 = 9% probability that a randomly selected employee brings their lunch to work given that person is a woman.

c) 0.3462 = 34.62% that a randomly selected employee is a woman given that the person brings their lunch to work.

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.

Questions a/c:

Questions a and c are the same, so:

Event A: Brings lunch to work.

Event B: Is a woman.

Probability of a person bringing lunch to work:

9% of 15%(woman)

3% of 100 - 15 = 85%(man). So

P(A) = 0.09*0.15 + 0.03*0.85 = 0.039

Probability of a person bringing lunch to work and being a woman:

9% of 15%, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.09*0.15

Desired probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.09*0.15}{0.039} = 0.3462

0.3462 = 34.62% that a randomly selected employee is a woman given that the person brings their lunch to work.

Question b:

Event A: Woman

Event B: Brings lunch

15% of the employees are women.

This means that P(A) = 0.15

Probability of a person bringing lunch to work and being a woman:

9% of 15%, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.09*0.15

Desired probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.09*0.15}{0.15} = 0.09

0.09 = 9% probability that a randomly selected employee brings their lunch to work given that person is a woman.

Solve the equation : 8+10^x=1008
Marizza181 [45]
Hi there.

I'm just going to put the answer for now. I might come back and edit my answer if I figure out how to solve this the long way.

All I did was figure out what exponent you raise 10 to. 

10³ = 1000

So, we now have 8 + 10³ = 1008

Edit:

I did it on paper - here it is broken down.

8 + 10^{x} = 1008

Subtract 8 from both sides.

10^{x} = 1000

We know that 10³ = 1000

<em>x</em> = 3
