In a poker hand, John has a very strong hand and bets 5 dollars. The probability that Mary has a better hand is .04. If Mary had

a better hand she would raise with probability .9, but with a poorer hand she would only raise with probability .1. If Mary raises, what is the probability that she has a better hand than John does?

Answer:

When Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is 0.273

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poker game it is given that the probability that Mary has a better hand than John is 0.04.

Let the event that Mary has a better hand than John be A.

Let the event that that Mary raises the stakes be B.

It is also given that if Mary has a better hand than John then she would raise with a probability of 0.9

Therefore p(B | A) = 0.9

If Mary has a poorer hand she will raise with a probability of 0.1

Therefore p(B | A') = 0.1

Given that Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is given by

p(A | B)

 = \frac{p(A\cap B)}{p(B)} = \frac{p(A)p(B | A)}{p(A)p(B | A) + p(A')p(B | A')}  = \frac{(0.04 \times 0.9) }{(0.04 \times 0.9) + (0.96 \times 0.1)}  = \frac{36}{36 + 96}  = \frac{36}{132}  = \frac{3}{11}

= 0.273

So when Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is 0.273

Rewrite the system of linear equations as a matrix equation AX = B.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the answer.

Because we have 3 equations and 3 variables (x1, x2, x3) a 3x3 matrix (A) can be constructed by using their respectively coefficients.

Equations:

Eq. 1 : x1 + 2x2 + 5x3 = 5

Eq. 2 : x1 + x2 + x3 = 6

E1. 3 : 4x1 + 6x2 + 5x3 = 7

Coefficients for x1 ; x2 ; x3

From eq. 1 : 1 ; 2 ; 5

From eq. 2 : 1 ; 1 ; 1

From eq. 3 : 4 ; 6 ; 5

So matrix A is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]

And the vector of vriables (X) is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]

Now we can find the resulting vector (B) using the 'resulting values' from each equation:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]

In conclusion, AX=B is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&5\\1&1&1\\4&6&5\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1\\x2\\x3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\6\\7\end{array}\right]
