Answer:
- not possible: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11
- possible: all others
Step-by-step explanation:
Obviously, all multiples of 3 and 7 can be paid.
1 cent can be added by adding a 7-cent stamp and taking away two 3-cent stamps. 2 cents can be added by adding three 3-cent stamps and taking away one 7-cent stamp. Hence any value more than 7 +2(3) = 13 cents can always be accommodated.
Amounts that are impossible:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 11 cents
All other positive integer amounts are possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the lenght and y the height. The perimeter will be:
p = 2x + 2y = 10
When the lenght is halved and the height double we'll have:
p = x + 4y = 14
These 2 equations form a system of equations2 that can be solved and give as result:
y = 3
x = 2
Answer:Given:
P(A)=1/400
P(B|A)=9/10
P(B|~A)=1/10
By the law of complements,
P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400
By the law of total probability,
P(B)=P(B|A)*P(A)+P(B|A)*P(~A)
=(9/10)*(1/400)+(1/10)*(399/400)
=51/500
Note: get used to working in fraction when doing probability.
(a) Find P(A|B):
By Baye's Theorem,
P(A|B)
=P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)
=(9/10)*(1/400)/(51/500)
=3/136
(b) Find P(~A|~B)
We know that
P(~A)=1-P(A)=399/400
P(~B)=1-P(B)=133/136
P(A∩B)
=P(B|A)*P(A) [def. of cond. prob.]
=9/10*(1/400)
=9/4000
P(A∪B)
=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
=1/400+51/500-9/4000
=409/4000
P(~A|~B)
=P(~A∩~B)/P(~B)
=P(~A∪B)/P(~B)
=(1-P(A∪B)/(1-P(B)) [ law of complements ]
=(3591/4000) ÷ (449/500)
=3591/3592
The results can be easily verified using a contingency table for a random sample of 4000 persons (assuming outcomes correspond exactly to probability):
===....B...~B...TOT
..A . 9 . . 1 . . 10
.~A .399 .3591 . 3990
Tot .408 .3592 . 4000
So P(A|B)=9/408=3/136
P(~A|~B)=3591/3592
As before.
