Two methods, A and B, are available for teaching Spanish. There is a 70% chance of successfully learning Spanish if method A is

used, and a 85% chance of success if method B is used. However, method B is substantially more time consuming and is therefore used only 20% of the time (method A is used the other 80% of the time). The following notations are suggested:
A—Method A is used.
B—Method B is used.
L—Spanish was learned successfully. A person learned Spanish successfully.

What is the probability that he was taught by method A?

Answer:

0.7671 = 76.71% probability that he was taught by method A

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.

In this question:

Event A: Person learned Spanish successfully.

Event B: Method A was used.

Probability of a person learning Spanish successfully:

70% of 80%(using method A)

85% of 20%(using method B)

So

P(A) = 0.7*0.8 + 0.85*0.2 = 0.73

Probability of a person learning Spanish successfully and using method A:

70% of 80%, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.7*0.8 = 0.56

What is the probability that he was taught by method A?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.56}{0.73} = 0.7671

0.7671 = 76.71% probability that he was taught by method A

Find radius from this sentence plz
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of sphere

A = 4πr²

17.6 = 4(3.14)r²

17.6 = 12.56r²

Divide both sides by 12.56

1.4012738854 = r²

Take the sqaure root of both sides

1.1837541491 = r

Rounded

r = 1.2
