Answer:

P(\frac{A}{B'})=0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The probability of winning the first game is 10.1

The first game is won

The probability of winning the second game is 15

If the first is lost, the probability of winning the second game is 25

Solution:

P(B)=P(A)P(\frac{B}{A})+P(A')P(\frac{B}{A'})\\      =0.1(0.15)+(0.3)*0.25)\\P(B)=0.24 ------(1)\\P(\frac{A}{B})=\frac{P(\frac{B}{A})P(A) }{P(B)}\\                     =\frac{0.15(0.1)}{0.24}\\                     =0.0625 ------(2)\\P(B')=1-P(B)=0.76 ------(3)\\P(A)=P(B)P(\frac{A}{B})+P(B')P(\frac{A}{B'})\\0.1=0.24(0.0625)+0.76(p(\frac{A}{B'} ))\\P(\frac{A}{B'})=0.111

Answer:

P(W_1/W_2')=0.1110

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of winning the first game be considering the given factors be, W_1=0.1

Probability of winning the second game be considering the given factors be, W_2= probability of winning the second game when the first game is won + probability of winning the second game when the first game is lost:

P(W_2)=P(W_1).P(W_2/W_1)+P(W_1').P(W_2/W_1')

P(W_2)=0.1\times 0.15+0.9\times 0.25

P(W_2)=0.24

<u>Hence the probability of losing the second game:</u>

P(W_2')=1-P(W_2)

P(W_2')=0.76

<u>Probability of winning the first game when the second game is won:</u>

P(W_1/W_2)=\frac{P(W_2/W_1).P(W_1)}{P(W_2)}

P(W_1/W_2)=\frac{0.15\times 0.1}{0.24}

P(W_1/W_2)=0.0625

Probability of winning the first game be considering the given factors, W_1= probability of winning the first game when the second game is won + probability of winning the first game when the second game is lost:

P(W_1)=P(W_2).P(W_1/W_2)+P(W_2').P(W_1/W_2')

0.1=0.24\times0.0625+0.76\times P(W_1/W_2')

P(W_1/W_2')=0.1110

How do you find the missing angle of a triangle when all other angles are there?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So, if you are missing an angle, add up the degrees of the angles present and subtract that from 180. That will be the value of the missing angle in degrees.

write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,4) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=x.
lys-0071 [83]
Y = x....same as y = 1x + 0......slope here is 1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
(2,4)....x = 2 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = 1(2) + b
4 = 2 + b
4 - 2 = b
2 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = x + 2
