A basketball team is to play two games in a tournament. 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 game is lost, the probability of winning the second game is 25. What is the probability the first game was won if the second game is lost? Express the answer with FOUR decimal points.

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

For a recent​ year, the following are the numbers of homicides that occurred each month in New York​ City: 38,​ 30, 46,​ 40, 46,
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Each month is equally likely

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a recent​ year, the following are the numbers of homicides that occurred each month in New York​ City:

38,​ 30, 46,​ 40, 46,​ 49, 47,​ 50, 50,​ 42, 37, 37.

We have to check whether it is equally likely for each of the 12 months

Set Hypotheses as

H0: All months are equally likely

Ha: atleast two months are not equally likely

(Two tailed chisquare test at 5% significance level)

This is a test for chi square goodness of fit and so assuming H0 to be true

we divide the total equaly among 12 months as expected

              Observed Expected  Chi square

Jan                    38     42.66666667  0.510416667

Feb                    30     42.66666667  3.760416667

Mar                    46     42.66666667  0.260416667

Apr                   40    42.66666667  0.166666667

May                   46    42.66666667  0.260416667

June           49    42.66666667  0.940104167

July                   47    42.66666667  0.440104167

Aug                  50    42.66666667  1.260416667

Sep                  50    42.66666667  1.260416667

Oct                  42    42.66666667  0.010416667

Nov                  37    42.66666667  0.752604167

Dec                  37    42.66666667  0.752604167

Total        512     512                 10.375

df=11

p value = 0.497

Since p >0.05 our alpha we accept H0

Each month is equally likely

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?
lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
