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

Help help help<br><br> solve for x<br> 2x + 3 /12 = 2x/8
pickupchik [31]
2x + 3 /12 = 2x/8
⇒ 48x/24 + 6/24 = 6x/24
⇒ (48x+ 6)/24= 6x/24
⇒ 48x+ 6 = 6x
⇒ 48x- 6x= -6
⇒ 42x= -6
⇒ x= -6/42
⇒ x= -1/7

jen uses 8.2 of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 4/5ths of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is whit
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.

Records indicate that for parts coming out a hydraulic repair shop at an airplane rework facility, 30\% will have a shaft defect
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) = 100%

Which means that there is 100% probability that the item has at least one type of defect given that the item has only a shaft defect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability P(A|B) can be expressed as;

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) .....1

Given;

30% will have a shaft defect,

15% will have a bushing defect,

and 65% will be defect-free

Total probability = 100% = P(shaft or/and bushing defect) + P(defect free)

P(shaft or/and bushing defect) = 100% - P(defect free)

= 100% - 65% = 35%

And

P(shaft or/and bushing defect) = P(shaft def only) + P(bushing def only) + P(shaft and bushing defect)

P(shaft or/and bushing defect) = P(shaft defect) + P(bushing defect) - P(shaft and bushing defect)

Substituting the values we have;

35% = 30% + 15% - P(shaft and bushing defect)

P(shaft and bushing defect) = 45% - 35% = 10%

Let A="The item has at least one type of defect"; and B="The item has only a shaft defect".

P(A) = P(shaft or/and bushing defect) = 35%

P(B) = P(shaft only defect) = 30% - 10% = 20%

P(A∩B) = 20%

Substituting into equation 1

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) = 20%/20%

P(A|B) = 1/1 = 100%

Which means that there is 100% probability that the item has at least one type of defect given that the item has only a shaft defect.
