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

I just need no. a please help me to prove this. ​
OleMash [197]

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B + C = π    and         cos A = cos B · cos C

scratchwork:

  A + B + C = π

               A = π - (B + C)

         cos A = cos [π - (B + C)]                              Apply cos

                    = - cos (B + C)                                    Simplify

                    = -(cos B · cos C - sin B · sin C)          Sum Identity

                    = sin B · sin C - cos B · cos C               Simplify

cos B · cos C = sin B · sin C - cos B · cos C               Substitution

2cos B · cos C = sin B · sin C                                        Addition

                     2=\dfrac{\sin B\cdot \sin C}{\cos B \cdot \cos C}                                     Division

                     2 = tan B · tan C

\text{Use the Sum Identity:}\quad \tan(B+C)=\dfrac{\tan B+\tan C}{1-\tan B\cdot \tan C}

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

Given:                              A + B + C = π

Subtraction:                     A = π - (B + C)

Apply tan:                  tan A = tan(π - (B + C))

Simplify:                               = - tan (B + C)

\text{Sum Identity:}\qquad \qquad \qquad =-\bigg(\dfrac{\tan B+\tan C}{1-\tan B\cdot \tan C}\bigg)

Substitution:                        = -(tan B + tan C)/(1 - 2)

Simplify:                               = -(tan B + tan C)/-1

                                            = tan B + tan C

LHS = RHS:   tan B + tan C = tan B + tan C  \checkmark

atroni [7]

Answer: \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The total number of student = 300

Out of which,

The number of students who are only in Maths  = 120

And, The number of students who are only in Science  = 50

While, the students who are not from any subject = 100

Hence, the number of student who are from both maths and science = Total student - Maths student (only) - science student (only) - None

= 300 - 120 - 50 - 100

= 30

That is, there are 30 students who are both from science and maths,

Thus, the probability of selecting one student who is both from maths and science = 30/300 = 1/10

The population of a small town in Alabama is 382 people. If the growth rate is 0.7%, what will its population be in 30 years?
goldenfox [79]
Formula for growth:

y = initial • (percent growth + 1)^time/frequency of growth

So, since initial population is 382

Percent growth is 0.007

The time is 30 years

And it goes it by .07% every 1 year,

y = 382 • (1.007)^30/1

y= 470.9203732 people

Since we can’t have 0.9 of a person, the population after 30 years will be 470 people.
