Answer:

Given that a person was identified as a future terrorist, there is a 2.8544% probability that he/she actually is a future terrorist.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1000 future terrorists in a population of 300,000,000. So the probability that a randomly selected person in this population is a terrorist is:

$P = \frac{1,000}{300,000,000} = 0.000003 = 0.0003%$

So, we have these following probabilities:

A 99.9997% probability that a randomly chosen person is not a terrorist.

A 0.0003% probability that a randomly chosen person is a terrorist.

A 98% probability that a future terrorist is correctly identified

A 99.9% chance of correctly identifying someone who is not a future terrorist. This also means that there is a 0.01% probability of someone who is not a terrorist being identified as one.

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Here we have:

What is the probability that the person is a terrorist, given that she was identified as a terrorist.

P(B) is the probability that the person is a terrorist. So $P(B) = 0.000003$

P(A/B) is the probability that the person was identified as a terrorist, given that she is a terrorist. The problem states that the system has a 98% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist, so $P(A/B) = 0.98$

P(A) is the probability of a person being a identified as a terrorist. So

$P(A) = P_{1} + P_{2}$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that a person is a terrorist and was identified as one. So:

$P_{1} = 0.000003*0.98 = 0.00000294$

$P_{1}$ is the probability that a person is not a terrorist and, but was identified as one. So:

$P_{2} = 0.999997*0.0001 = 0.0000999997$

So

$P(A) = P_{1} + P_{2} = 0.00000294 + 0.0000999997 = 0.000103$

The answer is:

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.000003*0.98}{0.000103} = 0.028544$

Given that a person was identified as a future terrorist, there is a 2.8544% probability that he/she actually is a future terrorist.

OBSERVATION A person standing 100 feet from the bottom of a cliff notices a tower on top of the cliff. The angle of elevation to

vekshin1

Answer:

The tower is 102.26 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the triangle for your reference.

According to the figure point 'A' is the persons eye.

Point 'B' is the bottom of the cliff.

Point 'C' is the top of the cliff.

And Point 'D' is the top of the tower.

Given,

A person standing 100 feet from the bottom of a cliff notices a tower on top of the cliff.

So from diagram we can say that;

Length of AB = 100 ft

The angle of elevation to the top of the cliff is 30°.

So from diagram we can say that;

∠CAB = 30°

the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 58°.

So from diagram we can say that;

∠DAB = 58°

We have to find the height of the tower i.e. CD.

Solution,

In ΔCAB,

∠CAB = 30°

AB = 100 ft

Now according to trigonometric ratios;

$tan\theta=\frac{opposite\ side}{adjacent\ side}$

Substituting the values we get;

$tan\ 30\° = \frac{BC}{100}$

Now

$tan\ 30\° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

So

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{BC}{100}\\\\BC =\frac{100}{\sqrt{3}} = 57.74 \ ft$

In ΔDAB,

∠DAB = 58°

AB = 100 ft

Now according to trigonometric ratios;

$tan\theta=\frac{opposite\ side}{adjacent\ side}$

Substituting the values we get;

$tan\ 58\° = \frac{BD}{100}$

Now

$tan\ 58\° = 1.60$

So

$1.60 = \frac{BD}{100}\\\\BD =100\times 1.6 = 160 \ ft$

Now BD = BC + CD

CD = BD - BC = 160 - 57.74 = 102.26 ft

Hence The tower is 102.26 feet tall.

Select Not independent or Independent for each situation. (3)

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A spinner is divided into three equally sized sections. The spinner is spun three times.

independent, since the outcome is not affected by previous spins.

A number cube is rolled twice.

independent, since the outcome is not affected by previous rollings.

A bag contains 8 white balls and 3 yellow balls. Two balls are selected from the bag without replacement.

not independent, since the new outcome depends on the balls that were drawn before.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcome of an independent variable is not affected by previous outcomes or actions, while the outcome of dependent variables is affected by previous outcomes or actions.
