Answer:
The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.
Step-by-step explanation:
In terms of bayesian probability, we have to calculate P(B|Wr), or, given the witness saw the right colour, the taxi is from the Blue Cab company.
According to Bayes
P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr)
P(Wr|B) = 0,8
P(B) = 0.15
To calculate P(Wr), or the probability of the witness of guessing right, we have to consider the two possibilities:
1) The taxi is from Blue Cab (B) and the witness is right (Wr).
2) The taxi is from Green Cab (G) and the witness is wrong (Ww).
The total probality of guessing right is
P(B)*P(Wr) + P(G)*P(Ww) = 0.15*0.8 + 0.85*0.2 = 0.29
So we can calculate:
P(B|Wr) = P(Wr|B)*P(B)/P(Wr) = 0.8*0.15/0.29 = 0.41
The probability the man was hit by a Blue Cab taxi is 41%.
Answer:
with those u can't lol but it's 6 11 and 13
Let's say the point is C, and divides AB on a 4:7 ratio, from A to B, meaning the AC segment takes 4 units of the lot and the CB segment takes 7.
In this question it is already given that a person travels 8 miles in 0.5 hours. This is enough information to get to the required answer. Let us first write down all the information's that are already given in the question.
In 0.5 hours the person covers a distance = 8 miles
Then
In 1 hour the person covers a distance of = 8/0.5 miles
= 16 miles
So the speed of the person in miles per hour = 16/1 miles/hour
= 16 miles per hour
