A driver has three ways to get from one city to another. There is an 80 % chance of encountering atraffic jam given he is on rou

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The probability is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

What we want to calculate here is conditional probability.

Let P(A )= Probability of using route A = 50% = 0.5

Let P( B )= probability of using route B = 25% = 0.25

Let P (C )= probability of using route C = 25% = 0.25

Let T be the probability that he will be in a traffic Jam

The probability that he will be in a traffic Jam if he uses route A = 80%

Mathematically this is written as P( T | A) which is read as probability of T given A

so P( T | A) = 0.8

Same way for B and C which can be written as follows;

P( T | B) = 60% = 0.6

P( T | C) = 30% = 0.3

Now, what do we want to calculate?

He is in a traffic Jam, and we want to find the probability that he used route A. This means we want to find P(A) given T which can be written mathematically as P ( A | T)

We can find this using the other parameters and especially the equation below;

P ( A | T) = P(A) • P( T| A) / {P(A) • P ( T | A) + P(B)• P(T| B) + P(C) • P(T|C)

P( A | T) = (0.5 * 0.8)/ ( 0.5)(0.8) + (0.25)(0.6) + (0.25)(3) = 0.4/(0.4 + 0.75 + 0.075) = 0.4/0.625 = 0.64

Answer: 216 in ^3

Explanation:

18 x 3 x 12 = 648

648 / 3 = 216 in ^3

A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 88% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detect

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = a person has the disease

<em>X</em> = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

$P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99$

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

$P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12$

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

$P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative as follows:

$P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})$

$=0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452$

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.
