Answer:

Mr.Samson is 58 years old. Mr.Rogers is 35.

Step-by-step explanation

Samson's age Roger's age

2x - 12 x ( 12 years less than twice Mr.Rogers(x))

Equation: 2x - 12 + x = 93 Sum of ages is 93

3x - 12 = 93 Simplified

x = 35 Solve

Rogers = x, so Rogersis 35

But Sampson is 2x - 12 ( 2 * 35 - 12 ), so Sampson is 58

Answer:

1. $P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

2. $P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

3. $P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$P(s_1)=0.1, P(s_2)=0.6, P(s_3)=0.3$

$P(I|s_1)=0.15,P(I|s_2)=0.2,P(I|s_3)=0.1$

(1)

We need to find the value of P(s₁|I).

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{(0.15)(0.1)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.165}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₁|I) is $\frac{1}{11}$ .

(2)

We need to find the value of P(s₂|I).

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{P(I|s_2)P(s_2)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{(0.2)(0.6)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.165}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₂|I) is $\frac{8}{11}$ .

(3)

We need to find the value of P(s₃|I).

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{(0.1)(0.3)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.165}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₃|I) is $\frac{2}{11}$ .

The equation a = 640s gives the relationship between s square miles and a acres. Pam owns 7.5 square miles of farmland. How many

stich3 [128]

Quantity of farmland owned by Pam = 7.5 square miles.
The other important information given in the question is the equation relating square miles and acres. Using that information, the answer to the question can be easily reached.
a = 640s
= 640 * 7.5 acres
= 4800 acres.
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".
