P(A) = 7/12
P(B) = 1/4
====================================================
Explanation:
Instead of having one die, let's say we have two dice. I'll make one red and the other blue.
I'll be using the dice chart shown below. The red and blue values add up to the black numbers inside the table. For instance, we have 1+1 = 2 in the upper left corner. There are 6*6 = 36 sums total.
Using that table, we can see the following:
- There are 6 copies of "7"
- There are 5 copies of "8"
- There are 4 copies of "9"
- There are 3 copies of "10"
- There are 2 copies of "11"
- There is 1 copy of "12"
In total, we have 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21 instances where the two dice add to something larger than 6.
This is out of 36 ways to roll two dice.
Therefore P(A) = 21/36 = (3*7)/(3*12) = 7/12
-----------------------------------
If a number is divisible by 4, then it is a multiple of 4.
The multiples of 4 found in the table are: 4, 8, 12
We have
- 3 copies of "4"
- 5 copies of "8"
- 1 copy of "12"
This gives 1+5+3 = 9 values that are a multiple of 4
P(B) = 9/36 = (1*9)/(4*9) = 1/4
Answer:
a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.
b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
Step-by-step explanation:
This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.
I say that we have two sets:
-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.
-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.
The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that
The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.
Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.
a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?
This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:
P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%
b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies
- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P
- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things: PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42
- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12
So
`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1
P = 1-0.54
P = 0.46
There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
