Bill and George go target shooting together. Both shoot at atarget at the same time. Suppose Bill hits the target withprobabilit

y 0.7, whereas George independently, hits the target withprobability 0.4.(a) Given that exactly one shot hit the target, what is theprobability that it was George's shot?(b) Given that the target is hit, what is the probability thatGeorge hit it?

Answer: (a) \frac{2}{9}       (b) \frac{6}{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) P( Bill hitting the target) = 0.7        P( Bill not hitting the target) = 0.3

    P( George hitting the target) = 0.4     P(George not hitting the target) = 0.6

Now the chances that exactly one shot hit the target is = 0.7 x 0.6 + 0.4 x 0.3

                                                                                            = 0.54

Chances that George hit the target is = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12

So given that exactly one shot hit the target, probability that it was George's shot = \frac{0.12}{0.54} = \frac{2}{9} .

(b) The numerator in the second part would be the same as of (a) part which is 0.12.

The change in the denominator will be that now we know that the target is hit so now in denominator we include the chance of both hitting the target at same time that is 0.4 x 0.7 and the rest of the equation is same as above i.e.

Given that the target is hit,probability that George hit it =                                                 \frac{0.4\times 0.3}{0.7\times 0.6 +0.4\times 0.3+0.4\times 0.7}  = = \frac{6}{41}

Carissa also has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 3000
defon

Answer:

a) 80
b) 56

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Calculate the volume of the the cup using volume of cylinder equation: V = \pi r^{2} h

Where V = Volume, r=radius, and h=height. Your answer should be in cubic inches (in^3).
You're given diameter, so use equation d/2  = r to find radius.
Substituting these equations will give you: V = \pi (d/2)^2 h
However, the given volume of the sink is 3000\pi, meaning that you should modify your results to match this value. Do not substitute \pi for 3.14..., leave it as a symbolic value. Your final V of the cup should = 37.5 \pi
Divide the volume of the sink by the volume of the cup. This number will be the amount of cups needed to empty it. In equation form:
Vsink / V cup = # of cups.
Note the the \pi will cancel each other out, so there's not need to factor that in.
b) Repeat the steps above with the new d (diameter) value.

Faith is tracking the number of burpees she does at a constant rate. Last
bija089 [108]
This is a unit rate question. We can solve this in chronological order of steps:

Step 1: Write out the beginning for the first unit rate.

Faith completed 60 burpees in 5 minutes last week.

Step 2: Since 60 burpees were completed in 5 minutes, we can divide 60 by 5 to find how many burpees were completed in 1 minute.

60 divided by 5 equals 12.
5 divided by 5 equals 1.

Our fraction for how many burpees Faith did in a minute last week is 12/1. This reduces to 12, meaning that Faith did 12 burpees last week.

Step 3: Find the unit rate for this week.

Faith completed 78 burpees in 6 minutes this week. Because of this, we can divide 78 by 6 to find how many burpees Faith completed this week.

78 divided by 6 equals 13.
6 divided by 6 equals 1.

Our final fraction for how many completed burpees Faith did this week is 13/1, which reduces to 13. Therefore, Faith completed 13 burpees per minute this week.

Your final answer: In terms of separate values, Faith completed 12 burpees per minute last week and 13 burpees per minute this week. If you need help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
