Answer:
- <em>The probability that the second favorite character will die given that the first favorite character dies is</em><u> 0.53</u>
- <u>This kind of probability is called conditional probability</u>
Explanation:
Name the events and their probabiities:
- Event A: her favorite character will survive, so P (A) = 0.70
- Event B: her her second favorite character will die, so P(B) = 0.75
- Both characters will die ⇒ P (B and not A) = 0.16
You want to find P (B | not A).
That is the probability of the succes B (the second favorite character will die) given other event (not A or the first favorite character dies) is certain (it happens) and that is called conditional probability.
- P (not A) is the complement probability of A, so P (not A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
So, you have P(B), P(not A) and want to find P (B | not A)
The definition of conditional probability is:
- P (X | Y) = P (X and Y) / P (Y)
So, replacing with our terms, we get:
- P ( B | not A) = P (B and not A) / P (not A) = 0.16 / 0.3 ≈ 0.53

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Each package has 12 pencils
total number of pencils Sarah purchased: n = 12p
n = total number of pencils
p = number of packages
n depends on p, because the total number of pencils dependos on how many packages she will buy, so:
independent variable: p
dependent variable: n
╔═══╦══════════╦════╗
║ p ║ n = 12p ║ n ║
