Answer:
Report the length as x inches to the nearest quarter of an inch.
See the example below
Step-by-step explanation:
Report the length as x inches to the nearest quarter of an inch.
E.g : If the actual length is 2.4 inches then the reported length would be 2.5 in
Similarly if the actual length is 2.3 inches then the reported length would be 2.25 in
Let's called this number x and sum it with 35
x+35
We know this sum is equal to 100, let's equal it.
x+35=100
We're told that



a. We want to find
. By definition of conditional probability,

By the law of total probability,

Then

(the first equality is Bayes' theorem)
b. We want to find
.

since
.
