Dill and Bromberg, Problem 1.23. The San Francisco football team plays better in fair weather. They have a 70% chance of winning

in good weather but only a 20% chance of winning in bad weather. (a) If they play in the Super Bowl in Wisconsin and the weatherman predicts a 60% chance of snow that day, what is the probability that San Francisco will win. (b) Given that San Francisco lost, what is the probability that the weather was bad?

Answer:

a) 40% probability that San Francisco will win.

b) 80% probability that the weather was bad

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

60% chance of snow(bad weather).

If there is bad weather, 20% probability of SF winning.

100-60 = 40% chance of good weather.

If there is good weather, 70% probability of SF winning.

(a) If they play in the Super Bowl in Wisconsin and the weatherman predicts a 60% chance of snow that day, what is the probability that San Francisco will win.

20% of 60%, plus 70% of 40%. So

0.2*0.6 + 0.7*0.4 = 0.4

40% probability that San Francisco will win.

(b) Given that San Francisco lost, what is the probability that the weather was bad?

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question.

Conditional probability:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: SF losing

Event B: Bad weather

P(A)

From a), 40% probability that SF wins. So 100-40 = 60% = 0.6 probability that SF losses.

So P(A) = 0.6

P(A and B)

60% chance of snow. If it snows, 80% probability of SF losing. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

P(B|A) = \frac{0.48}{0.60} = 0.8

80% probability that the weather was bad

You don't need to construct a Venn Diagram, it is just part of the instruction. Just determine whether or not the argument is va
icang [17]

Answer:

It is valid.

Venn Diagram is attached.

I also provided a truth table.

I also provided a couple of names this argument could be called.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this question.

Thank you kindly.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person is a poet, then that person is a loner.

If a person is a loner, then that person is a taxi driver.

If a person is a poet, then that person is a taxi drive.

This is in the form:

p->q

q->r

Therefore, p->r.

This is an example of a hypothetical syllogism.

The first thing my mind goes to when seeing this is the transitive property which says if A is related to B and B is related to C then A is related to C.

So this syllogism also has another name and it is called the principle of transitivity of implication.

Let p=person is a poet, q=person is a loner, and r=person is a taxi driver.

I'm going to make a truth table and compare the truth values of the propositions to the conclusion.

Since we have 3 variables, we are going to need 2^3=8 rows.

p     q       r        p->q    q->r      (p->q) and (q->r)        conclusion=(p->r)

T      T     T           T         T                     T                               T

T      T     F           T         F                    F                                 F

T      F     T           F         T                     F                               T  

T      F     F           F         T                     F                                F

F      F     F           T         T                    T                                 T

F      F     T           T         T                    T                                 T

F     T     F            T         F                    F                                 T

F    T     T             T         T                    T                                 T

So we are trying to see if we ever have the preposition part true and the conclusion false.

That doesn't happen so the argument is valid.
