A certain company sends 40% of its overnight mail parcels by means of express mail service A1. Of these parcels, 4% arrive after

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(c) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ is 0.192.

(d) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the tree diagram below.

(a)

The law of total probability sates that: $P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B')P(B')$

Use the law of total probability to determine the probability of a parcel being late.

$P(L)=P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})+P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})+P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})\\=(0.04\times0.40)+(0.01\times0.50)+(0.05\times0.10)\\=0.026$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b)

The conditional probability of an event A provided that another event B has already occurred is:

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

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ as follows:

$P(A_{1}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.04\times 0.40}{0.026} \\=0.615$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(c)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{2}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.01\times 0.50}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ is 0.192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{3}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.05\times 0.10}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.

What is the answer to 336 is 48% of what number?

Doss [256]

Is means =
'of' means multiply
percent means parts out of 100 so 48%=48/100=4.8/10=0.48/1=0.48
so it is
336=0.48 times something
divide both sides by 0.48
700=something
the numbe ris 700
