Assume that the probability of having sickle cell anemia is 0.15 and the probability of being African-American is 0.45 in a give
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

the probability of having sickle cell anemia given that you are African-American is  P( B|A) =0.288

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Bayes's theorem

P( B|A) = P( A∩B)/P(A)

where P( B|A) = probability of the event B knowing that A happened , P( A∩B) = probability that A and B happen (joint probability of A and B) , P(A) = probability of event A

if B= probability of having sickle cell anemia and A= probability of being African-American

then

P( A∩B) = 0.13

P(A) = 0.45

then

P( B|A) = P( A∩B)/P(A)  = 0.13/0.45 = 0.288

P( B|A) =0.288

At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only $3.
Anastasy [175]

Given that sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham.

Prob for turkey or ham = 1/2

The fruit can be either apple or orange. Hence p(apple) = p(orange) =12

Drinks can be either bottled water or juice

P(water) = P(juice) = 1/2

We find that sandwiches, fruits, and drinks are mutually independent of each other.

Hence the probability you will get an orange and not get juice in your box

Prob (you get an orange and bottled water)

= Prob (orange) *Prob (bottled water) (since the two are independent

= 1/2 (1/2)= 1/4

Hence answer is 0.25
