Answer:

  (a)  306 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sugar to the total is ...

  sugar : (sugar + butter) = (2 1/4) : (2 1/4 + 3/8)

  = (18/8) : (18/8 +3/8) = 18 : 21 = 6 : 7

Then the amount of sugar in the baker's initial is ...

  (6/7) × 357 = 306 . . . . pounds

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you realize that 2 1/4 is much more than 3/8, then you realize most of the mix is sugar. Of the answer choices, the only one that is most of 357 pounds is the first one: 306 pounds. That is the correct choice. In other words, your sense of the quantities involved is sufficient to answer the question, without any math.

400 Suppose a particular surveillance system has a 99% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist and a 99.8% chance of
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

1.236 × 10^(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the person is a future terrorist

Let B the event that the person is identified as a terrorist

We are told that there are 1,000 future terrorists in a population of 400 million. Thus, the Probability that the person is a terrorist is;

P(A) = 1000/400000000

P(A) = 0.0000025

P(A') = 1 - P(A)

P(A') = 1 - 0.0000025

P(A') = 0.9999975

We are told that the system has a 99% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist. Thus; P(B|A) = 0.99

Thus, P(B'|A) = 1 - P(B|A)

P(B'|A) = 1 - 0.99

P(B'|A) = 0.01

We are told that there is a 99.8% chance of correctly identifying someone who is not a future terrorist. Thus; P(B'|A') = 0.998

Hence: P(B|A') = 1 - P(B'|A')

P(B|A') = 1 - 0.998

P(B|A') = 0.002

We want to find the probability that someone who is identified as a terrorist, is actually a future terrorist. This is represented by: P(A|B)

We can find it from bayes theorem as follows;

P(A|B) = [P(B|A) × P(A)]/[(P(B|A) × P(A)) + (P(B|A') × P(A')]

Plugging in the relevant values;

P(A|B) = [0.99 × 0.0000025]/[(0.99 × 0.0000025) + (0.002 × 0.9999975)]

P(A|B) = 0.00123597357 = 1.236 × 10^(-3)
