Answer:

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "X" amount of 10% solution is used. Then the amount of 40% solution used is equal to 120-X

Now

10% of X + 40% of (120-X) = 15% of 120

On solving the above equation, we get

0.1 X + 0.4 (120-X) = 0.15 *120\\0.1 X + 48 -0.4X = 18\\0.3 X = 30\\X = 100liters

Amount of 40% solution used  = 120 -X = 120-100 = 20 liters

100 liters of  10% solution is used and 20 liters of  40% solution is used

At an art exhibition there are 12 paintings of which 10 are original. A visitor selects a painting at random and before decides
Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 0.8333

b) 0.75

c) 0.8181 or 0.9090

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is  

10/12 = 0.8333

b)

Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are <em>independent</em>, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is

0.8333*0.9 = 0.75

c)

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

9/11= 0.8181

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

10/11= 0.9090
