Complete question is;

The probability that a comic book reader in a particular city prefers comics published by Company A is 25%. The probability that a comic book reader in the city is male is 70%. If the probability of a comic book reader in the city being a male, given that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%, what is the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, given that the reader is a male?

Answer:

0.14 or 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the probability that the comic book readers prefers comics published by company A is 25%.

Thus; P(A) = 25% = 0.25

Also, we are told that the probability that comic book reader is male 70%.

Thus; P(M_r) = 70% = 0.7

We are also told that the probability of a comic book reader being a male, provided that the reader prefers Company A's comics, is 40%.

Thus; P(A|M_r) = 40% = 0.4

To find the probability of the reader preferring Company A's comics, provided that the reader is a male, we will apply baye's theorem.

Thus;

P(M_r|A) = [P(A|M_r) × P(A)]/P(M)

P(M_r|A) = (0.4 × 0.25)/0.7

P(M_r|A) ≈ 0.14

Sammy bought 15.3 Liters of milk. She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles. There was 0.35 liters of milk left over. Calculate
Zanzabum

Answer:

The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Sammy bought 15.3 liters of milk

∵ She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles

∵ There were 0.35 liters of milk leftover

→ At first, subtract the leftover from the quantity she bought to

   find the capacity of the five bottles

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 15.3 - 0.35

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 14.95 liters

→ To find the capacity of each bottle divide the total capacity by 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 14.95 ÷ 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 2.99 liters

∴ The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

The Hawks are starting a babysitting business. They charge an initial deposit of $20
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation: So first you have to make this word problem into a equation into standard form so 20 is our (y) because that is the additional charge but our slope is 3 because that is what they charge per hr **when they say (per) usually the member with it is the slope** (sry I’m not the best explainer)
