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

Find a and b such that gcd(a, b) = 14, a > 2000, b > 2000, and the only prime divisors of a and b are 2 and 7.
choli [55]

Answer:

a = 2^\alpha.14 \ ,\alpha\geq 8\\b = 7^\delta.14 \ , \delta\geq 3

Step-by-step explanation:

As 2  and 7 are the only prime divisors of both a and b we know that both can be written as:

a = 2^\alpha . 7^\beta \ , \alpha ,\beta\ \in \mathbb{N}_{0}\\b = 2^\gamma . 7^\delta \ , \gamma ,\delta\ \in \mathbb{N}_{0}\\

Where \mathbb{N}_{0} is the set of all natural numbers adding the zero (careful because this part is important as I'll explain next).

We also know that 14 divides both numbers and that is actually the greatest common divisor between them. So we can rewrite a and b as follows:

a = 2^\alpha . 7^\beta.14 \ , \alpha ,\beta\ \in \mathbb{N}_{0}\\b = 2^\gamma . 7^\delta.14 \ , \gamma ,\delta\ \in \mathbb{N}_{0}\\

Why do I write them like this? Because this way is easier to observe that if \alpha and \gamma were both greater than zero, then 28 would divide both hence 14 wouldn't be their g.c.d.. Likewise, if \beta and \delta were both greater than zero, then 98 would divide both and once again, 14 wouldn't be their g.c.d.

So either of them has to be equal to zero. And then we have that

a = 2^\alpha.14 \\b = 7^\delta.14

All we have left to do is find the possible values for \alpha and \delta so that a>2000 \ , b>2000 and that only happens if \alpha\geq 8 and \delta\geq 3
