Question

The growth of 100 young trees near a river is given below. At most 50 yards from the river (Event Y) More than 50 yards from the river (Event Z) Grew at most 3 feet during the year (Event E) 10 35 Grew more than 3 feet during the year (Event F) 50 5 If a tree grew more than 3 feet during the year, how much more likely is it that the tree was at most 50 yards from the river? Show all of your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is 91% more likely that the tree was atmost 500 yards from the river.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with distance and height of 100 young trees near a river.

From that table, in total there are 55 trees which grow more than 3 ft during the year.

And among those 55 trees, 50 trees are atmost 50 yards from river.

Hence it is ≈91% more likely that the tree was atmost 50 yards from the river.
