J. -8 is the correct answer
Answer:
B.) P(A/B) = P(A)
Step-by-step explanation:
If two events, A and B are independent:
We have that:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
Since they are independent:
Then
So
, or either:
, and thus, the correct answer is given by option B.
The probability that a participant successfully catches 3 rainbow trout, given that the participant was a woman is 0.0042.
P(woman) = 12/28
= 3/7
P(men) = 16/28
= 4/7
P(3 trouts) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) + P(3 trout | men)*P(man)
= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (15C3 * (0.09^3)*(1-0.09)^(15*3))*(4/7)
= P(3 trout | women)*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)
P(woman | 3 trout) = P(3 trout | women)*P(woman) / P(3 trouts)
{P(3 trout | women) = p}
p*(3/7) / (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7)) = 0.40
p*(3/7)/0.40 = (p*(3/7) + (0.00476)*(4/7))
p*((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7)) = (0.00476)*(4/7)
p = [(0.00476)*(4/7)] / [((3/7)/0.40 - (3/7))]
= 0.0042
