4 0

so the total number is 60, and we can just divide it by (3+9) and then distribute accordingly.

$\stackrel{ratio~3:9}{60}\qquad \qquad 3\cdot \frac{60}{3+9}~~ :~~9\cdot \frac{60}{3+9}\implies 3\cdot \frac{60}{12}~~ :~~9\cdot \frac{60}{12} \\\\\\ 3(5)~~ : ~~9(5)\implies 15~~:~~45$

Find the missing probability. P(B)=720,P(A|B)=14 ,P(A∩B)=?

Ivan

Answer:

7/80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: P(B) = 7 / 20, P(A|B)= 1 / 4

Bayes theorem is used to mathematically represent the conditional probability of an event A given B. According to Bayes theorem:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of event B occurring, P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and event B occurring and P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given event B.

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A \cap B)=P(A|B)*P(B)\\\\Substituting:\\\\P(A \cap B)=1/4*7/20=7/80\\\\P(A \cap B)=7/80$
