Calculate the probability that somebody is late.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  9/20

=============================================================

Explanation:

Define the following events

D = weather is dryR = weather is rainyS = weather is snowyL = person is lateT = person is on time

We are given the following probabilities

P(D) = 1/2P(R) = 1/3P(S) = 1/6

Then we're further told that "if it is dry, then the probability someone will arrive on time is 4/5". We can condense that into the notation

P(T given D) = 4/5

The "given D" means that we know 100% that event D has occurred. So we're seeing how event T behaves because of D occurring. In other words P(T given D) is the same as saying "What is P(T) when we know D has happened?"

-------------------------

The instructions also mention that "If it rains, the probability someone is on time is 2/5" tells us we have the notation

P(T given R) = 2/5

And also, the probability someone is on time if it is snowy is

P(T given S) = 1/10

due to it saying "If it snows, the probability that someone will arrive on time is 1/10".

-------------------------

To recap so far, your teacher told you these three conditional probabilities

P(T given D) = 4/5P(T given R) = 2/5P(T given S) = 1/10

They are conditional due to the "given" as part of the probability. They depend on the given event happening.

Subtract each fraction from 1 and we end up with these complementary probabilities

P(L given D) = 1/5P(L given R) = 3/5P(L given S) = 9/10

I'm using the idea that P(A)+P(B) = 1, where A and B are complementary events. One or the other event must happen. Either you are on time, or you are late.

---------------------------

Recall the conditional probability formula is

P(A given B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

which rearranges to

P(A and B) = P(A given B)*P(B)

We'll use this idea to get the following

P(L and D) = P(L given D)*P(D) = (1/5)*(1/2) = 1/10P(L and R) = P(L given R)*P(R) = (3/5)*(1/3) = 1/5P(L and S) = P(L given S)*P(S) = (9/10)*(1/6) = 3/20

This means,

P(L) = P(L and D) + P(L and R) + P(L and S) ..... law of total probability

P(L) = 1/10 + 1/5 + 3/20

P(L) = 2/20 + 4/20 + 3/20

P(L) = (2+4+3)/20

P(L) = 9/20 is the probability someone is late

z = 4, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

[tex]\frac{5z+1}{3}[/tex] = 7 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

5z + 1 = 21 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

5z = 20 ( divide both sides by 5 )

z = 4

(b)

[tex]\frac{5x}{3}[/tex] + 3 = x + 7 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

5x + 9 = 3x + 21 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x + 9 = 21 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

This is the point that gets translated to F(-3, -2). The translation is ...

The type of segment shown in Blue is ALTITUDE segment

This is because

Angle BCD = Angle CEG (opposite angles)

Angle ACD= Angle CFG (opposite  angles)

Angle ADC = Angle BCD= Angle CEG = Angle CFG

Arianas goal is to reach $600 the first week she raises 30% of $600 .The second week she raises 50% of the $600 How much money does Ariana raise in the first two weeks?0

Answers

Answer: The amount raised by Ariana in the first two weeks =$480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The first week she raises 30% of $600 .

The second week she raises 50% of the $600.

Amount raised in the first week = 50% of $600

= 0.50 x 600

= $ 300

Amount raised in the second week = 30% of $600

=0.30 x 600

= $180

The amount raised by Ariana in the first two weeks = $300+$180

= $480

Hence, The amount raised by Ariana in the first two weeks =$480
