Two students, Alice and Bob, forgot to put their names on their exam papers. The professor knows that Alice does well with probability 0.8, and Bob does well with probability 0.4, independently of each other. What is the probability that exactly one of Alice and Bob does well on the exam

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = 0.56[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the probability that Alice does well with P(A), the probability that Bob does well with P(B).

So, we have:

[tex]P(A) = 0.8[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = 0.4[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability that only one of them do well

This event is represented as: (A and B') or (B and A')

Where B' means Bob does not perform well and A' means Alice does not perform well.

And:

[tex]P(B') = 1 - P(B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A') = 1 - P(A)[/tex]

So, the probability becomes:

[tex]Probability = P(A\ and\ B')\ or\ P(B\ and\ A')[/tex]

[tex]Probability = P(A) * P(B')\ +\ P(B)*P(A')[/tex]

[tex]Probability = P(A) * (1-P(B)) +\ P(B)*(1-P(A))[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.8 * (1-0.4) +\ 0.4*(1-0.8)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.8 * 0.6 +\ 0.4*0.2[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.48 + 0.08[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.56[/tex]

Hence, the required probability is 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

you put all numbers from least to greatest then you get the small nd big number nd subtract them

Car repairs: Let be the event that a new car requires engine work under warranty and let be the event that the car requires transmission work under warranty. Suppose that ,P(E) = 0.10 , P(T) = 0.02 and P(E,T) = 0.01 .
(a) Find the probability that the car needs work on either the engine, the transmission, or both.
(b) Find the probability that the car needs no work on the engine.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.11 =  11% probability that the car needs work on either the engine, the transmission, or both.

b) 0.9 = 90% probability that the car needs no work on the engine.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(E) = 0.10 , P(T) = 0.02 and P(E,T) = 0.01 .

This means that:

Only engine: 0.1 - 0.01 = 0.09

Only transmission: 0.02 - 0.01 = 0.01

Both engine and transmission: 0.01

(a) Find the probability that the car needs work on either the engine, the transmission, or both.

0.09 + 0.01 + 0.01 = 0.11

0.11 =  11% probability that the car needs work on either the engine, the transmission, or both.

(b) Find the probability that the car needs no work on the engine.

Probability of needing work on engine:

0.09 + 0.01 = 0.1

Not needing:

1 - 0.1 = 0.9

0.9 = 90% probability that the car needs no work on the engine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two athletes practice for a marathon by running back and forth on an 11-mile course. They start running simultaneously, one at a speed 2 mph faster than the other's speed. How fast does each run if they meet 1 hour 6 minutes after starting? (The faster runner is already returning at this point.) How far from the starting point do the runners meet?

Answers

Answer:

Faster runner speed: 11 mph

Slower runner speed: 9 mph

Distance from starting point: 9.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slower runner speed be: x

Faster runner speed: x+2

1 hour 6 minutes = 1.1 hours

Slower: 1.1(x) = 1.1x miles

Faster: 1.1(x+2) = 1.1x+2.2 miles

This means that the faster runner had gone 2.2 miles more than the slower runner.

1.1x + 2.2 > 11 miles (This is true as we know the faster runner is coming back from the 11 mile run)

1.1x > 11 - 2.2 miles

1.1x > 8.8 miles

x > 8.8 / 2.2 miles

x > 8 mph

1.1x < 11 miles (we know this is true as the slower runner has to have gone less than 11 miles as the faster runner met him on his way back)

x < 11 / 1.1 miles

x < 10 miles

8 < x < 10

Although x could be any number including decimal between 8 and 10, the obvious first answer would be 9. However we need to check if this answer is correct.

Slower runner distance to the end:

1.1(9) = 9.9 miles

11 - 9.9 = 1.1 miles

Faster runners distance from the end (when coming back)

1.1(9+2) = 1.1(11) = 12.1 miles

12.1 - 11 = 1.1 miles

The speeds 9 mph and 11 mph are now proven to be the right speeds. Using our equation before, we can figure out the distance from the starting point that they meet at. This is just how far the slower runner has gotten. So, 1.1(9) = 9.9 miles from the starting point

Market researchers selected a random sample of people from region A and a random sample of people from region B. The researchers asked the people in the samples whether they had tried a new product. The difference between the sample proportions (B minus A) of people in the regions who indicated they had tried the new product was 0.15. Under the assumption that all conditions for inference were met, a hypothesis test was conducted with the alternative hypothesis being that the population proportion of B is greater than that of A. The p-value of the test was 0.34.

Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p -value?
a. If the difference in proportions of people who have tried the new product between the two populations is actually 0.15, the probability of observing that difference is 0.34.
b. If the difference in proportions of people who have tried the new product between the two populations is actually 0.34, the probability of observing that difference is 0.15.
c. If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.15 is 0.34.
d. If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference of at most 0.15 is 0.34.
e. If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference equal to 0.15 is 0.34.

Answers

Answer:

C) If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.15 is 0.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of the test is to the right of 0.15, because the researchers hypothesize that the proportion in region B is greater than the proportion in region A. The p-value is the probability of observing a sample difference of at least 0.15 if the null hypothesis is true.

You can use the fact that the p-value denotes the probability of the area to the right of the test statistic and symmetrically to the left(if the test is two tailed, else its just on the right tail)

The option that is the correct interpretation of the p-value is:

Option c. If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.15 is 0.34

What does p value shows in the hypothesis testing?

A p value helps us to decide whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. If the obtained p value is smaller than the level of significance, then we reject the null hypothesis else we accept it.

The p value shows the area to the right of the test statistic(in the right tail after the plot of test statistic on the x axis)

It shows both right and left tail symmetrically if the test is two tailed.

Since the test statistic is difference between the sample proportions and the alternate hypothesis is testing if the difference is greater than 0.15 or not. Thus, it is single tailed test.

Due to this, the p value is showing if the test statistic is 0.15 or to the right which is higher that 0.15 thus, p value is showing the probability that the test statistic is at least 0.15 is given by 0.34

Thus,

Option c. If the proportions of all people who have tried the new product is the same for both regions, the probability of observing a difference of at least 0.15 is 0.34.

(Assume that A1, A2, and A3 are mutually exclusive events whose union is the entire sample space.)

Compute P(B â© A1), P(B â© A2), and P(B â© A3).

Answers

Answer:

P( B∩ A₁ ) = 0.25

P( B∩ A₂ )  = 0.08

P( B∩ A₃  ) = 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

P( B∩ A₁ ) = P( B| A₁) × P(A₁)

P( B∩ A₂ ) = P( B| A₂) × P(A₂)

P( B∩ A₃ ) = P( B| A₃) × P(A₃)

As we have

P(A₁) = 0.50, P(A₂) = 0.20, and P(A₃) = 0.30.

P(B | A₁) = 0.50, P(B | A₂) = 0.40, and P(B | A₃) = 0.20

⇒P( B∩ A₁ ) = P( B| A₁) × P(A₁)

                   = 0.50(0.50)

                   = 0.25

⇒P( B∩ A₁ ) = 0.25

Now,

⇒P( B∩ A₂ ) = P( B| A₂) × P(A₂)

                   = 0.40(0.20)

                   = 0.08

⇒P( B∩ A₂ )  = 0.08

Now,

⇒P( B∩ A₃ ) = P( B| A₃) × P(A₃)

                   = 0.20(0.30)

                   = 0.06

⇒P( B∩ A₃  ) = 0.06

∴ we get

P( B∩ A₁ ) = 0.25

P( B∩ A₂ )  = 0.08

P( B∩ A₃  ) = 0.06
