A total of 48percent of the women and 37percent of the men who took a certain鈥渜uit smoking鈥 class remained nonsmokers for at least one year after completing the class. These people then attended a success party at the end of the year. If 62percent of the original class was male,

(a) what percentage of those attending the party were women?

(b) what percentage of the original class attended the party?

Short Answer

Expert verified

First calculate(b),then using (b)calculate (a)

a) 44.29%

b) 41.18%

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part b)

What percentage of the original class attended the party?

02

Explanation (part b)

Consider events:

S - a randomly chosen person from the class attends the success party.

M -a randomly chosen person from the class is male

F - a randomly chosen person from the class is female

Given probabilities ( conditioned on being in the class)

Pc(SF)=0.48

Pc(SM)=0.37

Pc(M)=0.62

Men and women are considered competing hypothesis so:

F=McPc(F)=1Pc(M)=38%

Use the version of Bayes formula (obtained by breakingSintoSMandSF)

Pc(S)=P(M)P(SM)+P(F)P(SF)

=0.620.37+0.380.48

=0.4118

03

Final Answer (part b)

The percentage of the original class attended the party is0.4118

04

Given Information (part a)

what percentage of those attending the party were women?

05

Explanation (part a)

Therefore, the answer to b) is41.18%of people from the class attended the success party.

Pc(FS)=Pc(FS)Pc(S)

=Pc(SF)Pc(F)Pc(S)

=0.480.380.4118

=0.4429

06

Final Answer (part a)

percentage of those attending the party were women is0.4429

Fifty-two percent of the students at a certain college are females. Five percent of the students in this college are majoring in computer science. Two percent of the students are women majoring in computer science. If a student is selected at random, 铿乶d the conditional probability that

(a) the student is female given that the student is majoring in computer science;

(b) this student is majoring in computer science given that the student is female

A worker has asked her supervisor for a letter of recommendation for a new job. She estimates that there is an 80 percent chance that she will get the job if she receives a strong recommendation, a 40 percent chance if she receives a moderately good recommendation, and a 10 percent chance if she receives a weak recommendation. She further estimates that the probabilities that the recommendation will be strong, moderate, and weak are .7, .2, and .1, respectively.

(a) How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?

(b) Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation? a moderate recommendation? a weak recommendation?

(c) Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation? a moderate recommendation? a weak recommendation?

Consider two independent tosses of a fair coin. Let Abe the event that the first toss results in heads, let Bbe the event that the second toss results in heads, and let Cbe the event that in both tosses the coin lands on the same side. Show that the events A, B, and C are pairwise independent鈥攖hat is, A and B are independent, A and C are independent, and B and C are independent鈥攂ut not independent.

Aand Bare involved in a duel. The rules of the duel are that they are to pick up their guns and shoot at each other simultaneously. If one or both are hit, then the duel is over. If both shots miss, then they repeat the process. Suppose that the results of the shots are independent and that each shot of Awill hit Bwith probability pA, and each shot of Bwill hit Awith probability pB. What is

(a) the probability that Ais not hit?

(b) the probability that both duelists are hit? (c) the probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots

(d) the conditional probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots given that Ais not hit?

(e) the conditional probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots given that both duelists are hit?
