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

9(1 + w) – 5w = 5
W=

Answers

Answer:

w= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use PEMDAS to solve.

9(1 + w) - 5w = 5

distribute 9 to everything inside the parentheses.

9 x 1 = 9

9 x w = 9w

rewrite equation

9 + 9w - 5w = 5

combine like terms

9w - 5w = 4w

rewrite equation

9 + 4w = 5

subtract 9 from both sides

9 - 9 = 0

5 - 9 = -4

rewrite equation

4w = -4

divide by 4 on both sides to get w by itself.

4w / 4 = w

-4 / 4 = -1
