Algebra.Com's Answer #710657 by greenestamps(13334) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The probability that A solves the problem is 0.65, so the probability that A does NOT solve the problem is \n" ); document.write( "The probability that B solves the problem is 0.75, so the probability that B does NOT solve the problem is \n" ); document.write( "Then the probability that NEITHER A NOR B solves the problem is \n" ); document.write( "And so the probability that someone solves the problem is \n" ); document.write( "And finally the probability that A solves the problem, GIVEN THAT someone solves the problem, is \n" ); document.write( "If you want an exact answer, use fractions instead of decimals: \n" ); document.write( "The probability that A solves the problem is 13/20, so the probability that A does NOT solve the problem is \n" ); document.write( "The probability that B solves the problem is 3/4, so the probability that B does NOT solve the problem is \n" ); document.write( "Then the probability that NEITHER A NOR B solves the problem is \n" ); document.write( "And so the probability that someone solves the problem is \n" ); document.write( "And finally the probability that A solves the problem, GIVEN THAT someone solves the problem, is \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
