114. Lily is unable to solve two multiple-choice questions, each having exactly four answer choices. She decides to randomly guess. Each choice has the same chance of being selected, and her choice selection on one question does not influence her choice selection on the other question. What is the probability that Lily answers at least one of the two questions correctly? E. T 16 F. G. T 16 Н. 15 16 To

9. By rewriting the formula for the Multiplication Rule, you can write a formula for finding P(A and B) conditional probabilities. The conditional probability of event B occurring, given that event A has occurred, is P(B| A) = P(A) the information below to find the probability that a flight arrives on time given that it departed on time. The probability that an airplane flight departs on time is 0.92. The probability that a flight arrives on time is 0.86. The probability that a flight departs and arrives on time is 0.83. The probability that a flight arrives on time given that it departed on time is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.) . Use

to the joy that is coming!" - Romans 8:18 TEST 1 PROBLEM SOLVING: The table describes that in one block of RADTECH 225 class, there are male and female students. Some students have long hair and some students have short hair. LONG HAIR SHORT HAIR MALE 3 7 FEMALE 36 4 Denote the events M= the subject is male, F = the subject is female, L= the subject is Long Hair, S = the subject is Short hair. Compute the following probabilities, round off to two decimal places (not in fractions): *TAKE NOTE: If the answer is below zero (i.e., 0.05 or 0.50) always see to it that "O" is placed before the decimal point. If the answer is a whole number, there's NO NEED for you to place the decimal numbers. This is for your answers to be accepted/checked by the google form. 1. P(M) 2. P(F) P(L) 4. P(S) 5.
