Blue Cab operates 15% of the taxis in a certain city, and Green Cab operates the other 85%. After a nighttime hit-and-run accident involving a taxi, an eyewitness said the vehicle was blue. Suppose, though, that under night vision conditions, only 80% of individuals can correctly distinguish between a blue and a green vehicle. What is the (posterior) probability that the taxi at fault was blue? [Hint: A tree diagram might help. Note: This is based on an actual incident.] (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Indicate the probability rule you used. The Division Rule The Rule of Permutations The Product Rule for Ordered Pairs Bayes' Theorem The Product Rule for k-Tuples

A recent study has shown that approximately 31.6% of Canadians are considered 'supertasters,' or people who experience the sense of taste with greater intensity than average. Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.
This is a Statistics problem. Please explain each step thoroughly. The problem I'm having issues with is shown below: In an experiment where you toss a fair coin twice, define events: AA : the first toss is heads. BB : the second toss is heads. CC : both tosses are the same. Show that AA and BB are independent. Show that AA and CC are independent. Show that BB and CC are independent. Finally, show that AA, BB, and CC are not mutually independent.

2. Of people who died in the United States in a recent year, 86% were white, 12% were black, and 2% were Asian. (These values ignore a small number of earths among other races. ) Diabetes caused 2.8% of deaths among whites, 4.4% among blacks, and 3.5% among Asians. (a) draw a completely labeled probability tree for this problem. (b) calculate the overall percent of people who died of diabetes across all the three races. (c) given a randomly selected dead person died of diabetes, what is the probability that he/she was white?
