- Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consulting trips to Washington, D.C.; 60% of the time she travels on airline #1, 20% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline #1, flights are late into D.C. 40% of the time and late into L.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentages are 30% and 25%, whereas for airline #3 the percentages are 20% and 10%. If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, what are the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines #1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.arrow_forwardFour families decided to go watch a movie on a Friday evening. The Rahmans (R) have 5 family members, the Khans (K) have 3, Sarkars (S) 2, and the Hasans (H) 2. They buy a movie-ticket for each member. During the intermission, R goes to the concession-stand and buys 5 large popcorns. K buys 2. S and the H buy 1 and 0 respectively. Once the movie ends, the families go to an ice-cream parlour nearby. R orders 4 scoops of ice-cream and 2 coffees. K orders 2 scoops of ice-cream and 3 coffees. S orders 4 scoops of ice-cream and 2 coffees. H orders 1 scoops of ice-creams and 2 coffees. At the end of the night, the total expenditure of the families are as follows: The Rahmans have spent Tk. 5064; the Khans have spent Tk. 2896; the Sarkars have spent Tk. 2889; and the Hasans have spent Tk. 1518.

You are allowed to make a number of draws from the bag (w/ replacement) and if you draw at least as many red marbles as black you win the jackpot of $100.a. Would you rather make 50 draws from the bag or 200 draws, or does it not matter? Justify your answer. (Hint: Draw a picture of the sampling distribution)b. If the game is changed so that you win if you draw at least as many black marbles as red how does this change your answer? We've been studying the central limit theorem and sampling distributions, but I don't understand how I am supposed to figure this out without knowing the population or the standard deviation. Obviously, the larger the sample will be better, but I don't understand how I am supposed to prove it.arrow_forward
- Part 2: Carnival Games At the carnival, you may remember a game where you throw darts to pop two balloons from a wall. The balloons may have prize tokens. For the next player... • There are 50 balloons on the wall and 21 of them each contain a prize token. • The next player pays $2 and gets to throw darts until they pop 2 balloons. Their winnings are based on how many prize tokens they collect. See the table below. Note: The payout of tokens does NOT take into consideration the $2 the player paid. Find the expected value for this game for the next player. Find who the game favors. Complete the tree diagram using non-simplified fractions to label the probabilities. Use T for token and NT for no token. On the right of the tree, list the four outcomes and their final probabilities using non-simplified fractions. Check these add to one.
