Powered by AIThey watch a Tajik movie only on a Friday night with probability 4/9. Assume the probability of choosing any night is equal and given no explicit information on the weighting of other nights, the assumed cumulative probability for a Tajik movie is (4/9)/7 for all possible nights .
The probability of the intersection of events A and B can be calculated using the formula P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B). Substituting the provided values, 7/8 = 1/2 + 3/4 - P(A ∩ B). This simplifies to P(A ∩ B) = 1/2 + 3/4 - 7/8 = 3/8 .
The probability P(E1 | E2) is 0 because two 6-sided dice sum to 12 only if both show six, equating them but ensuring only a singular scenario rather than the probability-inclusive class of 'doubles' .
A game is fair if expected value equals zero. Calculate expected payout: P(JQ)*500 + P(A2)*100 - P(K10)*600. Estimate probabilities, given combinations, then use EV = 0 to assess fairness .
Assuming independence, the probability that the fifth fish is over 2 kg remains at 18%. The previous outcomes for the first four do not impact subsequent catch probabilities .
The likelihood they watch a movie other than the specified ones is the complement of watching listed movies. Calculate it by subtracting the sum of probabilities of each listed movie from 1. Without explicit details, assuming equal weighting, a further internal probability split might be required .
The probability needs applying Bayes' theorem: P(Sunday|Russian) = P(Russian|Sunday) * P(Sunday) / P(Russian). Without exact distributions, assuming equal night probabilities suffices unless specified otherwise .
Given they chose a Saturday night, the probability of watching a Russian movie is 3/25 since those are the provided conditional probabilities for that specific decision .
Start with 12 total balls, drawing a black ball decreases black count to 6. With 11 remaining balls, probability white is next is 5/11 .
For events A and B to be independent, P(A ∩ B) should equal P(A)P(B). Substituting the values, P(A)P(B) = (1/2)(3/4) = 3/8, which matches P(A ∩ B). Therefore, events A and B are independent .
