AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating joint probabilities in a tire purchase scenario, focusing on events related to the origin of tires, balancing, and alignment requests. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the problem rather than seeking direct solutions, highlighting a desire to assist in the learning process. The user has attempted some calculations, specifically for P(A ∩ B ∩ C) and P(A | B ∩ C), but struggles with other components. There is a notable frustration regarding the urgency of the request for help before an upcoming quiz. Overall, the conversation stresses the need for engagement and effort in solving the probability problems presented.

URGENT : Probability question help me please !

For customers purchasing a full set of tries at a particular tries store, the events :
A = tries purchsed were made in United States
B = purchaser has tries balanced immediately
C = pruchas 1 er requests font-end alignment

along with A', B' and C'
Assume the following unconditional and conditional prpbabilities:
p(A)=0.75
p(B|A) 0.9
p(B|A')=0.8
p(C|AB)=0.8
P(C|AB')=0.6
P(C|A' B)=0.7
P(C| A '  B ' ) = 0.3





a ) constract a tree diagram consisting of first, second and third -generation branches and place an event label and apporiate probabilty next to each branch.


b) compute P ( A  B  C )

c ) compute P ( B  C )

d ) P (C)


e) compute P (A |B  C ).the probability of a purchasing of US. tries given that both balancing and an aligment were requested




Thank you

Have you solved any of these? Or thought about? How far did you get?
 
try it first and the rest of us will help you.

We aren't here to solve problems flat out for you...People here want to help, not waste their and your time.
 
yes actually I tried to solve it..


but I did not know how to solve a , c and d

my solution for b ) is =

P (C / A intersiction B).P(A intersection B)
= P ( C/ A intersiction B ) . P (B / A ) . P (A)
= 0.8 * 0.9 * 0.75 = 0.54




and e )

= p (A intersection B intersection C ) / p ( B intersection C )
= 0.54 / 0.68
= 0.7941
 
Please I need the solution tonight coz I have Quiz in it tommorw morning
 
??

So what you are telling us is that you really don't want to learn anything, you just want to trick your teacher into thinking you know it?

Just out of curiosity, is it at all possible that by "tries" you mean "tires"?
