Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating joint probabilities in a scenario involving tire purchases. The original poster presents a set of events related to customers purchasing tires, along with various unconditional and conditional probabilities that need to be analyzed.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants inquire about the original poster's progress on the problem and encourage them to attempt the calculations independently. There is a focus on understanding the relationships between the events and the probabilities provided.

Discussion Status

Some participants have offered guidance on how to approach the problem, emphasizing the importance of the original poster attempting the calculations themselves. There is a mix of encouragement and frustration regarding the original poster's urgency and perceived lack of effort.

Contextual Notes

There is a sense of urgency from the original poster due to an upcoming quiz, which raises questions about their motivation to learn versus simply seeking answers. Additionally, there is a potential misunderstanding regarding the terminology used, as "tries" may have been intended to mean "tires."

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 probability 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"?
