It takes 8 minutes for byron to fill the kiddie pool in the backyard using only a handheld hose. when his younger sister is impatient, byron also uses the lawn sprinkler to add water to the pool so it is filled more quickly. if the hose and sprinkler are used together, it takes 5 minutes to fill the pool. which equation can be used to determine r, the rate in parts per minute, at which the lawn sprinkler would fill the pool if used alone?

answer: 1, 3 and 5 are correct

step-by-step explanation:

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
