Assume that a spherical cell, with a diameter of 18 μm, has spherical mitochondria, each with a diameter of 0.18 μm. if mitochondria occupy 13.4% of the volume of the cell, how many mitochondria are there?

Since the linear dimension of the mitochondria is 10^-2 times that of the cell, the volume as a proportion of cell volume will be (10^-2)^3 = 10^-6. In order to make up 0.134 of the cell volume, there must be

(1.34×10^-1)/(10^-6) = 1.34×10^5

mitochondria in the cell.

There are about 134,000 mitochondria.

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
