A company is considering producing some new Gameboy electronic games. Based on past records, management believes that there is a 70 percent chance that each of these will be successful and a 30 percent chance of failure. Market research may be used to revise these probabilities. In the past, the successful products were predicted to be successful based on market research 90 percent of the time. However, for products that failed, the market research predicted these would be successes 20 percent of the time. If market research is performed for a new product, what is the probability that the results indicate an unsuccessful market for the product and the product is actually unsuccessful

The probability that the results indicate an unsuccessful market for the product and the product is actually unsuccessful is P=0.77.

Step-by-step explanation:

Events:

S: success

F: failure

MS: market research forecast a success

MF: market reasearch forecast a failure

The information we have is:

P(S)=0.70

P(F)=0.30

P(S|MS)=0.90

P(F|MS)=0.20

If P(F|MS)=0.20, we can derive that P(F|MF)=0.80. That is, the failed products were predicted to be a failure based on market research 80 percent of the time.

We also can conclude that P(S|MF)=0.10.

We can calculate the probability of having a forecast of a failure, given that the product is actually unsuccessful as:

The probability that the results indicate an unsuccessful market for the product and the product is actually unsuccessful is P=0.77.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
