You are about to visit Jamestown in North Dakota, to see the world's largest buffalo monument. You know that it snows $25\%$ of the time in North Dakota, and you are thinking about bringing your parka. It turns out that you have three friends who live in North Dakota, but they are not very trustworthy: Each tells the truth $\frac{2}{3}$ of the time, and lies for the remaining $\frac{1}{3}.$ You call your three friends, and each friend tells you that it is indeed snowing in North Dakota. Given this information, what is the probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota

The probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota is 17%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The data in the question is not properly stated. The complete question is therefore represented to correct this as follows:

You are about to visit Jamestown in North Dakota, to see the world's largest buffalo monument. You know that it snows 25% of the time in North Dakota, and you are thinking about bringing your parka. It turns out that you have three friends who live in North Dakota, but they are not very trustworthy: Each tells the truth 2/3 of the time, and lies for the remaining 1/3. You call your three friends, and each friend tells you that it is indeed snowing in North Dakota. Given this information, what is the probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota?

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

The probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota can be calculated using the following formula:

Pa = Pr * Pt (1)

Where;

Pa = the probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota = ?

Pr = the prior probability that it snows in North Dokota = 25%, or 0.25

Pt = Probability of saying the truth that it snows = 2/3 = 0.67

Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:

Pa = 0.25 * 0.67

Pa = 0.17, or 17%

Therefore, the probability that it is actually snowing in North Dakota is 17%.

3 3 6, because in every triangle the longer side is always shorter than the sum of the other two

all three statements are true

step-by-step explanation:

a shipping fee of 5% is charged online with every item purchased online

first let's just take each option and calculate them based on this, to see if the answers matched

keith buys a 40 dollar book

40 x 0.05 = 2

therefore there will be a two dollar fee on keith's book

40 + 2 =42

the first statement is true

a chair costs $80

80 x 0.05 = 4

80 + 4 = 84

the second statement is true

george buys a 20 dollar calculator

20 x 0.05 = 1

20 + 1 = 21

the third statements are true

all three statements are true
