A thief who is particularly knowledgeable about statistics and the legal system determines that if he commits a given heist the probability that he is never caught is 60%. If he is arrested he will go to trial where there is a 30% chance the jury will acquit him, a 30% chance he is convicted and serves a prison sentence less than five years, and a 40% chance the sentence is more than five years. What is the probability that the thief is not imprisoned in 5 years?

What is the probability that the thief was arrested given that he is not imprisoned in 5 years?

9514 1404 393

  about 28.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability equation can be used:

  P(arrested | not in jail) = P(arrested & not in jail)/P(not in jail)

  = 0.24/0.84 = 2/7 ≈ 28.6%

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
