Three prisoners are informed by their jailer that one of them has been chosen at random to be executed, and the other two are to be freed. Prisoner A asks the jailer to tell him privately which of his fellow prisoners will be set free (with the assumption that the jailer will randomize between B and C if A is the unfortunate soul). A claims that there would be no harm in divulging this information, since he already knows that at least one will go free. The jailer refuses by arguing that if A knew, A’s probability of being executed would rise from 1/3 to 1/2 (i. e., there would only be two prisoners left). Who is correct?

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are

do you have the measurements?

i think it is 70

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
