Description:

Toni ordered pizza for a party, and needs it to arrive by 7pm. There is a 30% chance the pizza will be delivered late. If the pizza is late, there is an 80% chance it will be cold. Regardless of whether the pizza shows up on time, there is also a 31% chance it will be cold. If the pizza was cold on arrival, what is the probability it was delivered late?

Okay sy mash members we got some more probability stuff

00:07

for you Here we go Tony ordered pizza for a

00:09

party and needs it to arrive by seven pm there's

00:12

a thirty percent chance that pizza will be delivered late

00:15

If the pizza's late there's an eighty percent chance it

00:18

will be cold regardless of whether the pizza shows up

00:21

on time There's also a thirty one percent chance it

00:24

will be cold if the pizza was cold on arrival

00:27

Well what is the probability It was delivered late Okay

00:33

well when we need to travel back in time to

00:35

answer a probability question our choices are the tricked out

00:38

delorean time machine or based there Um well since we

00:41

let out the delorean will go with based their amir

00:44

based serum comes in two versions and each one is

00:46

useful in different situations Take a look at the information

00:49

given by the question and put it in symbolic form

00:52

to figure out which version of bays to use Well

00:55

we want to know the probability that that pizza dude

00:57

was late given that the pizza was cold If we

01:00

set event b to be late delivery and a to

01:03

be cold pizza we're looking to find probability of be

01:07

given a probability that the pizza's cold given that it

01:10

was delivered late His point eight That means well this

01:12

p a given b thing is point eight Right That's

01:15

probability The probability of a late delivery is point three

01:18

or ah this thing the probability that pizza arrives cold

01:21

is point three one or ah this equation right there

01:24

Well the three things we do know and the one

01:25

thing we want to know match the simpler form Of

01:28

based serum which is this thing and we just plug

01:31

it all in and see if it works So we've

01:33

got point eight times point three over point three one

01:35

that's point two four point three one what does that

01:37

give us About a seventy seven and a half percent

01:40

chance that the pizza dude was late If the pizza

01:43

arrived cold gross and all congealed congealed What happened Your

01:48

pineapple pizza We need more pineapple on it Come on 00:01:50.688 --> [endTime] guys
