1. The completion of a construction job may be delayed because of a strike. The probabilities are 0.60 that there will be a strike, 0.85 that the construction will be finished on time if there is no strike, and 0.35 that the construction will be finished on time if there is a strike. If the job was finished on time, what is the probability that a strike occurred?

Step 1
- Let \( S \) be the event that a strike occurs. - Let \( T \) be the event that the construction job is finished on time. - The probability of a strike is \( P(S) = 0.60 \). - The probability of finishing on time given no strike is \( P(T \mid \neg S) = 0.85 Show more…

The probability that a construction job will be finished on time is 3/5; the probability that there will be no strike is 2/3, the probability that the job finished on time given that there will be no strike is 4/5, find (i) What is the probability that the job will be finished on time and there will be no strike? (ii) What is the probability that there will have been no strike given that the job finished on time?

A person has undertaken a mining job. The probabilities of completing the job on time with and without rain are 0.42 and 0.90, respectively. If the probability of rain is 0.45, then determine the probability that the mining job will not be completed on time.
