  1. A \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{10}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{10}\)
  4. D \(\frac{8}{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{believes}) = P(\text{believes}|A)P(A) + P(\text{believes}|B)P(B) + P(\text{believes}|C)P(C)\) \(P(\text{believes}) = (0.60)(\frac{1}{3}) + (0.70)(\frac{1}{3}) + (0.80)(\frac{1}{3})\) \(P(\text{believes}) = \frac{1}{3}(0.60 + 0.70 + 0.80) = \frac{1}{3}(2.10) = 0.70\)…
