Suppose that a box contains one fair coin (Heads and Tails are equally likely) and one coin with Heads on each side. Suppose further that someone else selects one of the two coins at random, tosses it three times, and gets the outcome {Heads, Heads, Heads}. In this problem, you will answer the following question in several parts: What is the probability that the chosen coin was the fair coin

Answers

Answer 1

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.1 = 10% probability that the chosen coin was the fair coin.

Conditional Probability

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem:

Event A: Three heads.Event B: Fair coin.

The probability associated with 3 heads are:

[tex]0.5^3 = 0.125[/tex] out of 0.5(fair coin).1 out of 0.5(biased).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.125 + 0.5 = 0.625[/tex]

The probability of 3 heads and the fair coin is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.5(0.125) = 0.0625[/tex]

Then, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0625}{0.625} = 0.1[/tex]

0.1 = 10% probability that the chosen coin was the fair coin.

About 12 peanuts.  This is 20% of 60 (nuts and peanuts together)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  there be a total of n pieces in the mixture.  Then, focusing on raisins, 0.80n = 48, so that n = 60.  Then the number of peanuts is 0.20(60) = 12.

Haley has 48 colored pencils and 3 cups (A, B, C). Cup A holds one more colored pencil than cup C. Cup B holds 2 more colored pencils than cup C. How many pencils does cup B contain?

Answers

Answer:

17 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that cup C holds x pencils. In this case, cup A holds x + 1 pencils, and cup B holds x + 2 pencils. We know that all of the cups together hold 48 pencils. If we add what we got together, we would get x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48. 2x + 1 + x + 2 = 48. 2x + x + 1 + 2 = 48. 3x + 1 + 2 = 48. 3x + 3 = 48. 3x = 48 - 3. 3x = 45. x = 45 / 3. x = 15. Now, we know that cup C holds 15 pencils, and from here, we can find the number of pencils in cup B by adding 2 to 15 and getting 17, and that would be your answer.

A, B & C form a triangle where Z BAC = 90°
AB = 4.8 mm and CA = 6.6 mm.
Find the length of BC, giving your answer rounded
to 1 DP.

Answers

Answer:

BC = 8.2 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle with BC as the hypotenuse

(BC)^2 = 4.8^2 + 6.6^2

(BC)^2 = 23.04 + 43.56

(BC)^2 = 66.6

Take the square root of both sides

BC = 8.1608823052

Rounded

BC = 8.2 mm

3(x-2)=18 can somebody plzz help me

Answers

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2)=18

3x-6=18

3x=18+6

3x=24

x=24/3

x=8

Given : Simplify 3(x - 2) = 18

Solution : According to the question, here we are given an equation i.e 3(x - 2) = 18 where we need to get the value of x by simplifying it.

3(x - 2) = 18

Cross multiplying 3 to the other side

x - 2 = 18/3

x - 2 = 6

Transposing -2 to the right hand side of the equation to get +2

x = 6 + 2

Adding them we get the final answer

x = 8

Henceforth, the required answer is 8

5. Markup: $48.60, Retail: $97.20

6. Markup: $231.25, Retail: $416.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the markup price of an item, multiply it by the markup percentage as a decimal. To get the decimal of a percentage, divide the number by 100. For example, 15% would be 0.15. And then to find how much the item has been marked up by, multiply the current price by the decimal.

$18 * 0.15 = $2.70

So $2.70 is the markup. To find the retail price, you need to add the markup price to the current price given.

$18 + $2.70 = $20.70

So your retail price is $20.70. Repeat these steps for each question to get the answers above.

However, not all people have those abilities. Some are born without the ability to speak, see, or hear. Others lose one or all of these abilities due to illness or accident. Not being able to communicate can be a major obstacle, but people who overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others. Instead, people who have to overcome these challenges are often determined, resourceful, and dedicated to helping others.A Great TeacherOne person who did not allow her disability to limit her was Helen Keller. Keller, who became blind and deaf at the age of one and a half due to illness, learned at a very young age that her life was going to be different. As a child in the late 1800s, she did not have access to the technology we have today that assists people with disabilities in their daily lives. Instead, she had a very dedicated and creative teacher who stuck with Keller throughout her life. This teacher's name was Anne Sullivan. As a result of Sullivan's dedication and Keller's own determination, she learned when many thought she could not.Learning How to CommunicateSullivan helped her learn to communicate by using the resources and abilities Keller did have. Keller could touch, taste, and smell. Sullivan taught her to associate hand movements with words. She would spell words on Keller's hand while having her touch the related object. By associating a physical object with the hand movements, Helen learned the meaning of countless words. Learning to speak was tackled in a similar way. By feeling lips as they moved, Keller learned how to use her lips to form words. Using such innovative techniques and the resources available to her opened whole new worlds for Keller's learning. Sullivan encouraged and mentored Keller, never letting her give up and always believing the best for her.An Inspiration to OthersAnother way Keller learned to communicate was through writing. As an adult, she attended Radcliffe College, which allowed her to advance her education, even though many people doubted her ability to be successful. While she was there, she wrote her autobiography, which told the world about her struggles and accomplishments. She was able to share her story through Braille, a form of writing using raised dots felt with the fingers. Throughout her entire college career, Anne Sullivan was beside her, encouraging Keller and interpreting the words she could not see and the sounds she could not hear. Helen Keller's perseverance and Anne Sullivan's dedication became an inspiration for many children and adults around the world.Helen Keller went on to be a successful author and teacher. She became a mentor to other children and adults living with disabilities. To this day, Keller is remembered for her determination, resourcefulness, and dedication that helped her to overcome obstacles and inspire others.Which details best support the claim that Keller learned to communicate successfully?
