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.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

84 ÷ 42 x 6 + 18

Using the PEMDAS rule.

84 ÷ 252 + 18

84/252 + 18

1/3 + 18

(1 + 54)/3

= 55/3

Thus,

The value of the expression is 55/3.

Merriam and Emmanuel assemble a new bookshelf. Its 1ft deep,4ft wide, and 8ft tall. They assemble it flat bit when they tip it up The shelf hits the ceiling. Why does it hit the ceiling

Answers

The maximum dimension of the shelf is given by the space diagonal

length of the shelf.

A possible reason why the shelf hits the ceiling is because the ceiling is

less than or equal to 9 feet from the ground.

Reasons:

The maximum height of the shelf is given as follows;

The diagonal of one of the side = √(8² + 4²)

The diagonal of the completed shelve = √((√(8² + 4²))² + 1²) = 9

The maximum extension of the shelve = 9 feet

Given that the shelf touches the ceiling, we have, that maximum height of

the ceiling = 9 feet.

Therefore, the shelf touches the ceiling because, height from the floor to

the ceiling is lesser than equal to 9 feet.

Minimum:

b + c > a  

17 + c > 8  

c > -9

(As it cannot be negative, we will call this 9.)

So, our answer is D as c, x, must be less than 25 and greater than 9.

Elizabeth is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, she made some free throws (worth one point each) and some two point shots. Elizabeth scored a total of 16 points and made twice as many free throws as two point shots. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of free throws made, x,x, and the number of two point shots made, yy.

Answers

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the two equations for this question are x + 2y = 16 (represents the number of free throws and 2-pointers) and 2y = x (represents the ratio of free throws to 2-pointers). Now we can use substitution to help us solve this problem, by substituting 2y for the x variable in the first equation to get (2y) + 2y = 16. Now we combine the like terms to get 4y = 16. Now we can divide both sides of this equation by 4 to get y = 4. Now we can find the x variable by substituting 4 for the y variable in the second equation. We get 2(4) = x and this simplifies to x = 8.

Note: The systems used to solve this question and the answers for the values of x and y are bolded.

find the equation of a line perpendicular to y=x-3 that contains the point (2,1)

Answers

Answer:

y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 3   This equation has a slope of 1

A line that would be perpendicular to the above line would then need a slope of -1

If the line has a slope of -1 and passes through (2, 1) then we can plug into

y = mx + b to get the 'b' value

1 = (-1)(2) + b

1 = -2 + b

3 = b

Equation would be y = -x + 3

Find the perimeter. Simplify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

P = 2w - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem use the perimeter formula [tex]P=2l+2w[/tex]

So here we have 1 as the width and w-6 as the length [tex]P=2(w-6) + 2(1)[/tex]

So we multiply 2(w) 2(-6) to get 2w-12

So because 2 times 1 is 2 the perimeter would be [tex]P=2w-12 + 2[/tex]

Simplified would be [tex]P=2w-10[/tex]

because -12 + 2 = 10

Which of the following expressions correctly describes Completing the Square?

Answers

The expression that correctly describes completing the square is;

Option C; x² + ax + (a/2)²

Let's say we have an expression;

x² + ax + c = 0

Let us first rearrange to get;

x² + ax = -c

Add (a/2)² to both sides to get;

x² + ax + (a/2)² = -c + (a/2)²

Thereafter, we can simplify the left hand side to give; (x + a/2)² = -c + (a/2)²

But from the given options, the only one with a corresponding step with what we have is option C which is x² + ax + (a/2)²

[tex]C + \frac{3}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] [tex]C + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
