Box A contains 3 red and 2 blue marbles while Box B contains 2 red and 8 blue marbles. A fair coin is tossed. If the coin turns up heads, a marble is chosen from Box A; if it turns up tails, a marble is chosen from Box B.
A. Find the probability that a red marble is chosen.
B. Referring to above information, suppose that the person who tosses the coin does not reveal whether it has turned up heads or tails (so that the box from which a marble was chosen is not revealed) but does reveal that a red marble was chosen. What is the probability that Box A was chosen (i.e., the coin turned up heads)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

B. [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Box A contains 3 red and 2 blue marbles while Box B contains 2

            red and 8 blue marbles. A fair coin is tossed. If the coin turns up

            heads, a marble is chosen from Box A; if it turns up tails, a marble

            is chosen from Box B.

To find -  A. Find the probability that a red marble is chosen.

              B. Referring to above information, suppose that the person who

                  tosses the coin does not reveal whether it has turned up

                  heads or tails (so that the box from which a marble was

                  chosen is not revealed) but does reveal that a red marble was

                  chosen. What is the probability that Box A was chosen (i.e.,

                  the coin turned up heads)?

Proof -

As given ,

Box A : 3 red marbles and 2 blue marbles.

Box B : 2 red marbles and 8 blue marbles.

a.)

As we have to find the probability that a red marble is chosen.

A red marble is chosen in two different ways - either it can be from Box A or Box be .

If Box A is chosen , then Probability of red ball is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

If Box B is chosen , Then Probability of Red ball is [tex]\frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Now,

Probability of Box A is Chosen = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Probability of Box B is chosen = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

∴ we get

Probability that a Red marble is chosen =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]×[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{10}[/tex] = 0.4

b.)

Now,

Probability that Box A is chosen given that Red marble is chosen is

P(Box A | Red marble ) = [tex]\frac{(\frac{3}{5})(\frac{1}{2}) }{(\frac{3}{5})(\frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{1}{5})(\frac{1}{2})} = \frac{\frac{3}{10} }{\frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10} } = \frac{\frac{3}{10} }{\frac{4}{10}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Y=-1|x-2|+1 how to solve

Answers

Answer:

if    x ≥ 2, then y = x - 1

if    x < 2, then y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1* |x - 2|  +  1

y = |x-2| + 1

*** The rule on absolute value: |a| =a, if a ≥ 0; |a| = -a, if a < 0

If       x-2 ≥ 0,   then |x-2| = x-2, so y = (x - 2) + 1 = x - 1; y = x - 1

So   if    x ≥ 2, then y = x - 1

If      x-2 < 0,    then |x-2| = -(x-2) = -x + 2, so y =  {-x + 2} + 1 = -x + 3; y = -x + 3

So   if    x < 2, then y = -x + 3

Answer:

second option:  12b²(∛2a)

Step-by-step explanation:

you can break [tex]\sqrt[3]{54a}[/tex] into [tex]\sqrt[3]{3^3(2a)}[/tex] which equals 3[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex]

you can break [tex]\sqrt[3]{2ab^6}[/tex] into [tex]\sqrt[3]{2ab^3b^3}[/tex] which equals b²[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex]

now we can simplify: (3b² ·  3[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex]) + 3b²[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex] = 9b²[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex] + 3b²[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex]

this equals 12b²[tex]\sqrt[3]{2a}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

in a major study by the statistics classes at Washington High School, city parking spaces were examined for compliance with the requirement to put money in the parking meters. Overall, the students found that 76% of metered parking places had meters that had NOT expired, and 24% had meters that were expired. If the traffic officer in charge of ticketing cars with expired meters checks meters at random, what is the probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one

Answers

Answer:

0.4224 = 42.24% probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there is a 24% probability that it had expired parking meters.

What is the probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one?

Three possible outcomes:

Two expired(each with 24% probability)

First expired(24% probability) and second not(76% probability)

First not(76% probability) and second expired(24% probability). So

[tex]p = 0.24^2 + 2*0.24*0.76 = 0.4224[/tex]

0.4224 = 42.24% probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one

If 2/3z = 6, then z=

Answers

Answer:

z=9

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given: 2/3z=6

we need to find what z is by itself

6 is 2/3rds of what the value of z is.

to find z, we need to multiply both sides by 3/2 (the reciprocal of 2/3z, to make the coefficient of 1)

3/2*2/3z=6*3/2

z=9

hope this helps :)

z = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 . z = 6

2z/3 = 6

Multiple all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominator,

3 x 2z/3 = 3 x 6

2z = 18 ( 3,3 got cancelled)

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term,

2z/2 = 18/2

On Simplify,

z = 9.
