Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert 18 ft to inches.

18 × 12 in. = 216 in.

Now we divide 18 ft written as 216 in. by 8 in.

216 in. / 8 in. = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Conditional Probability</u>

Suppose two events A and B are not independent, i.e. they can occur simultaneously. It means there is a space where the intersection of A and B is not empty:

$P(A\cap B) \neq 0$

If we already know event B has occurred, we can compute the probability that event A has also occurred with the conditional probability formula

$\displaystyle P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

Now analyze the situation presented in the question. Let's call F to the fair coin with 50%-50% probability to get heads-tails, and U to the unfair coin with 32%-68% to get heads-tails respectively.

Since the probability to pick either coin is one half each, we have

$P(U)=P(F)=50\%=0.5$
