Given that initial time for jogging is,

a_{_1}=14

After each week the time is increased by

d=7

This gives an arithmetic sequence.

To find n such that,

a_n=70

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} a_n=a_1+(n-1)d \\ n=\frac{a_n-a_1}{d}+1 \end{gathered}

So,

\begin{gathered} n=\frac{70-14}{7}+1 \\ =\frac{56}{7}+1 \\ =8+1 \\ =9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, 9 weeks before you are up to jogging 70 minutes.

An unfair coin with​ Pr[H] = 0.2 is flipped. If the flip results in a​ head, a marble is selected at random from a urn containin
satela [25.4K]
Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2. 
H - head 
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T)   = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained 
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained 
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out, 
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
               = 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
               = 0.12 / 0.42
               = 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

Estimate
Taya2010 [7]
126/10 would mean that from the original number, the decimal point is at 126.0 so when it is divided by 10, it will move over one placement, making it 12.6... I would estimate that your answer is C. 12.6
