The coin we choose is equally likely to be fair or unfair, since the ratio of fair to unfair coins is 2:2 = 1:1.

So, 50% of the times we pick a fair coin, which lands on heads with probability 50%.

The other 50% of the times we pick an unfair coin, which lands on heads with probability 90%.

Since these two events are mutually exclusive (a coin is either fair or unfair), the probability of having the coin to land on heads is

\underbrace{0.5\times 0.5}_{\text{fair coin lainding on heads}} + \underbrace{0.5\times 0.9}_{\text{unfair coin lainding on heads}} = 0.25 + 0.45 = 0.65

Y-4=0 in standard form
wolverine [178]
Standard form : Ax + By = C

y - 4 = 0
y = 4...this is a horizontal line and a horizontal line has a 0 slope

so in standard form, ur equation is : 0x + y = 4

Consider the function graphed below.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. (see attached)

Step-by-step explanation:

All the answers agree that the function is x² for x < 1. Where they disagree is in the slope and y-intercept of the linear portion for x > 1.

The line has a slope that is less than 1 unit of rise for 1 unit of run, so will not be selections A or C, which have slopes of 3.

The y-intercept is clearly positive if we extend the line to the left until it reaches the y-axis. This eliminates selection D from consideration, leaving only selection B.

The slope of a line is (-1/2) and a point on the line is (-2, 3). Find the equation for the line in slope intercept form.
Helga [31]

Answer:

y=-1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=-1/2(x-(-2))

y-3=-1/2(x+2)

y=-1/2x-2/2+3

y=-1/2x-1+3

y=-1/2x+2
