Alex : Hey Bob, I think this coin is biased; I flipped it a few times and it always lends Tail. I think p, the probability of la

nding Head, must be less than 5%. Can you take a look?
Bob: Seriously? I bet it's fair, that is I think p = 1/2. Let me flip it three times and count the number of Heads. If the number of Heads is smaller than some threshold t, then I will buy you dinner. Otherwise, you will buy me dinner.
Alex: Wow Bob, okay! I will go ahead and reserve a fancy restaurant.
Bob: One last thing, though, just to make things fair: pick any t you want, but let's keep the proba- bility that I buy you dinner even if I'm right (that is, even if the truth is p= 1/2) below 10% please.
Alex: Go away, Bob! Stop wasting my time!

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex finally understands how Bob was trying to trick him into winning the bet because of how he puts in the condition for probability being less than 10%. Whichever way the outcome of the coin toss turns out to be, it will be in Bob's favor and Alex will lose the bet. If the coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of having heads exactly twice is \frac{4}{9}

A man is five times as old as his son. Four years ago the man was thirteen times as old as his son.
skad [1K]

Answer:

Age of son = 6 years

Age of man = 5×6 = 30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>GIVEN :-</u>

  • A man is 5 times as old as his son. (In Present)
  • 4 years ago , the man was 13 times as old as his son

<u>TO FIND :-</u>

  • The present ages of the man & his son.

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

Let the present age of son be 'x'.

⇒ Present age of man = 5x

4 years ago ,

Age of son = (Present age of son) - 4 = x - 4

Age of man = (Present age of man) - 4 = 5x - 4

The man was thirteen times as old as his son. So,

=> 5x - 4 = 13(x - 4)

Now , solve the equation.

  • Open the brackets in R.H.S.

=> 5x - 4 = 13x - 52

  • Take 5x to R.H.S. and -52 to L.H.S. Also , take care of their signs because they are getting displaced from L.H.S. to R.H.S. or vice-versa.

=> 13x - 5x = 52 - 4

=> 8x = 48

  • Divide both the sides by 8

=> \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{48}{8}

=> x = 6

<u>CONCLUSION :-</u>

Age of son = 6 years

Age of man = 5×6 = 30 years
