Suppose you have 3 jars with the following contents. Jar 1 has 1 white ball and 4 black balls. Jar 2 has 2 white balls and 1 bla

ck ball. Jar 3 has 2 white balls and 1 black ball. One jar is to be ?selected, and then 1 ball is to be drawn from the selected jar. The probabilities of selecting the? first, second, and third jars are? 1/2?, ?1/3?, and ?1/6 respectively. Find the probability the ball was drawn from Jar 2?, given that the ball is white.

Answer:

The probability of finding the white ball from second Jar = 20/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Jar 1 contains 1 White ball and 4 black balls

P(w | J₁) = 1/5

Jar 2 contains 2 White balls and 1 black ball

P(w | J₂) = 2/3

Jar 1 contains 2 White balls and 1 black ball

P(w | J₃) = 2/3

Also, Given

P(J₁) = 1/2

P(J₂) = 1/3

P(J₃) = 1/6

P(w) = P(J₁)×P(w | J₁) + P(J₂)×P(w | J₂) + P(J₃)×P(w | J₃)

P(w) = 1/2×1/5 + 1/3×2/3 + 1/6×2/3 =13/30

To find: P(J₂ | w)

According to conditional probability,

P(J₂ | w) = P(J₂)×P(w | J₂)/P(w)

P(J₂ | w) = (1/3×2/3)/(13/30)

P(J₂ | w) = (1/3×2/3)/(13/30) = 20/39

<u>The probability of finding the white ball from second Jar = 20/39</u>

the coordinates of point t are (0,2). the midpoint of st is (1,-6) find the coordinates of point s.

sasho [114]

Question

the coordinates of point t are (0,2). the midpoint of st is (1,-6) find the coordinates of point s.

Answer:

(10,-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

0 + x

--------- = 5 Multiply both sides by 2 ----> 0 + x = 10 or x = 10

2

2 + y

-------- = -8 Multiply both sides by 2 ----> 2 + y = -16 or y = -14

2

Therefore, the coordinates of point S should be at (10,-14)

Assume that the weights of quarters are normally distributed with a mean of 5.67 g and a standard deviation of 0.07 g. If a vend

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

0.98046

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

μ = 5.67

σ = 0.07

Here we are required to find

P(5.48 <X<5.82) and between 5.48 and 5.82 we each z-score given by

<em>z = (x - μ) / σ</em>

So 5.48 we have z = -2.714 and 5.82 we have z = 2.143

Therefore we have the area of interest on the normal distribution chart given by :

P( -2,714 < z < 2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + P(Z > 2.143)

= 1 - P(Z<-2.714) + (1 - P(Z < 2.143))

= 1 - 0.00336 + 1 - 0.98382

= 1 - 0.01954 = 0.98046

A the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

Komok [63]

To find the slope of g(x), use the slope formula(m):

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ And plug in two points, I will use:

(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)

(5, 4) = (x₂, y₂)

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{4-2}{5-0}$

$m=\frac{2}{5}$

You could do the same to find f(x) by finding two points and using the slope formula, or you could use this to tell visibly:

$m=\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each distinguished point

Run is the number of units you go to the right from each distinguished point

If you look at the graph, you can see the points (0, -1) and (3, 1). From each point, you go up 2 units and to the right 3 units (you can make sure by using another point). So the slope of f(x) is $\frac{2}{3}$

Whichever line looks more vertical(and is positive) has the greater slope. So the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The answer is option A
