48/80 = x/100
cross multiply

4800 = 80x
divide by 80

X = 60

60% is the discount

∠C and ∠D are vertical angles with m∠C=−3x+58 and m∠D=x−2 . What is m∠D ?

11111nata11111 [884]

Vertical angles are equal

-3x + 58 = x - 2
-3x - x = -2 - 58
-4x = - 60
x = -60/-4
x = 15

m < D = x - 2....15 - 2 = 13 <====
m < C = -3x + 58....-3(15) + 58 = 13

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

No, the answer is not $\dfrac{1}{3}$
