How many combinations of players can a coach have if he needs to pick 2 out of a total of 4?

An arcade booth at a county fair has a person pick a coin from two possible coins available and then toss it. If the coin chosen

Answer:

b. 0.6024

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

Suppose two events A and B are not independent, i.e. they can occur simultaneously. It means there is a space where the intersection of A and B is not empty:

$P(A\cap B) \neq 0$

If we already know event B has occurred, we can compute the probability that event A has also occurred with the conditional probability formula

$\displaystyle P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

Now analyze the situation presented in the question. Let's call F to the fair coin with 50%-50% probability to get heads-tails, and U to the unfair coin with 32%-68% to get heads-tails respectively.

Since the probability to pick either coin is one half each, we have

$P(U)=P(F)=50\%=0.5$

If we had picked the fair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.5 also, so

$P(F\cap H)=0.5\cdot 0.5=0.25$

If we had picked the unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.32, so

$P(U\cap H)=0.32\cdot 0.5=0.16$

Being A the event of choosing the fair coin, and B the event of getting heads, then

$P(B)=P(F\cap H)+P(U\cap H)=0.25+0.16=0.41$

$P(A\cap B)=P(F\cap H)=0.25$

$\displaystyle P(A|B)=\frac{0.25}{0.41}=0.61$

The closest answer is

b. 0.6024

Find the measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon. (A regular polygon is one that has all the same sides and angles).

NemiM [27]

The interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees.

<h3>What is an octagon?</h3>

An octagon is a polygon that has 8 sides. Therefore, a regular octagon is a octagon with all it sides and angles equal to each other.

Therefore, the sum of angles in an octagon is each interior angle multiply by the number of sides.

Therefore,

n = number of sides = 8

Hence,

interior angle = (n - 2)180 / n

interior angle = (8 - 2)180 / 8

interior angle = 6 × 180 / 8

interior angle = 1080 / 8 = 135°

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-y - 2x³ = y²

Rate of change of tangent line at point (-1, -2)

Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1

Find 1st Derivative

Implicit Differentiation [Basic Power Rule]: $-y'-6x^2=2yy'$
[Algebra] Isolate y' terms: $-6x^2=2yy'+y'$
[Algebra] Factor y': $-6x^2=y'(2y+1)$
[Algebra] Isolate y': $\frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}=y'$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}$

Step 3: Differentiate Pt. 2

Find 2nd Derivative

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{-12x(2y+1)+6x^2(2y')}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2y'}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Back-Substitute y': $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2(\frac{-6x^2}{2y+1} )}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x-\frac{72x^4}{2y+1} }{(2y+1)^2}$

Step 4: Find Slope at Given Point

[Algebra] Substitute in x and y: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(-1)^4}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(1)}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Multiply: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-48+12-\frac{72}{-4+1} }{(-4+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{(-3)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Divide: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36+24 }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-12}{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Simplify: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-4}{3}$
