Answer:

There is a  2/3  probability that the other side is also black.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here let B1: Event of picking a card that has a black side

B2: Event of picking a card that has BOTH black side.

Now, by the CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY:

P(B_2/B_1 )  = \frac{P(B_1\cap B_2)}{P(B_1)}

Now, as EXACTLY ONE CARD has both sides BLACK in three cards.

⇒ P (B1 ∩ B2) = 1 /3

Also, Out if total 6 sides of cards, 3 are BLACK from one side.

⇒ P (B1 ) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Putting these values in the formula, we get:

P(B_2/B_1 )  = \frac{P(B_1\cap B_2)}{P(B_1)} = \frac{1}{3}  \times\frac{2}{1} = \frac{2}{3}

⇒ P (B2 / B1)  =  2/3

Hence, there is a  2/3  probability that the other side is also black.

You have 60 CD cases that you would like to store on a shelf that is 24 inches long. if each CD case is 3/8 inch wide, is there
Jet001 [13]
Yes you do.

The shelf is 24 in. long, so to fit, the total width of all the cases must be < 24 in.

If each case is 3/8 inches:
60 * 3/8 = 22.5

22.5 < 24, therefore they will all fit.
