An envelope contains three cards: a black card that is black on both sides, a white card that is white on both sides, and a mixe
1 answer:
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:
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 (B2 / B1) = 2/3
Hence, there is a 2/3 probability that the other side is also black.

If you check the picture below
the rectangular solid is a 6x6x6, so all sides are equal thus is a cube
is painted on all faces, so the only part that's painted is the faces, ok
then you split it like in the picture, you have all 6 faces painted there,
now, let's say each of those 6 faces are cut in 2cm
how many of those 2cm pieces will each have? so get that amount for each and sum them up, that's how many of the cubes have one face painted
only the cubes that are part of the face, which was painted, are the ones that have a painted face themselves
keep in mind that each face is a 6x6 rectangle
