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

d card that is black on one side and white on the other. You select one card at random and note that the side facing up is black. What is the probability that the other side is also black?

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.

Answer:

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

As the random variable takes the values from 0 ----10 it can be written as

x= {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

The probability of the defective and non defective items would be

P ( defective) = 12/ 100 = 0.12

P ( non defective) = 1-0.12= 0.88

Since the events are independent the probability of defective items in the randomly 10 selected items would be given

P (1/10) * 0.12 +P ( 2/10) * 0.12 + P(3/10)*0.12 ,---------,+P (10/10) * 0.12

Similarly the probability of non defective item s would be

P (1/10) * 0.88 +P ( 2/10) * 0.88 + P(3/10)*0.88 ---------P (10/10) * 0.88

That is the individual probability is multiplied with the probability of the defective or non defective items to get the total probability of defective and non defective items as the events are independent.

AlexFokin [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

the total angles in the triangle are 180°

so,

63° + 57° + ∠2 = 180°

120° + ∠2 = 180°

∠2 = 180° - 120°

∠2 = 60°
