Suppose identical tags are placed on both the left ear and the right ear of a fox. The fox is then let loose for a period of tim

e. Consider the two events C1={left ear tag is lost} and C2={right ear tag is lost}. Let π=P(C1)=P(C2), and assume C1 and C2 are independent events. Derive an expression (involving π) for the probability that exactly one tag is lost given that at most one is lost.

Answer:

The Probability of exactly one tag being lost, in terms of π is 2\pi(1-\pi)-\pi^2(1-\pi)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tree diagram attached to the bottom of this answer, you can see that the probability of only one tag being lost is the union of the probability of the left tag being lost when the right one is not lost and the probability of the right tag being lost when the left one is not lost.

Probability of losing only the right tag:

P(C2|\frac{}{C1})=P(C2)*\frac{}{P(C1)}=\pi*(1-\pi)

Probabilty of losing only the left tag:

P(C1|\frac{}{C2})=P(C1)*\frac{}{P(C2)}=\pi*(1-\pi)

Now, to unite those two probabilities, we use basic probability properties:

P(C2|\frac{}{C1}) ∪ P(C1|\frac{}{C2})=P(C2|\frac{}{C1})+P(C1|\frac{}{C2})-(P(C1|\frac{}{C2})∩P(C2|\frac{}{C1}))

Since the events are independent:

P(C1|\frac{}{C2})∩P(C2|\frac{}{C1})=P(C1|\frac{}{C2})*P(C2|\frac{}{C1})

So, the union becomes:

P(C2|\frac{}{C1})∪P(C1|\frac{}{C2})=P(C1|\frac{}{C2})+P(C2|\frac{}{C1})-P(C1|\frac{}{C2})*P(C2|\frac{}{C1})

Replacing:

=\pi(1-\pi)+\pi(1-\pi)-\pi^2(1-\pi)^2=2\pi(1-\pi)-\pi^2(1-\pi)^2

Circle O is shown. 2 tangents intersect at a point outside of the circle which is labeled Satellite. The angle formed is 20 degr
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see is 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two tangents intersect at a point outside the with circle center O

The angle formed between between the two tangent = 20°

The first arc formed is measured as x°, which is the arc opposite the point where the two tangents meet = The arc the satellite can see

The angle x is given by the relationship;

x = 2 × (90 - v/2)

Where;

v = The angle formed at the point where the two tangent meet = 20°

Therefore;

x = 2 × (90 - 20/2) =  2 × (90 - 10) =  2 × 80  = 160°

The arc measure, x, that the satellite can see = 160°.

Thanks in advance for your help, the question is;
valkas [14]

Answer:

8, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 2(x + 1) = 22

1/2x + 2x + 2 = 22

1/2x + 2x = 20

5/2x = 20

5x = 40

x = 8

8, 9

4 + 18 = 22
