Answer is (d).

Let's take the constant as K.

y=K. (1/x)
K = yx
K = (-16) x (-64)
K = 1024

Answer:

$\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to isolate $\pi$ by taking it common from both terms on the right:

$A=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh\\A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)$

Now, since we want $\pi$ in terms of the other variables, we can divide the left hand side (A) by whatever is multiplied with $\pi$ on the right hand side. Then we will have an expression for $\pi$ . Shown below:

$A=\pi (2r^2 + 2rh)\\\pi = \frac{A}{2r^2 + 2rh}$

This is the xpression for $\pi$

(a) Let {A1, A2} be a partition of a sample space and let B be any event. State and prove the Law of Total Probability as it app

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that {A1, A2} be a partition of a sample space and let B be any event. State and prove the Law of Total Probability as it applies to the partition {A1, A2} and the event B.

Since A1 and A2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, we can say

b) P(B) = P(A1B)+P(A2B)

Selecting any one coin is having probability 0.50. and A1, A2 are events that the coins show heads. $P(B/A1) = 0.50 \\P(B/A2) = 0.75\\P(A1B) = 0.5(0.5) = 0.25 \\P(A2B) = 0.75(0.5) = 0.375\\P(B) = 0.625$
