Answer:

D. a^2 - 6a - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The product is found using the distributive property.

(a -8)(a +2) = a(a +2) -8(a +2)

= a^2 +2a -8a -16

= a^2 -6a -16 . . . . . matches choice D

It’s D because
A times A is A2
A times 2 is 2A. Then you subtract -8A from two A to get negative six a
That Makes D the only correct answer without solving for the -16.

_____

The exponent of 10 is the place-value multiplier that the most-significant digit has.

In the first number, the most-significant digit (3) is multiplied by 0.0001 to find its place value. Of course 0.0001 = 10^-4.

In the second number, the most significant digit (3) is multiplied by 10,000 to find its place value. You know that 10,000 = 10^4.

You have two biased coins. Coin A comes up heads with probability 0.1. Coin B comes up heads with probability 0.6.However, you a

Andrews [41]

Answer:

The probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is based on A Conditional Probability with Biased Coins.

Given data:

P(Head | A) = 0.1

P(Head | B) = 0.6

<u>By using Bayes' theorem:</u>

$P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$

We know that P(B) = 0.5 = P(A), because coins A and B are equally likely to be picked.

Now,

P(Head) = P(A) × P(head | A) + P(B) × P(Head | B)

By putting the value, we get

P(Head) = 0.5 × 0.1 + 0.5 × 0.6

P(Head) = 0.35

Now put this value in $P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$ , we get

$P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}$

$P(B|Head) = 0.6 \times \frac{0.5}{0.35}$

$P(B|Head) = 0.857$

Similarly.

$P(A|Head) = 0.857$

Hence, the probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.
