Sally has two coins. The first coin is a fair coin and the second coin is biased. The biased coin comes up heads with probabilit

y .75 and tails with probability .25. She selects a coin at random and flips the coin ten times. The results of the coin flips are mutually independent. The result of the 10 flips is: T,T,H,T,H,T,T,T,H,T. What is the probability that she selected the biased coin?

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

''What is the probability that she selected the biased coin?”

When we have n possible outcomes of an event and all of them have the same probability of appearance, then in theory each possibility has a probability 1/n of being the result of the event.

In this case the event is choosing randomly a coin out of 2, so no matter what the biased coin is or the results we get when we toss it, the probability of choosing the biased coin is ½ = 0.5 or 50%.

Find the volume and surface area of this prism.
mina [271]

Answer:

V = 408 cm cubed

SA = 558 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a prism, multiply the area of the base by the height. This is 1/2 times width times height times length.

V =1/2 l*w*h =1/2* 6*8*17 = 408

To find the surface area of a prism, find the area of the triangular base and the area of each rectangular side.

Area of the base is A = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 6 * 8 = 24. Since there are 2 bases, the area is 48.

Area of the rectangular side is A = b*h = 17*10 = 170. Since there are three, the area is 3*170 = 510.

The surface area of the prism is 48 + 510 = 558.
