There are three identical desks, each with two drawers. In one desk, both drawers contain gold coins. In another desk, both draw

ers contain silver coins. In the third desk, one drawer holds a silver coin and the other drawer holds a gold coin. You choose a desk at random, and open one of the drawers at random. If you see a gold coin, what is the probability that the other drawer in that desk also contains a gold coin?

Answer:

P ( B / A ) = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

You select a drawer and select a coin from that drawer.

Let A denote the event that the coin that you select is silver.

Let B denote the event that the other coin in the drawer is gold.

You are equally likely to pick any coin, so:

                 P ( A ) = 3 silver coins / 6 coins in total = 0.5

There are 6 different ways you could have selected a coin. Only one of them results in you selecting a silver coin AND the other coin in the drawer being gold, so:

                 P ( A & B ) = 1 desired / 6 total coins = 1/6

By the definition of conditional probability:

                P ( B / A ) = P ( A & B ) / P ( A )

                                 = 1/6 / 0.5

                                 = 1 /3

Answer:

1) r, q, s. 2). 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) from the given (q) is smaller than (r) and (s) is less than (q) by 2.

2) you need to make all the fractions have the same numerator so you will multiply both the firs and third fraction by 3÷3 ( which is 1 and will not affect the value but will make the numerator of the fractions equal) and the fractions between them is the second fraction and it's denominator is x and there is 5 fractions between the two numbers so there are 5 possible values of x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Since you make no other restrictions, the numbers can have duplicates.

9 + 9 + 2  is one possibility.

9 + 7 + 4   is another

9 + 8 + 3

and another 33 possibilities. Surely you are not expected to list them all. Three should be enough.
