(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

lies to the partition {A1, A2} and the event B.
There are two coins in a box; one coin is a fair coin, and the other is a biased coin thatcomes up heads 75 percent of the time. Fiona chooses a coin at random and tosses it.
(b) What is the probability that the chosen coin flips heads? (Hint: The Law of TotalProbability.)
(c) Given that the chosen coin flips heads, what is the conditional probability that it wasthe biased coin? (Hint: Bayes’ Theorem.)
(d) Given that the chosen coin flips tails, what is the conditional probability that it wasthe biased coin?

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

c) Using Bayes theorem

conditional probability that it wasthe biased coin

=\frac{0.375}{0.625} \\=\frac{3}{5}

d) Given that the chosen coin flips tails,the conditional probability that it was the biased coin=\frac{0.25*0.5}{0.25*0.5+0.5*0.5} \\=\frac{1}{3}

Answer: Not 100% sure but this is what I think.

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5, -1) (15, −9)

1Y - 2Y / 1X - 2X = SLOPE

-1 + 9 / 5 - 15 = 8/-10 = -8/10 = -4/5
