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}

53 - 9y = 1<br> -7.2 + 2y = -5
telo118 [61]

Answer:

1.1, -5

Step-by-step explanation:

53 - 9y = 1

from equation i

53-9y = 1

-9y= 1-53 = -52

y = -52/-9= 52/9 = 5⁷/₉

-7.2 + 2y = -5

add 7.2 to both sides

2y= -5+7.2 = 2.2

y= 2.2/2 = 1.1

How do you right a number in its prime factorization?
Whitepunk [10]
Please use "write" here, not "right." "write" is "right" here, if you get my drift.
"right" is wrong in this context.    ;)

Example:  Most of us would see immediately that 5 is a prime factor of 50.

Write 50 as 5 * 10.

10 is not prime; it can be factored into 5 and 2.

Thus, 50 written as the product of its prime factors is 5 * 5 * 2  (answer)
