(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}

A server sees 90 customers over 6 hours. At the same rate, how many customers would the server see in 10 hours? *
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the unit rate. So we divide 90 by 6 and we get 15. So the server would see 15 customers in one hour. Now we multiply 15 by 10 and get 150.

If we want to check our answer we can multiply 6 by 15 and we get 90. So now we can conclude that both are true.

Hope I helped!!

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (1,2)(1,2)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 2, right parenthesis and a directrix at
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  y = -1/8(x -1)² +4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola can be written from focus and directrix using the form ...

  y = 1/(4p)(x -h)² +k

where p is the distance from vertex to focus, and (h, k) is the vertex.

The vertex-focus distance is half the distance from the directrix to the focus. Here, that is ...

  p = (2 -6)/2 = -4/2 = -2

The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix on the same vertical line, so has coordinates ...

  (h, k) = ((1, 2) +(1, 6))/2 = (1, 4)

__

Using these values of p and (h, k), we find the equation of the parabola to be ...

  y = 1/(4(-2))(x -1)² +4

  y = -1/8(x -1)² +4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can check the graph by considering the definition of a parabola: each point on the curve is equidistant from the focus and the directrix. This is easily verified for points on the horizontal and vertical lines through the focus. For example, point (5, 2) is 4 units from the focus, and 4 units from the directrix.
