You are given two coins, one unbiased and the other two-tailed (both sides are tails). Choose a coin at random and toss it once

(assume that the probability of choosing the unbiased coin is 3 4 ). Given that the result is tails, find the probability that the two-tailed coin was chosen

Answer:6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

so basically given observation is u got a tail from a biased coin.

so our favorable case is getting a tail from biased coin.

we will use the probability for it:

p1= probability of getting choosing biased coin and getting tail =probability of choosing biased coin* probability of tail = 3/4*1

p2= probability of choosing a fair coin and getting tail= probability of choosing fair coin*probability of getting tail on it = 1/4*1/2 = 1/8

so p(E)= p1/(p1+p2)= 3/4/(3/4+1/8)=7/8

A right rectangle prism has a length of 2 1/2 feet, a width of 3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2 feet. Unit cubes with side lengths
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Volume = 11 1/4 feet cubed

90 cubes can be added to fill the prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

(L)(W)(H) = volume

(2 1/2)(3)(1 1/2) = 11 1/4 ft cubed

1 cube is 1/2 a foot so 2 1/2 ft is 5 cubes, 3 ft is 6 cubes, and 1 1/2 ft is 3 cubes.

(5)(6)(3) = 90 cubes

-Help me with this math graph I’ll give a lot of points for correct answer and work <br> *brainlist*
loris [4]

Check the picture below.

the constant of proportionality, namely the slope, for the original rectangle will just be 4/2 = 2, and for the dilated version shown that he did, it'll be 20/10 = 2.

part B)

we know the slope is 2, or 2/1 so then

\bf \cfrac{length}{width}\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{rise}{run}}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}~\hspace{2.7em}\stackrel{\textit{using a rectangle with a lenght of 14~\hfill }}{\cfrac{14}{w}=\cfrac{2}{1}\implies 14=2w\implies \cfrac{14}{2}=w\implies 7=w}

You have a bag of gummy worms with 5 green, 3 blue, 6 red, and 2 orange. Which expression represents the probability that you wi
blondinia [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{8} <em>I think</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a bag witha a total of 16 gummy worms right? 6 out of 16 of them are red, 5 out of 16 are green.

  • so you pull out a red one and eat it. the probabilty of you doing that is \frac{6}{16} . keep it in mind that you <em>ate </em>a gummy worm.
  • after enjoying that gummy worm you decide to take another one, but this time, it's green. you know you just ate one right, <em>but </em>you did not replace it now did you? what that means is out of the 16 gummies you had, you are now left with 15 (because you ate one).
  • now you are left with 15 gummy worms. you take a green one out of the packet. the probabilty of you doing that is \frac{5}{15}.

now that you've got your probabilities all sorted, now it's time to use some basic probability principles. if you ever come across a probability question with the word and, you need to know automatically that you are multiplying. if you ever come across the word or, you are adding. it's always gonna be like this.

so when you multiply your two probabilities, you get the answer \frac{1}{8}

whenever you're dealing with probability, make sure you're aware of things that are being taken. check whether they're being replaced or not. the way I attempted at working it out is how the other probability questions involving replacements are solved, no matter what it is.

I really hope you found this helpful (<em>that is if all I said is correct</em>) :)
