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

What is the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence –7.5, –9, –10.5, –12...
natita [175]

Answer:

= - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term ( explicit formula

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7.5 and d = - 9 - (- 7.5) = - 9 + 7.5 = - 1.5

= - 7.5 - 1.5(n - 1) = - 7.5 - 1.5n + 1.5 = - 1.5n - 6

Math question down below
kramer
X + 4/5 = 11
x = 11 - 4/5
x = 55/5 - 4/5
x = 51/5 or 10 1/5

or u can do it this way..
x + 4/5 = 11.....multiply everything by common denominator of 5
5x + 4 = 55
5x = 55 - 4
5x = 51
x = 51/5 or 10 1/5
