A box contains 3 coins, one fair, one weighted with a 2 3 chance of coming up heads, and one weighted with a 2 3 chance of comin

g up tails. You take a coin at random from the box, flip it 20 times, and get 11 heads. What is the probability you have the fair coin?

Answer:

The probability that we have a fair coin is 0.2717

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ci be the event that the coin i is used for while we let i = 1,2,3 (representing the three coin)

We also let H be the event that the coin which is flipped lands (which is head)

Therefore, the problem arise:

That:  P(H/C1) = 1/2.............fair coin

          p(H/C2) = 2/3..........Chance of head

          p(H/C3) = 2/3............Chance of tail

Now, noting that the coin was picked at random,

We have, : p(Ci) = P(C1) = P(C2) = P(C3) = 1/3

We can then say that or calculate thus:

P( C2 | H ) = P (H ∩ C2) ÷ P(H)

Where P (H ∩ C2) means the probability of event intersection

= P(H ∩ C2) ÷ P(H ∩ C1) + P(H ∩ C2) + P(H ∩ C3)

= P(H | C2) P(C2) ÷ P(H | C1) P(C1) + P(H | C2) P(C2) + P(H | C3) P(C3)

= (1 / 2) (1 / 3) ÷  (1/2)(1/3) + (2/3)(1/3) + (2/3) (1/3)

0.5 × 0.3 ÷ (0.5 × 0.3) + (0.67 × 0.3) + (0.67 × 0.3)

0.15 ÷ 0.15 + 0.201 + 0.201

=0.15 / 0.552

= 0.2717

How many students can sit around a cluster of 7 square table? The tables in a classroom have square tops. Four students can comf
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

16 students can sit around a cluster of 7 square table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to find how many students can sit around a cluster of 7 square table.

The tables in a classroom have square tops.

Four students can comfortably sit at each table with ample working space.

If we put the tables together in cluster it will look as shown in figure.

From the pattern we can observe that:

Number of square table in each cluster   Total number of students

                     1                                                                 4

                     2                                                                6

                     3                                                                8

                     4                                                                10

                     5                                                                12

                     6                                                                14

                     7                                                                16

Hence, 16 students can sit around a cluster of 7 square table.

How many 10-digit ternary strings are there that contain exactly two 0s, three 1s, and five 2s?
Svet_ta [14]

There are \dbinom{10}2 ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.

There are \dbinom83 ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's \dbinom55=1 way of doing that.

So we have

\dbinom{10}2\dbinom83\dbinom55=\dfrac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}\dfrac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}=2520

The last expression has a more compact form in terms of the so-called multinomial coefficient,

\dbinom{10}{2,3,5}=\dfrac{10!}{2!3!5!}=2520
