Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2. 
H - head 
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T)   = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained 
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained 
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out, 
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
               = 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
               = 0.12 / 0.42
               = 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

I can  be wrong but i most likely sure it is correct because a triangle is 180 degrees you have to add 102 with 52 take that total and subtract it with 180 to find that angle is what you need to find the length. Again i am not sure but might be right.

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question
statuscvo [17]
The correct answer is the option A.

 The explanation is shown below:

 The option A is theoretical probability, because they did not make any experiment to determine the probability, while in the others options, they had to make equal tests for to determine the probability.

 For example, Lisa had to attempted 25 basketball free throws to determine which one them she could make and, then, determine the probability. While Kelli did not have to make any test.
