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

8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number...
astraxan [27]

Answer:

(A) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets define the number as x.

"8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number" is translated into "8(x - 6) = 4x"

8(x - 6) = 4x

8x - 48 = 4x

4x = 48

x = 12

What is the situation for these two equations ×=10+2 and 10x=2
Tom [10]

Answer:

1 is x=12

2 is x= 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

For equation number 1 you just add 10 and 2, which is 12.

For equation number 2 you divide 2 by 10 and simplify it to 1/5. So x = 1/5

Simplify  ( √ 5 ) ( 3 √ 5 )
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

5^\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{5} can be represented as 5^{\frac{1}{2}} and \sqrt[3]5} can be represented as 5^{\frac{1}{3}}. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as:

5^{\frac{1}{2}}*5^{\frac{1}{3}}

The rule for multiplying two exponents with the same base is you add the exponents. For example: x^m*x^k=x^{m+k}

We can use the same property to get:

5^{\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3}}

which is just 5^\frac{5}{6} after you add the fractions
