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

Which function has an inverse function?
denis23 [38]

<span>Example 5: If f(x) = 2x – 5, find the inverse. This function passes the Horizontal Line Test which means it is a onetoone function that has an inverse. y = 2x – 5 Change f(x) to y. x = 2y – 5 Switch x and y. Solve for y by adding 5 to each side and then dividing each side by 2.</span>

Base systems like binary and hexadecimal seem a bit strange at first. The key is understanding how different systems "tick over"
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Explained in detail Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at first the decimal (base 10).

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...numbers are exhausted. 10 (note we take 1 and repeat the process) 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19.. 20 (note again we take 2 and repeat the process) 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29.... 30 (again the process continues with 3 and goes on)...

No we apply similar process with Binary numbers (Base 2).

0 1 ...(Numbers are exhausted)... 10 11 (We repeat the process) 100 101 110 111 ( and it continues ) 1 000 1001 1010.

And the same process can be applied to the Hexa-decimal numbers (Base 16).

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (Note! 10 is A Because numbers are not exhausted) A B C D E F.  (0 to F).

after f there are no more numbers, the 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F..... and the process continues.
