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

45/100 in simplest form
Harrizon [31]
Hello there! How are you today?

First, let's take a look at our numbers.

45 / 100

Both of these numbers have a 0 and a 5, which means it is divisible by 5.
Let's divide both of them by 5.

45 / 5 = 9
100 / 5 = 20

We are now left with 9/20.

This is your simplified fraction since 9 and 20 do not have any common factors.

I hope this helps!

6-1/2z=2/3<br> what is z?
Marina CMI [18]
6 - 1/2z = 2/3
subtract 6 from both sides
- 1/2z = -16/3
divide both sides by -1
1/2z = 16/3
rewrite
1z/2 = 16/3
multiply both sides by 2
1z = 32/3
z = 32/3 or 10 2/3

Hope this helps :)
