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

The answer is A. (1, 4), because when the values are substituted in to the equations, you get 1 = 4 - 3 and 1 + 12 = 13, which are both correct. I hope this helps!

Anne creates necklaces and rings to sell. It takes her 3 hours to make a necklace and 1 hour to make a ring. If she makes 10 ite
ankoles [38]
Hi! to solve the question, how many necklaces did anne make in 16 hours if she makes 10 items in 2 standard 8-hour work days, we should first check the time she needs to make each item.

3 individual hours to make a necklace, and 1 hour to make a ring. according to the problem, she made 10 items in 16 hours. this problem will most likely be trial and error. let’s try one first guess.

my first guess will be, maybe she will make 6 rings and 4 necklaces. 6 times 1 is 6, which takes 6 hours for the rings. 4 times 3 is equal to 12. 6 + 12 is too high! let’s try again.

what about 6 rings and 2 necklaces? 6 times 1 is 6, so that’s 6 hours. 2 times 3 is 6 hours! 6 plus 6 is 12, which is close, but not quite there!

let’s try 7 rings and 3 necklaces! 7 times 1 is 7 hours. 3 times 3 is equal to 9 hours! total that together, 7 plus 9, is equal to 16 hours spent!

so, the answer would be, “Anne made 7 rings and 3 necklaces within 16 hours.” hope this helped!:)
