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

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula

d=\sqrt{(1+4)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}  }

d=\sqrt{5^{2}+0^{2}  }

d=\sqrt{25+0} \\d=\sqrt{25} \\d=5

Hope this helps!

Crane Company provided the following information from its accounting records for 2019.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$10.00 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Overhead application rate which is also known as overhead absorption rate on the basis on labor hours is the total budgeted overhead  for 2019 which is $900,000 divided by the expected production of 90,000 labor hours for the year.

overhead application rate=$900,000/90,000=$10 per hour

This implies that for every one hour worked overhead cost of $10 would be added to the other costs incurred.

The correct option then is the third option of $10.00 per hour

It would be J. This is because the opposite of -3.5 would be 3.5 and the absolute value is just a positive integer or positive number so that would be 3.5 as well so its J
